About a month or two ago an auction was up online for a Zach Parise Ice rookie and a Duncan Keith Ice rookie. I ended up in a little bit of a debate with myself on this one. I own both of their Young Guns, and in the case of both of them I do have another one or two other low end rookies. So, the debate was, "Do I need these cards, or do I just want them?".
I am sure some of us have been in this situation before, so my debate ended with, if I can land them both for under 10 bucks with shipping....then sure I need them.
I threw my bottom line bid in, and luck should have it, I won.
So here are the prizes:
Zach Parise #/999

Duncan Keith #/2999
2999 rookies isn't exactly a limited production run when you consider this is supposed to be an upper-end card, but certainly the price was right and I am a pretty big fan of Duncan Keith.

However, with that being said, I certainly don't need this card and probably if I was contacted by a big Keith fan I could be convinced to trade it. Parise on the other hand could also become trade bait depending on the Devils success resigning him. Either way, I felt I did quite well on these pick up and Ice Rookies always look nice in one's collection.
Nice looking cards, seems like you got a pretty great deal on those two!
ReplyDeleteWould you swap the Keith for a 2011-12 Upper Deck Series 2 "Rookie Breakouts" insert card of New Jersey Devils center Adam Henrique, numbered 076/100. That's way more limited than 2,999--and Henrique isn't a "headhunter" like that nasty ol' Keith is :)
