We'll get to the reason for the corny title soon enough, but first, three more Inks for the collection!

Now for some Carey Price goodness . . .

The ITG sticker seal wasn't present on this. Can I send this in to In The Game and have it re-sealed?

Next, one that I've wanted to get for a long time now but never could find one for either the right price or with a nice enough auto (some are much nicer than others...poor Carey must have signed a ton of these) - that hunt is now over!

And finally, the reason for the seaso--er, title. Check the number:

This patch is THICK!! It is literally bursting out and lifted up some of the plexiglass on the front of the card. And the always rare 3-colour patch to boot! It is an obscenely lovely sight to behold! Christmas in February indeed!

Thanks to all for the deals, and thanks for looking!

Awesome haul! Those "windows" on the Ice patches are small, so to get a 3 colour is great. Thanks for showing.

Yep that was me. A pretty penny, but wow what a card it is. I love looking at it from the side and seeing the bulge.

bout that superlative...once the seal is broken ITG says they are no longer responsible so no you can't get it resealed unfortunately. I have three superlative boyles. the one /10 and one /50 are in one touches and another i left in the sealed ITG loader

Yeah I was surprised to get it at that price. There are some good deals to be had for Carey's cards right now - the other day somebody got a pair of OPC Premiers for $80. Last summer you couldn't get one for under $125.

Sweet pickups Richard, imagine how thick the Price Limited Logos cards are that have recently surfaced!

Yikes, they'll probably have to make an all-new loader for those. The Cup cards are already 180pt. right? Imagine one of those with a bursting out patch!

They are actually 130pt like most patch cards, but yeah you'd probably need a 180pt to comfortably fit those thick Habs patches.
