Hey all! Been a while since I showed off any mail for the PC, so here we go!

First up, a sweet Neely Limited Logos from The Cup...



The gold version of this year's SP Game Used Authentic Fabrics, which finishes this Ray Bourque rainbow (sans shield...)



An amazing Krejci patch...




A handful of the nicer All-Time Greats PC pick-ups...










And finally, I called Panini customer service to check on a redemption card that I entered back in October. I started my call hoping to get some information about the card, a 2011-12 Certified Big Pulls Autograph of Mike Richards, but was told that the cards were lost somewhere, and not going to be returned, signed or remade. That was a bummer, so I talked to the rep for a bit about my choices for replacement. Being so low numbered (#/10) they were willing to give me about $100-150 in replacement value for it. I was OK with that, but the replacement cards that he offered weren't exactly lighting a fire for me, a Seguin/Schmidt dual auto and a Neely/Lindros dual auto, neither of which sold me. I asked about Ovechkin, and he said that he did have a higher value card of his, but that it was damaged. He described the damage, and explained that it wouldn't be something that he would send in for grading. I have no interest in grading a PC card anyway, so I decided to roll the dice and hope that it didn't have the kind of damage that would make it less than worthy for the PC, and here's how I did...




Slight damage on the edges, but not enough to bother me. No complaints here, I think Panini came through for me. Anyway, thanks for having a look, and I hope everyone's having fun collecting and enjoying the playoffs!

Amazing replacement gamble. That Ovechkin is awesome along with the Bruins cards. I think I need just the Bourque fight strap to finish the rainbow minus the Shield. Amazing cards Chris.
