Keep on moving

Completing base sets is a goal for many collectors, some do so by avidly seeking out and buying the missing cards, some like myself, do so in a more passive way (at least until you get down to the last few cards). Today's Santa Lot 20 brings a few cards from a couple sets at varying completion levels.

Highlights:

With the few 1990 O Pee Chee cards in this pull, just one new for me to add to the set attempt - now just shy of 80% with the Semenov rookie card. The new 1991 Pro Set Platinum cards move that set up to just under 50%...still a while to go there...

The rest
Keepers:

A good example of old versus new in these few cards - the simplicity of the Flames uniforms compared to the newer ones. The 'Canes uniform is closer, but either way, sometimes the simplicity of the uniforms look much better generally.

Traders:

The good - the 2008 Playoff Prestige cards are all new to me and bump the 100 true base card set to 37% completion. Also, since a number of my 1990 O Pee Chee cards were from packs I opened which had some gum damage, I will have to check if these are an upgrade in quality of the cards at least.
