Cheap Chiros Part 1

Making my way through a pile of posts I came to one of my favourite lots in the last year. 16 cards, 17 autos and 1 winning bid so low it had to be seen to be believed. Now, some of the autos are strange, undesireable and downright odd.  So here is round 1:

11-12 Crown Royale Voices of the Game John Forslund Auto
 Wow. I have nothing nice to say here other than the auto IS ON CARD.



11-12 Crown Royale Voices of the Game Pierre McGuire Auto
Here is one that is fun to get because I ACTUALLY see him on TV and he was an NHL coach for a period of time

  1. some of those Voices Of The Game autos from Crown Royale were scarce. In the beginning of the release, these didn't show up right away. I tried to track many of them down at first until I realized I wasn't the only one...I think I lost about 163 different auctions for most of what I bid on. I'm still trying to get the Mike Lange one from 2010.

    1. Wow that's lots of auctions, I must admit, before this lot I really didn't even know these existed. Now that I do, I would love a Doc Emrick one...

  2. Sweet, I like the McGuire! Every time I see him doing a broadcast I'm reminded of his time with the Whalers...

  3. Did they make one of Gary Thorne? He used to be the broadcaster for the New Jersey Devils in the late 1980s and early 1990s--and one summer he was play-by-play for the Chicago White Sox!
