I am most happy in 2016 to have finally picked up an Ed Giacomin RC:

Very nice stuff everyone. Love those McDavid's!

Here's just one of my coolest Enroth additins of 2016:

Always loved the concept of these cards. Game-Used letter + an autograph? Yes please! Was stoked to add one of these to the Enroth PC a few years after the initial release!


I can post a Top 10 later on too :)

Scans don't do these justice, but here are my top 3 adds from this year for the PC (and there was a lot to choose from):

At #3: From Leaf - Gretzky Ultimate Equipment /4



At #2 - A Gretzky 1/1 from 14/15 UD Premier

mmmm, yeah, those Oilers cards are pure filth. That Gretzky Inked Inscription 1/1 and McDavid Cup RPA. Wow!

[MattDMC]

My favorites acquired this year, all Geese and 1 Sproul.

[creasecollector]

Awesome Nyquists! And adding a 1/1 shield is always memorable. Nice Wings patches on those cards as well, those will never stop being epic. Nicely done, @MattDMC !

[canucksfan007]

Nice stuff everyone!


Got around to scanning / figuring out my Top 10 of the year ( could have all been Luongo =P ) but decided to spread the Top 10 throughout my PC pickups.



1st one is a notable mention. Not sure I wanted to include it as I technically picked up the card in 2015, but had it graded this year.



Ultimate Collection Rookie Auto Toews /99 BGS 9.5





Now onto my Top 10:




#10
- SP Game Used True Rookie Barkov /16 BGS 9.5
** This would have been higher had I decided to keep all my Barkov stuff. Decided to let one part of the collection go and it was him. Still have a couple nice ones kicking around though =P **





#9
- UD Buybacks Young Guns Auto Forsberg /9
** Another card not PC, but a product I loved opening. Grabbed this one off ebay **





#8
- The Cup Enshrinements Dual Auto Brodeur / Roy /35
** Its been a slow year for the Brodeur collection. Had a few decent pickups but this one is my favorite. Something about dual Roy / Brodeur autos **





#7
- National Treasures Rookie Auto Patch Galchenyuk /99 BGS 9.0
** From a trade here on SCF, always loved the NT Rookie design. Love "white" colored cards when it comes to an auto and the patch size / quality cant be beat! Hoping to add more 13/14 NT Rookies in 2017 **





#6
- Exquisite Veteran Signatures Bure /35
** What a beautiful set, great checklist too. Decided to wait till the Bure was live to grab this one. My only Bure auto in the collection right now, and 5 away from completing this set! **





#5
- Premier Collection Tribute Rookie Auto Patch Gold Fleury /5
** Always had a thing for Tribute this and that. I try and get all the Fleurys I can =P. LCS grabbed this one for me and I scooped it up quick. It was a very solid year for the Fleury collection and this one was by far my favorite **





#4
- The Cup Black Shield Luongo 1/1
** This one would have been higher, if not for my other Luongo AUTO shield already in the PC. 1 of 2 Luongo Shields I grabbed this year. Great design and love the look of the newer NHL Shield ( my other is from 04/05 ) **





#3
- Artifacts Dual Tag Auto Luongo 1/1
** 05/06 Artifacts IMO is easily the best year for Artifacts. The patch quality was always so good. Theres something about cards from 04/05 - 05/06 that just design wise draws me to them. **





#2
- Showcase Hot Prospects Rookie Auto Patch White Hot Mrazek /3
** A card I knew I must have when I saw it on ebay. I guess a few others thought the same thing because this one went for a ton. Good thing I have some extra paypal at the time to make a big stab at it. Ended up bidding less than $3.00 over my competitor. I actually have made contact with the other guy and we frequently talk about our Mrazek collections. He still needs one =P **





#1
- Dominion Had it Stamped Luongo 1/1
** Finally, a 1st for my Luongo PC. A Propert ..... I mean Had it Stamped! Was pumped when I landed this one, and looking back in 2016, I am still pumped! **




Thanks for the look!

Lets keep this thread going!
