Bought my son a Cup tin and got a decoy!

[gary991979]

Well as a lot of you know my 8 year old son (Tyler) is trying to build the CUP sets from all years.

and every so often i buy him a tin of Cup to open. We live in the Toronto area and since the Expo is on I said why not.

This is what we got.

I will scan the cards at some point next week.

Base-
Anze Kopitar 65/249

RC-
Tomas Vincour 236/249 (3 color)

Signature Patch-
Ron Hextall 50/75 (2 color)

Honorable Numbers
Brad Marchand 43/63 (2 color)


DECOY!


and this

to bad it is a redemption but since I was at the expo I talked with UD and they told me it would not be long. They even told me why it was not live it is a great story about how UD needed to pay one of the players before he sent the cards back. BUt that has been taken care of now so I am told.




ENSHRINEMENTS TRIPLES

PATRICK ROY / MARTIN BRODEUR / CAREY PRICE

All for trade except the RC and BASE.

"They even told me why it was not live it is a great story about how UD needed to pay one of the players before he sent the cards back."

I am not surprised lol, hopefully you get it soon lol. I wouldn't call it a great story, more an idiotic one on Upper Deck's part that I would be embarassed to have to tell a collector who pulled the redemption. "Ummm yeah, we didn't have the money to pay him yet...."

Haha wow nice! I actually saw you and your son open that tin live at the CnC booth. Congrats!

Considering that all of one of those three guys' autographed content in The Cup was a redemption initially, I have a pretty good feeling as to who it is.

My thought exactly! Why in the world would you tell someone that? Just say, "We should have those cards in hand very soon" and leave it at that.

congrats! I tried to buy it from your son, but he is a tough negotiator! hahaha
