Unleashing the Beast: Last Three+ Months of Irbe Mail (30+ Scans!) - irbefan4life - 06-19-2012

Now that I got one of the last pieces that I am waiting on in the mail literally minutes ago, I figured that I should show off all of my additions from the last few months for the 'ole collection. Thanks to the many people I have traded with, with a particular shout out to Matt (gbbadger) for helping me with a lot of these, and to IrbeCards32 for stepping down in order to let me win the Between the Pipes Stick and Jersey Gold 1/1.

I realize that I have shown off some of these already but I have also not shown off many as well, so it is always nice to see everything altogether!

Now, due to what I have to do in such a short time, let's get busy

So there you go, hopefully this was a gripping show and tell that left you on the edge of your seat. Comments are definitely welcome since I spent the last part of the hour uploading everything to this post!

great stuff! where did you find the Electric Ice Gold? That's one I'm hunting for...

RE: Unleashing the Beast: Last Three+ Months of Irbe Mail (30+ Scans!) - snobles - 06-19-2012

Wow Bruce! That is amazing.

I especially love all of the BTP stuff.

Great looking goalie collection. Irbe was fun to watch in San Jose.

Thanks for the comment Phil. I actually picked it up as a lt on eBay. Somebody ran me up to $17 as I recall, but I have all of the others except Irbe available. I will have to look back and make sure what the others are for sure.

Thanks for the comment Scott! Fun fact, I have one memorabilia card from 01-02 and one dual autograph from 11-12 to go before I own every single BTP pack-inerted and HSHS card of Irbe ever made, and that includes all 1 of 1s.

Amazing feat, Bruce! Congrats on the stunning adds to an already stellar Irbe PC!

I actually found it on Center Ice Collectibles' website. They had a bunch and sold a bunch very quickly. I was lucky to get my hands on the Irbe within minutes of finding it. Supposedly less than 100 exist.

Crazy good pick ups to add to your collection.
