111/140 - 29 needed.

Oct 23/2013- Success, mail , the Bump , etc

First off.  Today is the anniversary of the Bump.  The Springhill mining disaster occurred 55 years ago today. So dust off the U2 records and cassettes and listen to their song about the event.

I have a full set of 2001-02 Topps Stadium Club hockey Master Photos.  I acquired the last one needed and it arrived today.  Card number 40 , Teemu Selanne was very elusive but I did finally get it.

So what next??

I have more than 100 of the award winners.

Plus the deal that brought me the Selanne netted numerous additional Master Photos.  I currently have 70/140 towards a second set plus some trips and quads.

Other mail today:

Saku Koivu - Gallery gold from Parallel Dave

Markus Naslund- Award Winner from COMC.  The ship out of Canada and the US depending on where the cards are warehoused.  The balance of the order will arrive later.

Status:
Oct 23/2013
MP: 140/140- complete
MP2: 70 /140
AW: 99/140 
GG: 20/40 + ( 1 in transit)

COMC, toploader and penny sleeves

COMC:

I found a new online card selling site.  It is called Check out My Cards, Comics and Collectables.  It is alternative for collectors and the high shipping fees.  Sellers physically send all of their for sale items to COMC- they scan, insure and do some background, the seller prices and then they are sold.
The benefit of all the sellers have the cards in one location is that they all get shipped together so you can save big on shipping as opposed to being $3ed to death.  Top loaders are an option for each card at $0.20 / card.  The seller pays fees to COMC.

I was able to pick up a few more 01/02 stadium clubs there and they have a few more listed.


This is what I bought:

2001-02 Stadium Club Gallery Gold #G26 -            Zigmund Palffy #32/50
2001-02 Stadium Club Master Photos #133 -         Ivan Ciernik #12/100
2001-02 Stadium Club Master Photos #130 - Scott Nichol #31/100 
2001-02 Stadium Club Award Winners #9 -    Peter Bondra #35/100
2001-02 Stadium Club Master Photos #134 -         Scott Clemmensen #39/100
2001-02 Stadium Club Master Photos #35 -   Alexei Kovalev #15/100
2001-02 Stadium Club Award Winners #49 -        Markus Naslund #20/100
2001-02 Stadium Club Award Winners #139 -      Pavel Datsyuk #100/100



Several Needs and a few good priced extras,  There was a Mario Award Winner and both AW and MP for shanahan and a few others including an Amonte GG. I am Pleased with the Datsyuk - Detroit star players are hard to get.

Supplies:

I picked up some top loaders and penny sleeves.  These things are not cheap.  So the are a cost that sellers have that people sometimes do not recognize.

After an expensive card collecting weekend now I'll watch the mail for the next few weeks.

I bought a one month Beckett OPG (online price guide) subscription so if you need something looked up i can do so.  The Sports Card Forum has a good trading/inventory data base system set up for people looking for a place to organize their collections.
