This one looks all but over so unless we have an objection, I'm going to call it. That Talbot patch may actually be the sweetest Pens patch I've ever seen anywhere, but there's so much great stuff out there, I'm glad we were able to spread the love.

Hmmmmmm......Whaaaalerrrs.......I never thought of looking for THOSE ones. THANKS for the idea!!!

...just kiddin'

...maybe.

...as he strokes his chin, lost in deep thought, lol!

Ya, thanks! Sometimes I feel like I'm the only collector out there that has any interest in nameplates!! (at least that would theoretically make them a lot cheaper to pick up!)

I think instead, you're probably the only collector out there who has it as the focal point of your collection, while most would feel lucky to own even 1 or 2.

The team cards like yours are one of the main reasons I like Artifacts. Here's another one with the same number even! Spud

Certified had some nice multi-star cards too.

Your Artifacts treasure trove never gets tiring to look at...amazing stuff.

Hereis my late entry but nowhere near as good as the others.

and even though it is a multi team card.

I think you're not giving these enough credit...they're stunning pieces, all. What's the Crosby, Richards, Lecavalier connection though?

That Team Marks collection is ridiculous.

It doesn't even look real. I mean, Hugh gives new meaning to the term patch faker! Ridiculous.

Thanks for contributing some new colors. It's always a nice change of pace to see some jerseys from the minors.
