August PC Show & Tell - Carey, Weber, and Pacioretty Highlight a Fun Month!

[RGM81]

Hmm it's almost like I collect the three core players on the Habs! hahaha

Let's go!

We shall commence with Brendan Gallagher - I picked up two items of him last month, one a card and one a Club 1909 Reward!

2013-14 Panini Totally Certified Rookie Slideshow #24 Brendan Gallagher




Next up is the Captain, with two cards from 14-15 Premier...both featuring 2011 Winter Classic game patches!

2014-15 Upper Deck Premier #126 Max Pacioretty


2014-15 Upper Deck Premier 2002-03 Tribute #SRVMP Max Pacioretty


Lots of Shea Weber cards incoming - I've got a new COMC order probably coming in this month, there's also three or four pretty sweet cards from eBay. But for now, there's these:

2016-17 Fleer Showcase White Hot #14 Shea Weber


2016-17 Fleer Showcase Metal Universe Precious Metal Gems Red #MU6 Shea Weber


2016-17 Fleer Showcase Metal Universe Precious Metal Gems Purple #MU6 Shea Weber


Does anyone have the Blue PMG? It's the last one I need to complete the Rainbow!

And finally....the goalie. It was his 30th birthday last month, so I would have been remiss to not get cards. Haha

And now a little bonus content that has nothing to do with hockey cards.

On August 14th I made the trek to Vancouver to see my 10th(!) Metallica concert. If there's one thing in life I love as much as the Habs, it's Metallica. The music gets me pumped up every time I hear it. They're a true force on stage. Anyone else that has seen them can verify this. Here's a couple photos from the rail...and then my cool take-home collectible.





These beauties are going for a ton on eBay right now...fortunately, I've picked up a few over the years and the many shows, and I was able to trade with someone at the show.



That's all for August!

Awesome month Richard! Glad you were able to snag those Habs pieces, especially the WC patches. Always nice when you can match the material from a specific game. Great Price stuff as well. The Signature Swatches will never get old!

Awesome guitar pick too! And curious, but how high can rare picks usually go for?

some very nice Habs pick ups, love those Weber parallels

[RGM81]

@creasecollector So far, average sales for the Vancouver show picks have been around $80CAD. I would imagine it's pretty similar for other shows on the tour. I don't remember them being so high in previous years/shows I've seen, but that's likely because they were arena shows so smaller crowds and they do in-the-round so they throw out a ton of picks at the end of the night. Also, since I usually come away with a pretty epic haul...



I don't often spend much time scouring eBay for anything I may have missed. LOL

[creasecollector]

Those picks are sweet! What a collection. And I think I'm going to change my name to Snake Pit.... Sounds tough.

Some very nice additions there Richard! And with the dog days of summer coming to an end, the trading is bound to pick up the pace soon :)

Oh definitely! Once the 17-18 products start to roll and we get to see UD Black and The Cup, it's gonna be fun times ahead for sure. Will probably be "racking" up the deals. Haha
