An old and new 'Holy Grail' in this mail call

**dburzyn** · 08-01-2014, 11:02 AM

Hey all,

Haven't been around the boards too much lately as I've been busy with school and all, but have been lurking around and still making occasional pickups. Currently have a couple weeks of vacation so thought I would get caught up with scanning. Here's the last year or so of pickups (yes I've been slacking :comp: )

First up are some traders I picked up:

Hedman Cup Rookie 4 Clr

Letang SPX Rookie Parallel /25

Couple of Crosbys

7/7

and a Stammer

Next are some PC pickups.. starting with my Vintage set- 1951 Parkhurst (graded PSA/SGC 7 or higher)

The first 3 come from a trade with Anish (C55) in what was a very smooth and effortless deal.

Quakenbush

Abel

Smith

Schmidt

I am now 21/105 on the set, so I am slowly chipping away.

Lastly we have some pickups for the Ovechkin PC

Some lower end Ovy rookies I was still missing

An impossible to scan 3 Clr Ultimate Patch

Some harder to find Ultra parallels:

A 1, 2 and barely 3 colour Ovechkin Hot Prospects ARPs

My favourite rookies/parallel combo back in 05/06

Black diamond BGS 9.5

Black diamond Emerald /25

A nice Limited Logo

An SPA Auto Patch

Time to get to the best part of the show.

I don't really like the term 'Holy Grail' as it is quite subjective... That said, I figured I could trick more of you into checking out my thread if I included it :owned:

I am happy to add the 'Holy Grail' of Ovechkin rookies to my collection, and have to give a shout out to Joe (timber09) who helped with US shipping and my brother Lu (peulyen) who helped get the card safely into my hands.

A nice 3 Clr Patch to boot!

So what could be the OLD Holy Grail I was referring to in the title? Well, I guess I had one other vintage pickup I forgot to post....
