Condition could be a bit better, but given it's Jordan and serial numbered, that is a small complaint. This is the first Spectaculars card to come out of the 2003-04 SP Authentic set. Although this is numbered as part of the base set, I wouldn't consider it base given the serial number. I get the design using the same picture front and back, but a different one for the background on the back would have been just as nice.

Leaf content...and parallel content! He was definitely a fan favourite for a number of years in Toronto, just as the card states.

A nice insert, and a first from this insert set. Total O would have been a good insert set name for a set completely about Ovechkin though - too bad it wasn't used in such a way.

Here we start to get really nice and interesting. I ave lots of love for the 2005 Upper Deck Classics base set, but here we have one of the insert cards regarding historic moments. As much as I dislike the moment (because it was the no hitter against the Jays), the accomplishment is simply amazing. Serial number here is great to.

More of what I just said for this one too. Excellent card and much lower serial number than tha above. Man....such a nice and young looking Ryan....and a really nice card...

Some awesome old O Pee CHee - well, at least into the 70s which is a nice sight. Billy Smith is pretty beat up, but I am a lot more forgiving on condition for early 80s are prior cards. I appreciate the old team cards done with the multiple pictures - here it shows how much Bob Nevin meant for the team, and gave them a chance to use a couple pictures.
Have to also mention the fact I got two net Brett Hulls here - and neither with him in a Blues uniform...so unfortunate.

The Gretzky is too rough to keep, but otherwise, nice to get the couple baseball dupes - feelings on steroids use or not...still solid names of the game from the late 80s and early 90s.
An excellent day today - only wish it can last tomorrow!
