April Show & Tell Extravaganza -- Birthday Fun and a Banner Too Large for SCF Signatures

[RGM81]

April turned out to be a lot of fun! Sure the Habs blew it in the first round of the playoffs and now everybody's ready to trade everybody from Galchenyuk to Price. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the good times, and good cards!

The Radulove continues with more goodies...

This was an absolute steal - 2006-07 Ultimate Collection #117 Alexander Radulov


And something with a more distinct Habs flavour to it - 2016-17 Upper Deck Clear Cut #353 Alexander Radulov


The other new guy, Shea Weber, also had a cool arrival:

Completing the 3-card rainbow - 2016-17 Parkhurst Black #176 Shea Weber



Hobby generosity is a wonderful thing. This card showed up completely out of the blue from a fellow in San Diego. I'll have to find something cool to send back to him as a thank you.
I now have five copies of this particular card, but this one is the nicest swatch of them all!
2015-16 Anthology Full Coverage Prime #23 Josh Gorges


One of the few Habs to actually make a strong showing in the playoffs was Brendan Gallagher. Got this one for a great price - 2013-14 Upper Deck Rookie Materials Patch #RMBG Brendan Gallagher


Sadly, the captain did not but this was a nice pickup from the LCS on trade night: 2016-17 Exquisite Collection Material Signatures #EMSMP Max Pacioretty


And as some of you may know, I'm an April birthday. People seemed to be aware of this; here are some Carey Price acquisitions!

This one courtesy of the LCS, Players Choice Sports - 2016-17 SPX Red Material #24 Carey Price


A trade night deal: 2016-17 Fleer Showcase EX-2017 #10 Carey Price


And this one from a good friend: 2016-17 Fleer Showcase EX-2017 Essential Credentials Future #10 Carey Price /33


And the greatest one of all, courtesy of the lovely Mrs. RGM81...the 12" Imports Dragon figure!


Club 1909 had a really cool couple of arrivals for me!

Now, there is a joke to be made here on account of Pacioretty's lack of offence in the playoffs. It's because they obviously cut up his stick for cards...


Following up on the greatness of March's Show & Tell effort, the coolest possible 1/1 item ever conceived arrived at my doorstep on April 5th. This thing is enormous--cats for scale just to give you an idea of how large the banner is.
Think I can send some to UD for my own Banner Year cards?
