^^^ omg omg omg

if possible, please please please no seals (ie. franchises or superlative) or encased cards (ie. ultimate) if possible ... I love putting these into custom frames or one-touches and not affecting value by removing seals/cases

Thank you for the 3 + month warning, I can save up some money!!!! A card with an actual picture of Ken Dryden would be lovely.

[RGM81]

The last time the Habs and Leafs met in the playoffs was during Dryden's tenure in Montreal, so there's definitely a part of a legacy there.
