Hello! Im very excited today as this card ive been looking for ,for 2 years popped up.As some of you may know,im trying to find all the nameplates of HOF players i can.Ive got a nice collection so far.If i remember correctly, 5 of these tretiaks were on ebay with 2 weeks of enshrined going live,all of them had wayyy to high of BIN's.I didnt think they would all sell, and of course they did for crazy amounts.I know 3 went to russian collectors right away to be stored in a PC for ever.I havnt seen one since. A few days ago i did a random enshrined search and found this one,it had been listed for 14 minutes.I was in shock the seller did not want more than he did as a BIN and i quickly paid for the card. So here it is, Vladislav Tretiak 1/1 from a jersey while playing with the Soviet Union. Thanks for the look!
