Most know me as a set collector. I do occasionally dabble in player collections though. I don't advertise it because I'm very picky about what I want. I'm looking for a Rookie, Game Used, Auto and one last piece that can be anything that catches my eye from these players:
Wayne Gretzky (The best hockey player ever)
Martin Brodeur (Second best Goaltender - he's played his whole life for an American team, sorry, he can never be the best in my heart)

And My Montreal Obsession:
Maurice Richard (Best MTL forward)
Jacque Plante (MTL pioneer of the face mask)
George Vezina (Pioneering MTL goalie)
Patrick Roy (Best MTL Goalie & Best Ever - sorry Brodeur)

Here are some of the pieces I've picked up. Images should be clickable. I apologize in advance for my poor scanner. The GU & autos are all much nicer in person.

Love that Roy Sweet Shot Ice Signings SP.

Thanks for all the comments so far. The Roy is nice and he's usually pretty sloppy with the last 3 in 33, so the fact that both are legible is nice.

Sick cards. Love the Roy Auto.

Sweet Cards!!!

very nice cards, how much did you pick up the gretzksy rookie for if you dont mind me asking. (you can pm me it if you like)

Very nice cards! Congrats on the PC additions!

I don't mind being asked. I've been searching for a Gretzky BGS graded with Subgrades ever since I got my Roy (>1 year). Since BGS doesn't do subgrades for this card anymore, they're hard to come by. This one came along recently. You can see the listing here:

Final sale price of 137.50 + s/h. Personally, I think this was a steal.

Cheers,

Upgrade?! I know that this is a 3 month mailday, but I just got this guy less than two weeks ago. Do you know how hard it is to find an OPC Gretzky BGS graded with subgrades?! If one comes around and I'm flushed with cash, then maybe I'll pull the trigger. But until then, this guy is here to stay.

Sorry littlekane1088, that card is PC until I retire or die. If you really want one, I know a guy thought who has a copy of that card & is willing to sell for 300+ USD. I can pass on your contact info to him if you'd like.
