2010-11 Upper Deck Series One Pack Break - The Cards

As detailed in my previous post, here are scans of some of the cards from the packs bought earlier today.

BASE CARDS

CHECKLISTS

I really like what they did with the checklists featuring three key players from each of the teams who played for the cup last season.

INSERTS

YOUNG GUNS

All in all, I like the look of the cards a whole lot more now that I have seen them in person.  The scans put out by UD a few months ago just did not do them any justice at all.

2010-11 Upper Deck Series One Pack Break

Stopped by my LCS early today while out and was greeted by two fresh boxes of 2010-11 Upper Deck Series One!  I did not have a ton of cash on hand, but was able to land a few packs (ok 12 packs which was about $40).

Two Young Guns, a Hockey Heroes insert card (Steve Yzerman), jersey card (Nick Backstrom - Caps), and some nice base cards.

I will scan a few of the cards pulled shortly.

Recent Additions to the Collection!

Here are some recent additions to my collection which I though were worth sharing...

One of the most beautiful patch cards I have ever seen...the white part of the Gilmour patch is acually more of a dull yellow...so nice!

I am not much of a football card collector, but these two were included in a large lot I picked up (the majority of which I flipped).  These two caught my attention and I just could not bear to part with them...

In person Biron, Miller and Hasek autos sent to me from a guy as a "bonus" to a lot of cards I won...not a bad bonus.

Carey Price 2010-11 Certified Game Used card pulled from a pack I purchased am my LCS the other day.  It is numbered 19/25!



Won this for a couple of bucks on eBay...I am a die-hard Washington Capitals Fan, and it was a great chance to pick up a nice on-card auto of one of the team's young d-men....



Pulled from a blaster box of 2010-11 Artifacts bought the other day at my local Target...

Pulled from a 2009-10 Upper Deck Series One pack at my LCS...not a bad pull eh???

Weeks have gone bye-bye...

and nothing new on this lame ass blog???  Why???  Lets see:

1. Sick kids...all three
2. Sick me...
3. Sick wife...
4. Me selling WAY TOO many cards on eBay which then takes up way too much of my time sending out...
5. Sick me...still...

Oh yeah, and trying to spend time to find a job in this SHIT market...

All of this equals SQUAT time for blogging...

More to follow...in another few weeks...I hope...

LETS GET IT ON!!!

Today is almost equal to a national holiday in my household and across Canada...

Its opening day for the 2010-11 National Hockey League season...

The boys are back for another season of board bashing, stick slashing, puck smashing fun...

THANK GOD!!  There is now something to watch on TV (or the internet) just about every night of the week...

My Faithful Companion

Where I go, my best buddy follows...always close by and anxious to spend a little time with me...Princey aka Moose aka Shadow...in this case hanging out under the sorting table waiting for my next move...

My Tiny Piece of Man-dom...

I have spent countless hours of my day sitting at my "sorting" table going through cards, preparing cards for posting on eBay or to send out to buyers, or just vegging watching something on my wopping 13 inch color TV...

Its not a lot, but its my little home away from home which is located in my home...
