Card of the Day - 2005-06 Upper Deck Trilogy : Luc Robitaille Autograph

This card will probably be the only duplicate of a player in my King's set. As stated in a previous post seen HERE I was not happy with the card that I previously won on eBay. It was entirely my fault as the card I received was exactly as described but just not the type of card I expected so off I went on another search for an autograph card of the great left winger Luc Robitaille.

I had to make sure that the card I received this time held up to my own personal standards but at the same time still find a deal which can be hard when it comes to Luc's cards. He is still very popular in the hobby and a lot of his cards can be pricey.

I found this little gem in my own backyard in Orange County, CA. Seller had it up for an opening asking price of just $10. This is one of those cards that is made entirely of hard plastic and clear. So I knew I would have no issue with this card if I could get my hands on it. It was a short auction with no action on it and I won it for the original asking price. Delivered within the week and now it sits next to my less desirable card of Luc. I am finally content on a card of Luc and can continue on my search for the other members on the team now.

Card of the Day - 2008-09 Upper Deck Masterpieces : Luc Robitaille Autograph

Back to hockey for one day and I received a card that I actually regret a little for acquiring. Nothing is wrong with the card per se but in person it looks odd to me. I guess I should have paid closer attention to the auction and its description as it clearly states that the card is in an insert entitled brushstrokes. As in painting brushstrokes. The card's picture is in that type of texture and not in the traditional smooth surface. With that going on the autograph to me looks a tad muted. I am happy to finally add the greatest left winger in hockey history to my collection but I am still on the look out for another copy of his signature to acquire. Lesson learned on reading until the end. Thankfully I won this auction at the cost of only $10 which either way you cut it is a good deal for Luc's autograph.
