April Mail

[MR.M's Cards]

Or at least I think its all from April, keeping track of time is tricky these days. I have shown some of these in my Bobby Ryan PC Post but will include them here as well :

Bobby Ryan arena parallel, didnt even know these existed, had never seen one....and then saw 3 in a week



Facebook $1 sale adds, these are my new favorite thing, Had the score cards already but I will pick those up for a buck all day long, as well as some gretzky for my PC

Was so awesome watching this game, Bobby's hat trick in his first home game back



Local star who billets about a block away from my house. My sons favorite player. Took 18 days for this card to arrive from a destination 3 hours away.



Another guy with local ties, was a treat watching him play up here for 4 years


I know I over paid on this but some times you just cant let them get away

HHOF from my home town


Another facebook $1 sale



And another


Couple more for my side player PC's


Always a great moment for me to find low print run (/5) cards for the PC from years gone by

That Lumley for $1 is a steal.

Considering he died in 1998, and was not around for the era of "get lots of retired guys to sign cards" - his autos are not exactly super common. Not too tough to find either, but IP autos still do pretty well for him.

Is that one an IP? The Green ink makes me think it was one of the "smokey's" (or whatever it was called) released autos from that set.

Is the arena parallel similar to the 2001-02 Pacific arena exclusives cards, ie. numbered and given away at the arena? Is there a checklist? That Cup Trios is an awesome card, and I agree, sometimes you just need to go for it. Personally for me, the regret of letting it go would outweigh the "remorse" of paying too much.

@30ranfordfan wasnt part of the $1 sale paid $20 for it which is still a great deal, there are several signed cards from that original six set that are being inserted into the wal mart mystery boxes, maybe mj holdings, if not something similar
@Uhtred.the.viking they are not serial numbered. they are given away at the arena, this one is 18-19 and is the fourth ryan arena give away that I am familiar with. It is numbered sen-1 instead of 381 that the regular base is, and also reads 2018-19 team seat on the back
