Wild Round Closes @ 2pm
mnc99's Falk SP Authentic: 7 (opie; iluv; crawler; jaykay; jafi; vadim; onoxxx)

mnc99's Sheppard SP Authentic: 1 (bonnev)
I'm not sure that in the end, I can vote against the SPA FW patch auto. I've never studied Minnesota's logo closely but that Falk's got the clouds, trees, star (eyes), setting sun (ears)...everything thing except the river (mouth):
Pretty amazing!

It may not qualify for voting since you no longer own it, but it certainly qualifies as a beautiful card. I'm always extra interested in hearing about self-pulled cards and I think it's very cool that you remember who the card went to. I haven't pulled many patches and nice autographs but for those I've traded, I can still tell you today who I moved them to.

Oh, you could be right...that might explain how so much can fit into that tiny window. Is the shoulder patch sometimes just a miniature logo?

Rice: If you go back and look at the 3 different jerseys pictured, you'll notice that 2 of them have no shoulder patches, but there is 1 jersey that has what appears to be 2 different shoulder patches, one of which says WILD, and appears to be at least 3 different colours.
Thanks to Tha Penguin for the banner!

mnc99 clinches his first win in style - with a clean sweep - with only 3 teams to go.
Wild Round Closed
mnc99's Falk SP Authentic: 8 (opie; iluv; crawler; jaykay; jafi; vadim; onoxxx; rice)
mnc99's Koivu Dominion: 2 (bimola; pens1)
mnc99's Sheppard SP Authentic: 1 (bonnev)
Congratulations to mnc99 for your amazing Falk, which packs more color, texture, and breaks than any one tiny window should ever handle. Only your Koivu and Sheppard could erode the overwhelming support for that beauty of a card. The next pick is yours whenever you choose (or create your own category)!
Teams Remaining:
Rangers
Canucks
Blues

Not much for the Blues so I'll post a jersey auto and an event-used patch from the Ultimate case that I am working on. Spud
