I picked up a scanner on the cheap this weekend, and am in the process of scanning my entire tradepage and Parise PC, but first I'm gonna show some latest mail that completed a few rainbows.

SPx: Since I only started collecting him after SPx was out a few months, these parallels were nowhere to be found. I finally picked up the jersey /25 from the bay a few weeks ago, and a fellow Parise collector finally decided to let go of the auto /10. Rainbow complete!

BAP: After only seeing 2 of the players club /15 cards surface after BAP broke, I had to jump on the 3rd one I saw!
Conspicuous by their absence are the dual auto with Gionta, the Trios with Elias and Gionta /25, and the Foursomes with Gionta, Brian Conolly (?) and Patrick Kane (?!) /10. Not one of these cards has surfaced anywhere, not even a semi-common like the dual. So despite what UD says, these do not exist! (Which is asinine since they have have single autos in the normal set and they're just stickers!) Rainbow complete!
Auto, Players Club Auto /15, Platinum Players Club Base /25, Players Club Base /99, base

And now the dreaded Artifacts. Tundra Tandems is the most BS set to collect, but an completist like myself can't avoid it. I wanted to make sure I at least had some decent patches on the two patch cards, so I held out until I saw this one. /35

Then I traded a bunch of PC pulls to AlpineMedic and he gave me this in return!

Crazy that a 1of1 has single color swatches, and it's probably the least glamourous one out there (wow a black background) but nevertheless it's only my 2nd non-plate 1of1!


Here's the whole family, clockwise from top right: patch /10, patch /35, jersey /50, jersey retail unumbered (but rarer than most!), jersey /35, jersey /125, jersey /25, jersey 1of1
(not pictured: Tundra Trios jersey /75, and patch /10, and base rainbow sans 1of1)

There's STILL ANOTHER 1/1 Tundra Tandems out there, a 1of1 patch version, but I doubt it'll ever turn up. So rainbow complete enough for me!

Can't wait till next year, where I can collect double the tandems, one with Elias and one with Modano :| . And the trios with Brodeur :owned:. Sorry wallet!

Much more to come soon, thanks for looking!
 
those are some very sweet parise's there. I can also say with confidance that the bap dual and triple are nowhere to be found. It's because of they're absence and the fact that a bunch of parise's where pulled from the cup that a rumor of zach not signing is the background.

love the #9's
 
Thanks lucscaps. He also had autos in OPC Premier early checklists, as well as the Cup, before it was pulled. I also have a Black Diamond quad jersey/auto redemption that hasn't moved in months...it seems like he stopped signing for them :mad:. I would have loved to see a Parise Limited Logos or Emblems of Endorsement card!

The BAP situation is just crazy though, he had autos in the normal set. Why not slap some of those stickers on the duals and trios cards! Or just remove it from the checklist...

Trust me, nobody was looking more forward to a Elias/Parise dual auto card. I saw that and it shot right to the top of my want list.

Maybe his contract was up or something. Including him with Brodeur in Black instead of the normal Elias is a promising sign for you.

And on the LL front. I know njfireonice was looking forward to that like nobody else.

I would love to see more of your collection for sure.
