Some Friday fun

Won some auctions this Friday, I really like the Nickname Hall of Fame, very nice cards. Here is the cards that I won:

Doug "Killer" Gilmour 28/#30

Stu "The Gim Reaper" Grimson 26/#30

I was on a roll so I got a nice Eddie Giacomin Shutout card as well, numbered to 25.

Ed Giacomin 11/#25

And finally a Steve Shutt card numbered to only 4.

New Penguins

On Wednesday we got a couple of new penguins cards.

We also got 19 Upper Deck 1994/95 Electric Ice (since we have the regular base at 80% complete, it's nice to start thinking about the parallel set).

Christmas in July

Today a package arrived from US. A lot of great cards in the box, including 5 complete sets from Topps ('84-85, '85-86, '86-87, '87-88, '88-89) and one from OPC '92-93 + the anniversary set.

Topps 84-85, 85-86, 86-87, 87-88, 88-89

OPC 92-93 including the Anniversary insert set

I took out the highlights of the box, which include the rookie card of mighty Mario Lemieux and a pretty good goalie 😀, Patrick Roy.

But that wasn't enough the seller send some nice free of charge cards:

• Score 91-92 Rookie and Traded (40 cards, complete)
• Score 91-92 Young Superstars (110 cards, complete)
• OPC 92-93 Trophy Winners Box Bottoms Patrick Roy
• Topps 85-86 Stickers Inserts (33 cards, complete)

I would say that this was a pretty good collecting day.

Daily catch

Went to the beach today but still managed to get a couple of Penguins players, nice with an Joe Vitale autograph, but overall nothing special.
