As 2023 winds down to a close, the last few cards keep flowing in. I guess the postal worker had some early Christmas gifts for me! Since the checklist for 2022-23 Upper Deck SP Game Used, I have been eagerly anticipating an update to the A Piece Of History - Win Club set, and this year's SPGU did not dissappoint with 5 new goalies to chase for my ongoing set. Within this product, the new additions for the Win Club set included: A-JQ Jonathan Quick - Los Angeles Kings (40 Win Club) A-MB Martin Brodeur - New Jersey Devils (300 Win Club) A-MF Marc-Andre Fleury - Minnesota Wild (300 Win Club) A-SB Sergei Bobrovsky - Columbus Blue Jackets (40 Win Club) A-TE Tony Esposito - Chicago Blackhawks (300 Win Club) Each of these cards features the regular version /99, along with the parallel patch version numbered /25 or less. While I am excited to add more cards, I found it strange that Brodeur, Esposito, and Fleury would be re-added to this set for their 300-win milestones, seeing as they were included in the original 300 Win Club set. I wouldn't have minded seeing Fleury included again under the 40-win milestone, but to have goalies included under the same milestone was kind of odd. I would have preferred them being re-added under a new category like 500 Win Club, or even a 600 Win Club milestone for Brodeur. I guess it was not to be, but maybe one of these years! Excited to chase a few more of these cards down! If you see any, please let me know. Happy Collecting, Aaron
