Just back from PSA. Razor sharp corners and edges but a few small surface issues take it down to a PSA 2. Can't complain about this one as they are impossible to find and when you do they are in bad shape. Happy to add it to the PC.

That is a good looking card. And a tough grade...wow!

Great looking cards, guys.

Hard to believe that Orr got a 2, Tomi, but regardless of the grade, I'd be pumped to add that one to my collection!

A couple newer and one semi vintage RC's that arrived today.

That Dryden looks exceptional.

Agreed. The centering couldn't be better.

Got this super underrated gem in today, Sidney Crosby's Fleer Ultra Gold Medallion RC:







These were ridiculously tough to pull back in the day. The Gold Medallion versions of the short printed rookie cards only fell about one per case, and there were 21 different SP rookies. You can do the math on that and see how many cases it would take to pull one Crosby

Absolutely thrilled to add this to my collection. I know the Young Gun is far more popular but I think this card looks many times nicer - the gold of the card really compliments the Penguins colors perfectly, and it's one of the only Crosby rookies with an action shot featuring the black home jersey - and it is considerably more rare. Only a few hundred graded! I think it's time in the spotlight will come someday.

Now to try and acquire an Ovechkin to match
