Where: eBay
How Much?: $4.00 (free shipping)
Why?: My latest acquisition in my long-term quest to nab as many of the '92-93 Ultra buybacks from Fleer Showcase as I can. I'm certainly not going to pass up a HOFer from the set, like Glenn Anderson here, for less than $5 shipped! I think Glenn might be about as under-rated as you can be while simultaneously being enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Guy had just under 500 career goals, and more than 600 career assists. More than that, he's remembered as being an absolutely clutch player in the playoffs.
I'm up to 14 of these buybacks now, well 14 of the non-autographed cards anyway. Thanks to keeping my eyes peeled long after this product disappeared off of shelves and a saved eBay search or two, I hope to make more progress on this soon...
Congratulations on the new addition. I remember Anderson back in the 90's... but missed out on the best years of his career since I didn't really start watching hockey until the early 90's.
ReplyDeleteAs a Ranger fan Anderson is an anomaly for me; he was in the 1994 Cup winning team, but only briefly as he was picked up at the trade deadline and didn’t come back the next year. But he was there when it mattered most!
ReplyDeleteForgot that he played for Toronto. No surprise he was part of the Leafs team that went on that playoff run in 1992-93. Great pickup!
ReplyDeleteNice pick up!
