11-12 Crown Royale Ryan Ellis Rookie Silhouettes Auto /99

The second one I grabbed with my money from the aforementioned sale was another Crown Royale auto rookie of a defenseman but this time it's one of my PC guys, Ryan Ellis.

Here is another example of Crown Royale's Rookie Silhouettes and I think it's a beauty. What had happened was I wanted to use the money to help my PC of Ryan Ellis and when I saw this card I wondered if the seller had any other cool cards and the Gudbranson was an addition to my order. In the end I was super pleased with both cards and the Ellis is by far the centerpiece of the order. 

For those who are wondering, Ryan Ellis has made some excellent strides this past season hitting career highs in goals (10), assists, (22) and points (32). It is this consistency that in some ways made Seth Jones expendable and helped bring in some much needed scoring up front and Nashville looks to be a serious contender this post-season!

  1. Another beauty Dave! BTW, off topic but not sure if you saw my reply to your comment on my blog, but wanted to let you know that I did a little reading and it appears you can order from COMC and get the same flat $3 rate to ship as many cards as you want as we get here in the US!

  2. The more of these you show off, the more impressed I am with them. So, tell me why, Panini doesn't have a license to produce hockey cards?

    1. Thank you very much Marc. That's an interesting question, my guess is the NHL and NHLPA were able to have a better deal with Upper Deck exclusively than perhaps a shared license. I know some people also point out that Panini did have a few failed products that may have also hurt their chances but I am not sure if there's any truth to that.
