LINDEN CARD OF THE WEEK - It's......A Card

Alright....the last of my card show pickups has me thinking if it's even worth sharing this one with you all.

After all, I overpaid for it (was part of my 2-card lot with the Chelios Signature Champions) and it really doesn't have much exciting to add.  But maybe I'm being too critical.

I'll let you all decide.

There are cards that I purposefully pass on when I see it pop up online.  I figure that there's a good chance I'll find it locally.  And to me "locally" means cheaper.

Most of the time.

2014/15 Leaf In The Game Used
Game Used Quad Silver
#GU4J-02 (with Hull, Naslund & Roenick)  /55

This is the most common card Linden has in the robust first offering from Leaf back a couple years ago.  Leaf/ITG paired up to release In The Game Used and Trev has a whopping 45 cards in the product.

FORTY-FIVE

And this card /55 is the most common.  You can understand if I didn't go after this list with a great amount of gumption.

I did find a copy of this quad jersey but the price tag was a little cringe-worthy.  Hoping to get the price down I paired it up with the aforementioned Chris Chelios autograph but the discount was only marginal.

So let's not talk about how much I spent on this card.

Instead, let's try to figure out what the heck the connection is between the four players shown on the card.  And "They all play hockey" is not the right answer.

And........go.

  1. Is there an actual connection??? None of them should have ever left their original teams maybe?

    I am saying they never played with each other on the same.

  3. I have absolutely no idea what the connection is.

    If only there was a space to present that information.....say, THE BACK OF THE CARD.

    My best guess.....Leaf had memorabilia from all four individuals. :)
