Highlights:
A couple inserts in this grab - one for basketball from the same subset as the last Bill Russell card. Nice little card, but not one I plan to keep. The other insert is a retro-McDonalds card with Brett Hull as a Flame. I know he was there briefly in Calgary, but I find it so unusual to see him in anything but a Blues uniform (sorry - Dallas didn't cut it either). Brett was a great player during a time when there were a number of great players, so I think he sometimes was a bit overshadowed in the league as a whole, if that is possible for an HOF talent.
Lowlights:
More of the same, redemptions and gum diseased cards....I gathered there would be some of these at a glance, hopefully it can keep under 2-3% of all the cars, but only time will tell.
The Rest
Keepers:
Continue to get cards fro SP Authentic and Ice, put new sets introduced from the lot with 2008-09 Victory and 2009-10 O Pee Chee. Both, "cheaper" sets, but their simplicity can be nice. Price points aren't always reflective of the actually quality "look" of the cards.
Traders:
In updating the collection, Topps 2007-08 basketball is only 135 cards to the base set, so I could see this being one I might get a good chunk of from this purchase. That said, still not keeping any of it!
Here is the summary again until next time!
