E-Packing 2/14s

 While it is mainly for hockey additions, I was able to exploit Goodwin Champions releases to add some content to the other portions of my collection.

Such as my first autograph of Olympian Caroline Marks! This is the third autograph of someone who has a gold medal in their possession, joining Kara Lawson and Milan Hejduk. That company also means she's the first one with an individual medal. On-card auto as well! Although C Mark S is an odd layout for the auto, at least what is there is legible.
Here's 4 more of her, and that pushes her into a tie for second place among the miscellaneous portion of the collection with a whopping 6 cards, trailing Danai Gurira's 20. At least the lenticular one proves UD had access to other photos. 

This Clear Cut Moreno addition was actually part of my previous shipment. I'm guessing it got stuck to something else in the box and I completely forgot to post it. Oops! But acetate greatness really needs to be shown off.

Basketball content could also be found in Goodwin Champions. Despite having not yet finished his time in the NCAA, Ian Jackson is now at 4 cards in the collection. And I just took advantage of a Black Friday deal at COMC to add an auto of his. If he end up in a Topps/Bowman release, he may accomplish the rarity of having cards from 3 of the big companies even before playing in the NBA.
Lane Hutson is easily the biggest name that has debuted in the collection over the past year. He's all over 24-25 e-pack stuff, and here's a couple I picked at the time, although I did need COMC to acquire the time he got his other Rookie of the Month nod in March.
These I picked up cheaply on COMC because of e-pack dumping. The Ooh La La is a speckle parallel, and I didn't even add the regular one until earlier this week. Procrastination!
As is seemingly always the case, it is Nikolaj Ehlers winning the volume battle. 
I was hoping that Urban Podrekar would get drafted into the NHL, just so I could add more cards of the best name in the collection. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. I'll probably chase down any cards of the Euro leagues, though.
True the name, it does look like the best is yet to come for Colby Barlow. He's a first round pick, he's got to get at least a shot at  the NHL, right?

I guess I could note that the 2021 Sens #1 pick has not only not played in a single NHL but also still hasn't landed a single card in any set. Ouch.
Start with an auto that is on the upper end of modern legibility- end with Kirk Van Houten's drawing of dignity. Sounds about right.

I still have a couple more posts worth of 2/14 stuff in my COMC to-be-posted box to show off. Maybe I'll get to it before the next one comes in.

But there you have it!
