So i went to my LCS today hopping to pick up some tins of series 2.

Heirs To The Throne Prime Autographed (blue/white patch) TAYLOR HALL of 25
oh ya...numbered 04/25 (his jersey number)....a 1/1

I will likely auction of the taylor hall this weekend however until then i'm willing to listen
to offers...keep in mind i'm only interested in a swap for a single high end Crosby card...

If someone was to offer me a Crosby Young Guns i would say yes without thinking
about it. If we end up making a trade i'll add the card to my organize...however for now
i'm planning to auction it off...

i can provide a picture of the card a bit later today...its a beauty!

[arock99]

[afff]

great hits

[arock99]

Nice hit for sure, but I never understood why people call a #'d card that matches the jersey # a 1/1... Cause technically any of the numbers in the whole seriel number can be called 1/1's then... Say a guy only collects cards with the #2 on them, then every #2 is a 1/1... haha

[arock99]

i know i would spend more to get a card numbered 87 for my crosby collection

[cpratt2005]

Nice pull!

I agree. what happens if Hall gets traded or signs with another team & switches his jersey number? Will that card no longer be considered a 1/1? LOL

nice looking card hope you get what you want
