The last of the Leaf cards from Oren are the "hits" as it were, starting with some serial numbered gems....and I am a sucker for serial numbering...
From look - I appreciate the shine of Tavares, but the Artifacts Sundin card just screams Leafs to me. Either way, great Leaf names and nice design. I like the front numbering on cards, though the Antropov does make it harder to read when they don't have a specific clean spot for the serial number to be inprinted.
When I think of a set called "Game Used" I expect meorabilia, but I think this may be the first such Leaf card I do have from such sets. Bernier was a solid netminder for the team, and the blue swatch is decent to go with the nice pose and fine enough front design. Solid card overall.
It might be weak as far as the signature itself - looks more like marking my "X" than a full signature, but it's solid and great to me! Bibeau broke through to finally play a couple games for the Leafs in 2015-17, but that was about it for the NHL experience.
I am glad I was able to send Oren 1,000+ cards in this trade as it kind of makes up for feeling I never send enough for the quality cards he sends back. I don't get nearly the cool stuff so make up for it a bit in quantity!
Tomorrow - on to the baseball!
