I know it's been a while since I posted here. I have considerably slowed down the collecting part of the hobby due to many reasons, but I'm still on the boards reading and catching up on everyones pick ups and card releases. It's great to see everyones still doing great here!!!

Well, I'm still in search of a few rookies from the 03-04 Premier Rookie Patch Auto Set, but the kick is they have to be numbered to their respected jersey numbers from their first season. I started doing the set when it first came out and within the 1st week of release, a few rookies that came out were numbered to their jerseys. I figured I'd buy them and see what happens. Well it turns out I now have 8 out of the 13 rookies numbered to the number the player wore his 1st season.....


Here are the ones that I have....



Marc-Andre Fleury #29/99
Eric Staal #12/99
Tuomo Ruutu #15/99
Nathan Horton #16/99
Fredrik Sjostrom #20/199
Matt Stajan #14/199
Joni Pitkanen #44/199
Peter Sejna #15/199

I also have found the where-abouts of the Joffrey Lupul #26/199 jersey number as well!!! I've talked to him about it and if that goes well I may have that one soon enough.

The FINAL FOUR that I am looking for are....

Jordin Tootoo numbered 55/99 (I actually seen it and forgot to bid on eBay)
Patrice Bergeron numbered 37/199
Jiri Hudler 26/99
Nikolai Zherdev 13/199

If anyone has the time to check out people's photobuckets or even better yet...... google the heck out of the cards to see if they are in anyones collections, I will 100% compensate you and give you a great cash reward!!!


The last time I did this, I landed the Sejna and added it to the pc. I also found the guy who has the Lupul which was AWESOME, so I'm taking another stab at it!!!

Again I am definitely "ALL IN" for rewarding anyone out there who can help me out here. More than anything I'd love to knock off a few more off the list!!! talk about MISSION IMPOSSIBLE but you never know. It's a set that one day I would love to finish, but it's going to be tough, so I'm hoping some of you guys (who may have some extra time on their hands) can help...

Thanks folks and if anything comes up please keep me posted.....
