One Card Only: Certified

Sure, I can't imagine too many people trying to profit by selling a Larry Seiple autograph, but at least this one was certified. And it matches up as well, as I add an unexpected autograph to the 2/14 collection. Although he's listed as TE here, he was also a punter for the Dolphins, and picked up a pair of Super Bowl rings with them in the 70s. He's the only 2/14 guy with two.

And there you have it!

2018 Adventures in Repacks - Part 39.2 - 1 80 for $4

2017 UD - Scott Wilson - And we're off!
2010 SPA - Sam Gagner
2016 UD - Derek Stepan

1991 Pro Set - Rick Tocchet - There's a mullet worthy of an early 90's hockey card.
1993 Premier - Keith Tkachuk

1991 Stad. Club - Paul MacDermid - Have you ever felt this alone?
1990 Score - Claude Loiselle
1991 Topps - Pat Verbeek

1992 Topps - Jim Thomson - Sens content! I think this card, and its gold parallel, were Jim's only NHL cards.
1990 Score - Troy Mallette

1999 Topps - Brad Bombardir - Bombardir is the coolest name in the repack.
1999 BAP - John Grahame
1991 UD - Claude Boivin
1995 UD - Dave Ellett

1994 SP - Ed Jovanovski - Jovocop hot pack!

1994 UD - Sergei Krivokrasov
1993 Donruss - Stephane Matteau

1993 Premier Gold - Craig MacTavish - The last helmetless player in parallel form.

1993 UD - John Cullen - A nicely intense faceoff photo. This might be my favourite of the photos among this group of 80.
1991 Pro Set - Robert Kron
1995 Pinnacle - Alexei Zhitnik

1993 Premier - Petr Svoboda - Some sort of damage to it, as the cards in this tended to stick to each other, but this is a new 2/14 card!
1995 Donruss - Chris Pronger
1993 Premier - Joe Juneau
2008 BTP - Nolan Schaefer
2015 UD - John Tavares

2010 Victory - Keith Yandle - Thus ends the first half.

2016 UD - Brian Gionta
2016 UD - Ron Hainsey
1991 Stad. Club - Nick Kypreos
1993 Premier - Ed Olczyk

1994 UD - Brent Gretzky - While a Gretzky always makes a repack worthwhile, this isn't really what I meant.
1991 Stad. Club - Doug Smail
1990 Pro Set - Brendan Shanahan

1991 UD - Tim Cheveldae - The other candidate for best photograph in the repack.

1990 Score - Troy Mallette - A dupe from the first half. I might as well show one of them!

1997 Score - Lonny Bohonos - Bohonos was a fun name to say out loud.
1999 UD - John Grahame
1997 BAP - Todd Harvey
1994 UD - Andrei Lomakin

1991 Pro Set - Dan Quinn
1992 Score - Kevin Hatcher
1992 UD - Michal Cerny

1990 Score - Walt Poddubny - A 2/14 dupe.

1994 Pinnacle - Alexandre Daigle - This might have been a decent pull in 1994. Now it is repack fodder.

1990 UD - Tom Kurvers

1993 Premier Gold - Mark Tinordi - Both sides contained a gold parallel.
1993 UD - Randy Gilhen
1991 Pro Set - Christian Ruuttu

1995 Donruss - Chris Pronger

1995 Pinnacle - Richard Smehlik
1993 Premier - Trent Klatt
2015 UD - Joel Ward
2017 Leafs Centennial - Tomas Kaberle

2010 UD - Jeff Deslauriers - And the simple oil-drop mask ends this repack.

And there you have it. I didn't count the keepers one-by-one, but it probably evened out between the two repack posts, considering I didn't scan all of the keepers. I guess I'll have to buy some more and do more posts like this.

2018 Adventures in Repacks - Part 39.1 - 4 15s for $4

As the 2018 repack fest draws to a close, I'll make another trip to the Dollarama. For comparison in these two post, I'm picking up 4 $1 hangers with 15 cards each, then a single $4 hanger with 80 cards total. Let's compare the two!

