Show & Tell Contest - Week 9 - Best 2022-23 SP Authentic Card

[RGM81]

Today we begin Week 9 of the 2024 Show & Tell Contest, sponsored by Market Movers by Sports Card Investor - you can see the weekly themes and get the "how to" in the main contest thread here: https://www.sportscardforum.com/thre...t-2024-Edition! If you didn't see the announcement, you'll all be thrilled to learn that our prizes are confirmed! The overall winner will have their choice of a hobby box of 2023-24 UD Series 1 OR a hobby box of 2023-24 UD Artifacts. 2nd Place will receive the other box. Thank you to our sponsor!

The first theme is: Best 2022-23 SP Authentic Card

SP Authentic is one of the staple releases of the hockey card calendar. With a lineage going back two decades, and featuring some of the most coveted rookie cards each year, it's no wonder that so many collectors love the product. With that in mind let's see your best card from last year's release. This can be anything from a Future Watch to a Sign of the Times to a multi-player card, and all things in between.

Posting guideline: please ensure that you have proof of ownership in your image. This can be as simple as having your SCF user name on a decoy card alongside your submission. I'll share an example below.

Contest is open to all SCF Members except for myself, fellow TM's, and anyone in the upper management. We can play, but we won't be eligible in the voting rounds.

Reminder about the points & RP available for participation:

How points will be awarded:

1pt for a valid entry

Voting:

4pts for first place
2pts for second place
If we get more than 10 entries, an additional point will be awarded to both 1st and 2nd place, and I'll award 1 point for 3rd place.

Each entry will earn you 25 Rewards Points. For those not familiar with SCF RP, it's a site currency that can be used to purchase cards from other members, the SCF Rewards Store, and get into special Group Breaks hosted by @doniceage

The winner of each week's contest will be awarded an additional 250RP.

My latest COMC order is slightly delayed for delivery but I’m just here for kicks anyways. So here’s a fun dual card.

Well 7 weeks pretty much tied to buying new wax, of which I do virtually none of anymore.

Nothing to submit this week. Good luck to all.

Nothing from me this week, haven't dabbled in SPA at all.

Looks like I'm going shopping this week after all....

I kind of liked the look of this card and the price was right so I picked it up a couple of weeks ago (yes, specifically for this week's entry, haha).

Walked into the card shop with the intent to buy a box of 23-24 OPC. It was an easy decision to change course when 21-22 and 22-23 SP Authentic were the same price. Pulled this out of the box of 22-23 SP Auth. For the 22-23 edition, I am two for two for patch autos. A much better name this time.

That's been my approach for a couple of these, and I'm just showing stuff for demonstrative purposes LOL With the price hikes in SPA in recent years I can't justify the risk/reward, but I still pick up the occasional single. My COMC order did show up yesterday and while it does have a couple 22-23 SPA cards in it, I'll reserve those for that little thread.

Happy hunting! :)
