Dual Ryane Clowe PC Additions

Some unexpected mail awaited me when I got off work tonight; as it turned out it was a couple of Clowe cards that I had won off eBay several weeks ago that had gotten lost in my recent splurge of purchases, as well as in the back off my mind somewhere apparently.

2011-12 Limited Jumbo Materials Jersey Numbers Prime #24 - Ryane Clowe #ed/10

Another game used card to add to the PC; fact: I've yet to add an auto.  As for this card, being limited to just 10 copies I felt like I had to jump on it before it was too late.  With any cards with a limited pressing under 50 I always feel like if I don't get it now - well who knows, I might never see it again!  In retrospect it's most likely that I'll see it turn up again in the future.  Anyway long story short, bids were placed and in the end I was happily able to secure this one into my collection.

2011-12 Limited Materials #91 Ryane Clowe #ed/99

I've seen this one pop up online quite a few times since I've started my Clowe collection and have put it aside, saving my bidding dough on something else.  Mind you I search up Clowe cards on a daily basis, my watch list is sitting at about 85% Ryane Clowe material.  The card is numbered out of /99 and features a plain grey swatch.  I posted about the Prime version of this card in my last post. 

I've been fooling around with the blog, changed up the header and removed some unnecessary links from the sidebar.

Ryane Clowe PC Pick Ups

I've received a few new Ryane Clowe cards to add to the player collection over the past couple of weeks.  In addition to two base cards from the 2011-12 O-Pee-Chee and Score sets I also picked up a few more limited cards.

I'll start this post up with probably my favorite card I've yet to obtain for the PC; a Ryane Clowe 1/1 from the 2010-11 Panini Dominion set.  My first Ryane Clowe 1/1 and my first 1/1 card ever!  It's a black printing plate .  Although the left corner of the card is marked 'Laundry Tag', I've yet to see any memorabilia cards from Clowe rise it's head online from this Dominion set.

Big thanks to Paul from Cardboarded for aiding in the shipping process with this card - as the dealer would only ship within the United States, I had the card shipped to Paul's address and he was kind enough to receive it and include it with the cards from our recent trade.

The card is numbered 1/1 on the back giving it that true 1/1 feel.

Ryane Clowe PC Mail Day + 2011-12 Panini Certified Pack Rips

I'm way to lazy to post an actual update on a few new pickups; I'm feeling slightly bummed over the fact that my car broke down in the parking lot outside the mall earlier today leading to it having to be towed to the garage - fingers crossed whatever is wrong with it is still covered under warranty.  I also have to work the graveyard shift tonight, at the moment I'm ready to tuck myself into bed and I haven't even started my shift yet.

So here are a couple videos that I recorded earlier...

Homegrown Ryane Clowe and Danny Cleary

Just a small section I found in The Hockey News about two or three weeks ago (whenever San Jose and Detroit were facing off in the playoffs) that caught my eye and so I decided to scan.  Always nice to see the boys from the Rock given a little attention outside of the province; even if it is in the form of a 5 x 7 inch photo with a caption underneath about how Clowe will be marrying Cleary's third-cousin this summer.
