Picked up a Topps Gretzky with a 1980s signature. Being in pen, it kind of gets lost against the darker parts of the card but happy to have it.

Are you going to get it graded/authenticated? |

Just some random pick ups over the last couple/few months.
|
Bought one box of the 22-23 Parkhurst Champions and pulled this redemption.What surprised
me was just how fast Upper Deck go me the card. Less than 10 days (7 business days). So good for Upper Deck. Thank you. Very nice card,3 colour patch plus an auto. So not really a pick up. Thanks. https://i.imgur.com/Dvg6oU1.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1yTMG8H.jpg https://i.imgur.com/5d4VnT2.jpg |
OK, I picked up these couple pictures of Wayne Gretzky and Bobby Orr.I have no idea where or how
they were obtained back in the day. So any help there would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Wayne Gretzky Measure 8-1/8 inches X 10-1/2 inches https://i.imgur.com/kUhrzhI.jpg Bobby Orr measures 10-7/8 inches X 16-1/4 inches https://i.imgur.com/0KCYBvS.jpg |
1957 Parkhurst HOF Jean Beliveau arrived today from the great white north, leaving me two cards shy of the complete set Henri and Maurice Richard left to go!

So this is more of a project than a pick up that I have been working on for the last couple months.
I recently purchased a good amount of the 1972 Team Canada autographs. Some were from the set released by the Hudson Bay company signed in gold sharpie. But others were signed in blue sharpie and I really liked the blue on the 1991 Future Trend cards. These were the same cards that if you were lucky back in 1991 you could pull one of the Team Canada autos from the packs.These autos are very scarce and to this day remains the only packed pull auto of Ken Dryden. Which is next to impossible to find and when you do they cost a lot of money to obtain. So I knew these packed pull autos with that swirl on the surface were not something I wanted to undertake So I went with the blur autos and since I had a very nice set of the 1972 O-Pee-Chee Team Canada. I figured why not just collect the autos of the 28 players in this OPC set. Take notice that the Dryden is a cut auto. I did buy a Dryden PSA.DNA Dryden auto but I decided that I would sooner keep that auto and go with this much cheaper version.It is an auto from one of his book signings. But it still looks very nice. And as you can tell I would really like to pick up a Bobby Clarke and a Gary Bergman in blue ink so it would look uniform all the way through So if anyone has either of these two players signed in blue ink on the 1991 Future Trend card then PLMK.I see a few Clarke autos on eBay but they are in the USA and people want like $25.00 for postage.When they could just place in an envelope and send it for under $2.00.But I will eventually find them. So that is the back story so on with what they look like.

Imo, they are an underrated card/collectable. I grabbed this Orr sometime ago and found out through a member here finding Orr or any of the others in 10's is rather difficult/rare. Likely due to their size/shape, they aren't as desirable as regular cards and why they've never really taken off? But, then again, maybe some out there do have complete graded/raw sets? |

I really like oddball cards like Dad’s Cookies. I have to imagine the print run was much more limited than the regular OPC/Topps sets but I could be wrong.

absolutely a lot smaller run then either of the two major releases. I just purchased over 150 of the 1928-1934 LaPresse photos and with them only being distributed in the province of Quebec you can imagine how few are out there. And now that are 90+ years old. They are really quite scarce. |
