Late this afternoon I was excited to see another yellow bubble mailer sitting in the mailbox today, as I knew exactly what was inside before I even opened it. Don't you love mail days like those?
These cards might not look like much, but it completes my 2018-19 Upper Deck Synergy Last Line Of Defence green parallel insert set, limited to 199 copies. I'm not primarily a set collector, so making the decision to chase a particular set of cards is a rare thing for me. While I've completed some low-end goalie sets in the past, this is the first paralleled set of goalie cards I've completed so far, which is a new collecting 'milestone' for me. Though this isn't a complete master set for this subset (there are also Midnight Parallels #/25), I am still stoked to put this set to bed. I received these two cards from a fellow Hobby Insider forum member, as he broke very large amounts of 18-19 Synergy and gifted these to me free of charge in order for me two finally finish this green parallel set. Love that! Until next time, - Crease

Congratulations on finishing your green parallel set! I totally agree, cards don't need to be expensive to give you that rush of excitement. It is very important to make those hobby connections on forums such as Hobby Insider, pays dividends in so many ways (friendships, information, cards, etc.)

Thanks for the comment, Al! I agree on all fronts. I think making those connections have proved to be some of the best moments in this hobby and I'm glad that I've pushed to make my collecting habits more "social" in a way to meet other collectors along the way. Leave a Reply. |
