Amazing Opportunity.. Help Me Decide!

[devilshockey1967]

Thats a tough call, and one wish I was making, congrats on the made to order. I am by no means a flyers fan, but growing up outside of philly, the Pelle Lindbergh story is still fresh in my mind. I also love Tretiak, but so I thats a tough one, Ipulled a Tretiak/Belfour dual a few years back, and was pretty happy. But there is a connection with the 2. So if you want a card with common ground so to speak, maybe common ice.Vezina/Plante seems like a no-brainer, but Hainesworth is a good choice as well......good luck with the card, and Im sure whatever you finally decide on, it will be amazing

If you are looking at a symbolic card why not Dryden and Tretiak from the '72 Summit Series. I am not sure if one of these has been produced. This series has very strong social factor as it pretains to the Canadian culture as we know it in the world of sports. Even for myself who was only born the year of series it has a profound effect on me. As for people whom had been able to watch the series it goes down to similarity as when JFK was shot. You ask many and they can tell you that time stood still during the final few games. Kids in Canadian classrooms stopped to whach the games. Time as we know it ticked slower during the moments leading up to when Henderson scored the winning goal. Just imagine each time you look at that card (Dryden and Tretiak). The dreams will be so thick that you will have to brush them away from your face.

Without knowing the ins and outs of your collection, it's hard for me to say.

If I were putting the card together, no question I'd want Vezina to be part of it. If you've already got a pad card of Tretiak, I'd suggest going for a little more variety. I'd probably go with Plante as the 2nd piece.... I just feel that he's the bigger name, and the more desirable guy to have on the card.

I don't think you can make a wrong choice though. Congrats on the pickup!

seconded and I love the use of the last line. Stolen from field of dreams and edited to your needs, but still nice :D

Great advice and insight so far folks, definitely strengthened the case for Plante!
