My Christmas Literally Stinks! Game-Used Inside!!!
One of the most awesome Christmas mornings in recent memory! Went out and spoiled the wife and was spoiled in return. That's really the way it should be, right? I am very happy and I can tell that she is too!
Let's get it started, shall we?
First the cardboard....
Got a blaster of 11-12 UD1
Not shown are the Byfuglien AWT and Stoll EA Ultimate Team inserts
YGs
Bonus Canvas hit!
Next was a pretty darn good box of Certified!
Not shown: Derek Stepan Totally Certified, Kiprusoff Mirror Blue, Burns Mirror Red, Seguin Certified Potential
Box delivered 5 hits instead of the standard 4, which was nice. Also, I like the memorabilia hits much better than the auto hits, which is unusual for me. You'll see why...
Yeah, an Ottawa guy and a redemption. LOL
And this awesome Selanne piece!
All of the cards are available for trade or sale!
Now for the really fun stuff!
First we've got this cool Canadian Tire Exclusive Collector's Edition Brian Gionta McFarlane figure!
Next is a pair of shirts that will have me Triple Low-Fiving for a while!
And finally the main event....
A couple months back my buddy Patrick (habsmtl09) dropped me a line from the Habs game-used equipment sale telling me that there was something there for me. There were two things, actually, but the Price game-used pads were $3000. LOL We quickly got things arranged and now I have these magnificent things for my Josh Gorges collection!
Check out this fun typo!
These boys have seen some action!
They smell absolutely terrible. The Habs did not launder these guys at all and it is readily apparent. Thank goodness I got Mrs. RGM81 a bunch of nice scented candles because wow, it's pungent. They are truly amazing though and I can't wait to get them on display!
Hope that everybody else has an amazing Christmas!
Awesome Update!
We've got a photomatch!
vs. Columbus Blue Jackets - October 2010
And best of all....
That photo is from October 15, 2010. That night, the Habs played the Sabres and Josh scored his only goal of his injury-shorted 2010-11 campaign. It was the game winner! Yeah!Last edited by RGM81; 12-25-2011 at 05:45 PM.
Habs fan and collector! Current PC's: Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Lane Hutson...., and of course...

awesome stuff...especially those gloves, Gorges has always been one of my favourites, he dosn't get enough respect from the average fan...or his own equipment manager from the looks of it lol.

Very nice. Hockey gear smells terrible. At least the jersey I just picked up was washed by the Hawks beforehand.

Hehe I will definitely have to do that after the Christmas tree comes down. There's some stuff blocking my access right now but there's going to be a re-design coming in January. :)

Awesome gift Rich, AWESOME.
I am loving all the game used starting to filter into this forum, it is really the best way you can go.
Glad to see you dug up some photos of your mitts, well done!
Happy Holidays to you, the missus and the kitties!
