Don't really consider this an Artifact...

Highlight:

I have talked before about Artifact sets and how much I generally enjoy them. This is from one of the designs that just doesn't do much for me and honestly feels outside the normal realm of what I think of as Artifacts sets. I am happy to get this as it is a new for me card, but yeah, not one of my favourites.

Lowlights:

Pesky gum stains. Sheldon is known for his advocacy against abuse such as what he suffered through the hands of Graham James. His hockey career didn't last long - whether the abuse played into that at all would be anyone's guess though I would never try to walk in someone else's shoes. A bad situation that Sheldon has worked hard to ensure others would not have to suffer through.

The rest
Keepers:

A decent enough bunch today. Glad to find one of the last remaining needs for 2007-08 Upper Deck Series 2 if nothing else.

Traders:


Yeah - one keeper from the set and plenty more dupes for 2007-08 Upper Deck Series 2.

  2. What year is that Artifacts card from; I've never seen anything using that design before.
