I've made purchases like this before on eBay, and usually come out pretty happy. It was one of those deals where the seller sets a flat price, then in the listing has the actual prices of all the cards they have for sale. For me, this worked out well, as some of the prices for these 3 cards (especially the Galchenyuk) border on the high side, even for talented players. The cards cost me $12, as the dealer knocked a couple of dollars off the shipping cost which I thought was pretty decent.
The seller's name is duckshockeyfan and as you might have guessed deals strictly with hockey cards. I'll certainly be heading back to them to finish up another set or two in the future.
The other 6 SPs from this set came from all the way up in Thunder Bay, ON as Rusty (TCDB ID:rustyk) was kind enough to send me these in a deal in which I messed up and surely forgot to send everything that was promised from my end. I truly wonder if working from home and being a hermit as I am now is starting to mess with my brain a little.
To make up for my mistake I found a few extra cards to send his way, hopefully they get there in the next week or 2 with how the mail is going right now.
All right, just one set left on the New Years list, 1974 Topps. It's down to 35 cards to go with a purchase and a trade or 2 that have come in recently. The want list, in case you're curious, is so.
1,4,10,55,126,181,182,197,209,226,245,250,251,263,268,270,300,301,317,331,
339,340,359,363,398,402,420,480,492,523,530,540,575,582,597
A couple of Hank Aaron specials at the beginning (1 and 4), Pete Rose, Johnny Bench and a few other stars are on the list, but I should be able to chop away at it and hopefully be done by labor day.
Then we start on the next batch of sets. Nothing easy for this guy.
Enjoy the hobby!!

Happy 9th!
