looking forward to the day you post the LAST card and you saying "Completed!"
congrats on another nice pickup Troy!
Me too buddy, but that day may never come, at least not in the very near future. There are way too many very scarce autos in this set, and that means big bucks if, and when they show up on ebay, and that is nearly never. The Mario Lemieux is so scarce it sells for over a thousand bucks. The Jean Beliveau isn't far behind, and I've actually never seen one. Then there`s the Scotty Bowman, Rod Gilbert, Johnny Bucyk, Mike Bossy, Bobby Hull, Phil Esposito, Patrick Roy, Denis Savard, Bobby Orr, and Ray Bourque. Some of those sell in the hundreds, or couple, or three hundreds, and some I've never even seen yet. Then there are some lesser ones I'm not sure about, that I've never seen before, like Garry Unger, Marc Tardiff, Walt Tkaczuk, Milt Smidt, Terry O'Reilly, Bill Gadsby, Dino Ciccarelli, Dale Hunter, Joey Kocur, and a couple others. Also, there are guys like Doug Gilmour who is not listed as a short print, but sells at $125+ when one actually surfaces.
I'm currently at 99/146, which is remarkable since I started this not so very long ago, with not so much money. I have several incoming this week, so stay tuned for posts of Rejean Houle (Montreal), Mike Keenan (Coach), Guy Lafleur (Montreal), Reggie Leach (Philadelphia), Marty McSorely (Los Angeles), Scott Stevens (New Jersey), Frank Udvari (Referee), and I got another copy of Larry Robinson incoming (Montreal). As you may have heard the last copy I bought had all 4 corners dinged.
FYI: Not sure how rare Stevens, Leach, or McSorely are, but these are the first copies I've ever seen of these guys. That's what makes this the greatest set ever made, IMO. Some of these are so scarce, nobody has any idea how little amounts of each of them there actually are? :ref:
