I Finally Get to Do This....SHIELD YOUR EYES!!
I've always wanted to get to do that.
Culmination - that's pretty much what this thread is. There never has been, nor will there ever be, another Gorges card made that comes close to this.
Story time - my buddy notoriousrob101 and a friend of his split a box...one box...of National Treasures earlier this month. Here in Kelowna.
So Rob opens it up and the hits are coming, really nice box. Then he sees shield. I immediately notice the very distinctive red. I'm thinking, "No way."
Slides it over. There it is.
We pretty much flipped out. What are the odds of that? 1 box....that happened to be located right here where it all began with the Rockets.
So I clubbed him over the head and took it. Criminal charges are pending but it's all worth it.
Nah I'm just kidding about that part.
We worked out a price, I sold some stuff and as of this morning I've finally taken possession.
Behold!
2013-14 National Treasures Dual NHL Insignia #15 Andrei Markov / Josh Gorges
I've had it all with Josh over the past several years. Inserts, parallels, Cup rookie rainbow, jerseys, patches, multi-player patches, autographs, autographed patches, logos, the A from his jersey courtesy of Prime, you name it. I've never had a shield. Until today.
So there you have it.
Cheers y'all.
And a big thanks to Rob for not even demanding naming rights to my first-born.Habs fan and collector! Main PC's: Carey Price, Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, Juraj Slafkovsky, and of course...

Congrats Rich!
I'm a little disappointed that Chalupa Batman won't be the name of your first born, but awesome card! Happy to see it landed in your hands.
And that's a pretty incredible story. That they'd be breaking a single box to split.... and happen to pull out that particular card: Wow! That's the toughest part with those 1/1s.... its one thing to have to come up with the cash (or cards) to acquire them, but even finding them can be an impossible task. That a friend pulls it, amazing!