2017 UD - Pekka Rinne - What an amazing photo to start this one.
1990 Bowman - Ron Francis

1993 Donruss - Alexei Yashin - This would have been a good pull at the time. I could probably still trade it to Mike Milbury and get a RPA from The Cup.
1998 UD - Sergei Krivokrasov

1999 UD - Robert Esche - An easy mask binder choice. Even better, this is his mask from juniors, featuring the Plymouth Whalers.
1991 Topps - Theo Fleury
2002 Parkhurst - Yanic Perreault

1999 Ultimate Victory - Jamie Heward - Might be my first Ultimate Victory I've ever pulled in one of these.

1992 Stad. Club - Brad Shaw - Two Sens cards in the repack!
1990 Score - Alan Kerr

1994 Score - Brad May - The floating orbs make this scramble by the crease look even more chaotic.
1992 Parkhurst - Steve Konowalchuk
1990 Premier - Leaurie Boschman

1992 7IS - Bob MacIsaac - Still my favourite OHL jersey.
2015 Portfolio - Tyler Johnson

2017 UD - Antoine Roussel - Visible card on pack
1992 7IS - Mike Cote
1991 Score - Sergei Kharin
1992 Topps - Clint Malarchuk

1994 Score - Rod Brind'amour - I know this design is hideous, but this is perfectly framed with the flying puck just below the logo. Check out that focus.
1991 Score - Bob Essensa
2005 SPA - Keith Tkachuk

2008 UD - Rod Brind'amour - Brind'amour hot (re)pack!
1990 Bowman - Neil Wilkinson
1991 Pro Set - Chris Dahlquist
1992 UD - Mikael Nylander

1994 Parkhurst - Mike Ricci - Classic blue.
1990 OPC - Daniel Shank

2011 BTP - Cesare Miniago - Boo! Not a picture of him with his scary early 70s mask where he looked like a Mario Bros. character.

2016 Overtime - Evander Kane - I was not expecting one of these (Overtime is a bonus set for UD distributors) to be the visible card.
1990 Bowman - Sergio Momesso
1993 Score - Glenn Healy
1992 UD - Darryl Sydor

1994 Pinnacle - Darrin Madeley - Hey! Another Sens card!
1993 Pinnacle - Sergei Makarov
2002 Rookie Update - Dany Heatley

2005 UD - Petr Nedved - An interesting photo.
1991 Score - Curt Giles
1995 UD - David Emma
1990 Topps - Rick Tocchet
1991 UD - Peter Ing

1991 OPC - Shayne Corson - We don't have enough cards with hockey players blowing bubbles.

1992 7IS - Ilpo Kauhanen - Why wouldn't I scan a guy named Ilpo's card?
2016 Artifacts - Jake Allen

2017 UD - Patrice Bergeron - 3 out of 4 for visible cards out of '17.
1998 Leaf - Derian Hatcher
1990 Score - Tom Fergus
1997 Choice - Marty McInnis

1997 Revolution - Patrick Marleau - This. is. a. loud. card.
1997 Certified - Jeff O'Neill

1992 7IS - Bernie John - Interestingly, his earlier 7IS has his name as John Bernie. The vitals match, I think this later one is the correct one, since Bernie John is his hockeydb entry.

2007 ITG Going for the Gold - Leland Irving - A patriotic mask binder card.
2000 ITG Sig Series - JP Dumont

1990 OPC - Ilkka Sinisalo - Why wouldn't I scan a guy named Ilkka's card?
1992 Premier - Dmitri Kvartalnov
1989 OPC - Kevin Hatcher
1991 OPC - Rick Tocchet
1992 UD - Dominek Hasek

2011 BTP - Ed Giacomin - Fin.

That was fun, and not too costly. Can I get the same level enjoyment with 20 more cards, but less (re)pack busting next time?

Redeemed!

Finally, the complete grouping of redemptions that were mailed in October, as per tracking numbers, have shown up.

Up first, the only non-hockey card, and the only one I know I won't be keeping.

Since this is bound for a Kings fan in Saskatchewan.

And, even better, it is a coveted ebay 1-of-1!

This was one of the Wild Card redemptions for a team that had more than one rookie debut in the early part of the season. The Carolina Hurricanes were apparently one of those teams last season.

That was because this was the card, since the regular 'canes spot was occupied by Haydn Fleury. Janne has been back and forth between the AHL Charlotte Checkers and Carolina, with more time with the former than the latter. Still, he is only 20.

From my second case break of 13-14 Anthology.

Here's the card.

Also from the exact same case break, in the exact same box...

there's my second on-card autograph to go along with a three colour swatch. While Hampus is the better player of the two, I still have to give the nod to Brock Nelson for the better card on the basis of the better signature.

And there you have it. Of course, Panini being Panini, all of their cards were sent out separately. Since why not?
