Snagged a hard to find for me........
Other pickups first: ( I apologize for the HUGE pics)
Halak Victory RC
Chad Johnson Ultimate RC
and now the reason for the title. I've been looking for this card for a while! Glad to snag it from a willing trade partner. Not a huge card but it's another one off the list.

Nice Pickup, It's always great to get a hard to find off your want list.

Congrats! I have been looking for a Halak BAP RC... it's only worth $30, but it's the hardest Halak card to find other than 1/1's! It's great to see that you have landed something from the difficult list!

RE: Snagged a hard to find for me........
Thanks guys! This card has been haunting me, I finally found a random website from a collector that collects odds and ends and he had it. I probably went overboard to get it but damn if I wasn't going to let it slip away.
The team issues are always hard because unless you were actually at the game the gave them out or if they were mass produced, they are almost non existent. Especially the half way decent players. Plus they had to make it through the "kids and their cards" mode (you know ninja stars, in the bicycle spokes, etc.) and still be in good shape. This Richter is a perforated card as well. I think I lucked out.
Randi, hang in there bud! That Halak will pop up when you least expect it. Hopefully whoever has it for you doesn't try to get you too give much for it. Unless you are willing
