Shocked post: A "WOW"...a "Steal"...and a "Cyclone" you have to see!
What came in the mail today, it is worth this "Shocked" post.
First my "W T F" part (didn't know this term was a trademark, as my subject line states). As many of you know, I love the vintage game-used cards. Just the history of knowing some of the memorabilia is 60-100 years old is very cool to me. So I picked up this sweet Morenz glove card off eBay. For one, he was a great old-time player. And two, the glove piece is totally sick! But what gives this the "W T F" part is how it was delivered. A first for me...a slabbed card mailed from another country in a plain white legal sized envelope. Really? Who does that these days? But what amazed me, it that the card survived without getting damaged at all! I cannot believe it still!
The card...
And the envelope it came in (addresses hidden to protect the guilty....and me).
On to the "Steal" part. I was searching eBay and happened upon a this Rocket Richard/Jonathan Cheechoo card. It was listed a few times for higher prices, but then finally as $20 BUY IT NOW. How I came across it, still amazes me. ??? It didn't help that it was listed as: IN THE GAME --USED TROPHY WINNERS ROOKET RICARD QUAD JERSEY by a seller with a (5) feedback rating. I was skeptical as all get out, but decided "Hey, it's only $20....not too much to lose if it really isn't legit." So I took a chance and did the BUY IT NOW. And this is the card I received:
Yes, the Gold 1/1 version with multi-color Richard and Cheechoo jerseys! The gamble paid off...that was a real "STEAL" in my book. Best I've had in a long time!

Now on to the "Cyclone" part. You probably all know by now what this means. Yes, I was able to acquire another nice Cyclone Taylor card for my vintage collection. And a great skate piece with stitching! Nice!

Three pretty awesome cards. Lucky there was no crack in the slab on the first one though.
Thanks for the share!
