Habs Inks Insanity
After seeing this last night, I may have to seriously re-consider my agenda regarding the Habs Inks set.
http://cgi.ebay.com/09-Canadiens-Cen...3A1|240%3A1318
$355 for Guy Lapointe.
Wow.
There is no way I can possibly compete with that.
I may have to settle for 60 and just forget about the SPs. There's no more of the product here so I don't have a hope of pulling one.
And there's another auction running that still has 3 days to go at $160.
Habs fan and collector! Current PC's: Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Lane Hutson...., and of course...

That seems rediculous for a lapointe auto. Whats the print run on that card?
I didnt find the masterpieces to be to outrageous the brown orr auto was only went for $200 on ebay. Ive been collecting 06/07 parkhurst for a couple years now and those are much tougher I haven't seen alot of the cards that aren't even sp.

They haven't stated the run (naturally) but the mere mention of SP in this set has been enough to incite a frenzy.

They don't have anymore of the Centennial set in the city Richard?
Local shop down here still has tins, and is supposedly getting another shipment in not too long from now.

My local WalMart is flooded with retail tins of Centennial, but at $34+tax per tin! I might try one some day to take a shot at pulling an auto, but for a 10-pack blaster it's pricey.

If I ever have amazing luck (which never happens) and pull one, I will immediately think of you. lol

Ouch. I know that Guy Lapointe was a good (even great) defenceman in his day..... but $355 ?? That's insane. SP or not.

There's never a time limit to complete sets. I always forget that. I went buckwild collecting Schenn...but the cards that I missed will always pop up again. Probably at a lower price too, seeing as how the initial craze would most likely be over by that time.

That's actually a decent price. Zellers had them for $40. And it is a situation in which you will get your money back - the banners sell for 15-20 on eBay, and you can generally get $3 per SP (more for Rocket, Dryden, Roy) - even if you don't get an auto.
