My First KHL 1/1 !

Jhonas Enroth 2017-18 KHL Goaltenders Printing Plate Yellow 1/1 - Released in 2018-19 SeReal KHL Exclusive Collection Part 2.

 After seeing the 2nd installment of the KHL Exclusive Collection (appropriately named "Part 2") release not too long ago, I was trying to minimize my excitement knowing that there were 4 Enroth 1/1 printing plates released in this product, but snagging any of them would prove to be quite the task. 

Was I up for the challenge?

 Once the product was finally released, I noticed two of the printing plates (Cyan & Magenta) were pulled by the same collector in his case break. They were gone in a flash. 

On one hand, while I was dissappointed, I knew what I was getting into when I kept chasing Enroth's cards in the KHL. The compeition for these cards are really intense, almost borderline impossible to compete with depending on which group of collectors are involved. So I guess the chase will have to continue.

Fastforward to a few days later, and I notice one of the printing plates end up on eBay from a well known collector/breaker breaker overseas. This user has a lot of unique KHL for sale and has been a big help in adding to my Enroth collection. Without eBay members like these who make a lot of European cards availible to us North American collectors, I'm not sure what the KHL section of my Enroth collection would look like today. 

​Anyways, let the bidding war begin... A few moments before the auction ended, it spiked up quite a bit but I still managed to win it. Considering the competition for these elusive KHL cards, I think the price was fair. I'm just glad I can finally add a KHL 1/1 to my collection. Another feather in the cap of this collection, that's for sure. 

Ontop of this being my 48th 1/1 stamped card, this also marks my 400th unique card (and 472nd card in total) in my Enroth collection. Wow, what a milestone!

​Enjoy!
