It's Benn A While! Recent Pickups! Lots of Jagr, Palffy, and one Big Whale

[Goose97]

Hey everybody! This has been a long time coming. I had taken a bit of a hiatus of sorts from trading since the summer. Waaay too much was on my plate, so I was forced to narrow my focus, and Cards had to be one thing I had to step a bit back from, although I did put up a lot of listings on ebay with the special they ran for the latter half of the year, and didn't do too badly even with the lockout.

After that I found that I had to do a massive overhaul with my site, and photobucket to make sure I was up to date, and even put my Jagr collection(finally) into the Inventory Manager here, as all my other three players were in there already. I still have a few to add, but that will be done soon.

In the meantime I made a couple of deals, and pickups from ebay recently that bolstered my Player collections. Especially Jagr! As well I have found what I considered my biggest whale of all of my players.

Here's the Show:


One nice card of Boyd:


2006-07 Upper Deck Young Guns High Gloss 10/10

Some Palffy's to report:




















Now for the Jagr's:

A bit of ebay:




I picked this up from JRsDugout on SCF:




And all of these with hounourable mention from PIDI:






Believe me this when I say that there has been one great contributor to my Jagr collection, Jörn has been my biggest asset! Also his wantlist is my wantlist as well!













OH! Did I forget about somebody???? There's that other guy I collect!!! I think his name is Stumpel!! Here's one sweet pickup from a local collector:


1998-99 Be A Player Autographs Gold!!! (Can't really tell it in the scan that it's gold, but it is..

So the real purpose of this show & Tell... Not to say that all the other pickups aren't a big deal, because they are. It's just that this next card has a special context, especially for the one reason that it is the ONE, and ONLY, EVER produced Jozef Stumpel Game Used of anything Card Produced in ANY NHL Licenses product, and I have been waiting to get my hands on a copy for over 10 years, and finally last week on a random Stumpel search on ebay I just about hit the roof when I saw one finally listed on ebay, that I went to town on working a deal with the seller!

Here's the meat of the thread, Enjoy:








2000-01 Titanium Game Gear Stick!!!!!

Well worth the wait! Awesome that you came across the Stumpel. It's a BEAUTIFUL looking card!

Some very cool cards. Congrats on the 2000-01 Titanium Game Gear. I really like the look of those cards. I have been working on the Rangers team set for a few years now and I am down to only two cards to complete it.

Thanks Jörn! Somewhere there in during our big deals we've had for Jagr cards there were some other Palffy, and Stumpel distractions...

[Jags16]

Awesome S&T, Brian. You have almost the nicest Jagr PC I know of ;). That Stumpel auto and mem is awesome. Big congrats!
