Biggest Achievement of My Collecting Life! Complete Print Run - Prime Colors Numbers
It took me four years to put this together. I had been sitting on five out of six for about a year and a half now. So when the last piece of the puzzle appeared on eBay late last month, well, I knew what I had to do. Negotiations on a BIN/OBO for a limited card can be tricky--he wanted some pretty top coin for it, even though it's Josh Gorges and it's 2017 and it's been three years since he was traded. I couldn't very well tip my hand and say "I have the other five, really need this one" but I was able to get him down to a tolerable level in the end. And really, when you've come all this way, you didn't come all this way just to come all this way!
Ladies and gents, I give you....

That's amazing! So many ways for one (or more) not to end up in your hands.... so to track down all 6, and acquire them, incredible!
I have yet to be able to do the equivalent in my PC.

That is awesome! Like said above, crazy that you managed to track them all down. Any one of them could've still been unopened, in the private collection of someone or destroyed, but nope, there they all are!

Very nice Richard! Congrats on being able to track down not 1, not 2, not 3, but all 6 of them!
I can only imagine your reaction when you saw the last piece of the puzzle missing! Must have been quite the moment.
Very nice moment in your collecting career :) They look great together !Jhonas Enroth Card Collector & Host of the Hidden Content

Wow!
The want list at this link features what I need of Gretzky, Roy, Ottawa Senators, and Miscellaneous sets. I also have a CFL want list on my page and if you have nothing from it I will consider other traders of current Ottawa Senators,Guy Lafleur, + trade bait.

An expletive came out for sure and then it was like, "OK this BIN price is way too high!" Thankfully I was able to get it down to a reasonable-ish level (also thanks to @the_chief - enjoy that Galchenyuk!) and then it was just waiting, waiting, waiting for it to arrive. Sadly, it didn't make it on Friday so I couldn't enter the whole she-bang into the "Best Card With a Story" S&T contest. Ah well.
Thanks buddy!
