Never Ending Random Card Of The Day Thread

[Theideafactory]

Curt...I try to keep it random, just seems more fun. But to each his own. No one is complaining for sure.

My last ITG Ultimate Vault Ovechkin card...and last Ovechkin card to show...is one of the few ITG Ultimate cards that had more than just Silver and Gold versions. This time they had Silver, Gold and an Onyx (or Black) 1/1 card. I think UM8 and UM9 did this for a few subsets.

Even the base cards had Onyx versions...here is my Gaborik Onyx 1/1 Base from UM8:

To show you what the three versions looked like, I'll show you some. The label inside the card was the key with these "Trophy Winners" cards.

Example: Silver labels were cards #/24 (not my card):

Gold labels were cards #/9 (not my card):

And the Onyx labels were 1/1 cards...and this is my Vault Ovechkin Onyx version:

V-UM9 "Trophy Winners - Calder Trophy 2006" Onyx - Ruby (original card was the Onyx 1/1)

Now that I've shown all of my Ovechkin cards, I haven't decided yet to continue to show off another specific player (Orr, Howe, Gretzky, Brimsek, Worsley)...or just start showing random cards again for this "Random Card of the Day" thread. ???

Anyone want to make a suggestion???

Thanks!

I like the idea of focusing on one player and showing the different sets that they appear in.

I was a Habs fan until the early 80’s, but I was in awe of Esposito’s scoring prowess and always enjoyed seeing him play.

Going to start showing my Gordie Howe cards. First up are two auto cards Dr. Price offered a few years ago. I picked up one of each.

EP40 Chronology auto. LOVE the design on this set and the super deep checklist of past and present players

The one I'm guessing most of you were waiting for from me since I started showing this set.

Here is today's patch. Nice patch of Forsberg!

I showed this card more than a year ago, but since then I had it graded. Any guess when he will hit 900?

When I showed off all of my 1/1 cards, my Gordie Howe 1/1s were shown then. So, for this round, it is the non-1/1 cards of his.

My next Gordie card is another hard signed auto.

Here's the next patch with just a hint of black on the left corner to make it a two colour.

Here is another card I posted more than a year ago that I have since had graded by PSA. Not the greatest grade, but not bad for a 20 year old card. I believe this is one of his earliest certified autograph cards??

I once had the Sundin and Lindros. Really regret selling them. If anyone have them available please let me know

Today's patch is a beauty of Patrick Roy!

Just thought I post some pics of a card with a bit of a story. Several years ago, I participated in an online break and was thrilled to hit a Wayne Gretzky auto. Only problem was, the auto was missing.





I tweeted about the misfortune and tagged Upper Deck in my post. They were quick to get in touch with me and opened a case on my behalf and asked me to send the card back to them and they would try to make things right. To my pleasant surprise, I received the autographed card within a few short weeks!

Huge new pickup for me! The lowest numbered Gretzky relic I will likely ever own with a beauty Rangers patch:

That's a great Upper Deck turnaround you hardly ever see.

Beauty card!
