Hello everybody, I am a fan of Ilya Kovalchuk!

Here is some of the stuff I got this month, after being out of the hobby for 9+ years, my kiddo made me drag some cards out and let her see them, now here I am again. I post a lot in the trade section, but wanted to bring this up here and show them off.






And finally... I don't know how many packs I ripped of this and never got it, but one turned up on the bay and I snatched it up!

Not sure why the last 2 are so big, I resized them on photobucket. Any suggestions?

Some nice stuff there. I love the pre-lockout stuff and 01/02 was one of my favorite years busting wax.

Thanks, I love 00-01 to 03-04, especially 01-02 though. I opened so much chasing Kovalchuk cards, and just ended up buying them on ebay in the end. A lot has changed it seems like since I last collected, I guess pacific is out of business? Score/Donruss are back making cards? And I noticed that UD owns OPC now? Crazy, Pacific was my favorite company back then.

Thanks, the card only books for 75, but I can remember seeing it on the side of the box and wanting it soooo badly. It's not my favorite Kovy in my collection, but it is pretty dang close!

I was chasing the Datsyuk's and pulling the Kovy's. I was happy at the time as they were easy to trade but I would have loved to have landed a few of the tougher Datsyuk's.

Nice snag on the Draft day, I just noticed it was his jersey number!! Congrats.

It's my 4th one, I said if it got out of hand I wasn't going to bid, but it was actually cheaper than a couple of the others ones so I pulled the trigger.

That's funny, I pulled a few Datsyuks back then, I had a friend that liked him a lot, I think I ended up selling them to him for 1/2 bv, then "re-investing" that money towards a possible kovy pull.

Congratulations on the beauty card...got little bit of everything on there. What a great way to welcome yourself back...and Kovy has turned into such an awesome player recently. There's hope yet for Ovy.
