After acquiring all four autographed rookie patch cards from 2011-12 Dominion of the Pittsburgh Penguins, and really admiring the look of what Panini did with these cards, I have decided to embark of what may be an impossible task.
I am going to try my best to complete the set.
There are a total of 70 rookie autographed patch cards from Dominion, with 52 being numbered to 199 and 18 being numbered to 99.
I am already on the way there, with these four in hand and a few more on the way.
It will get tricky, though, when it comes to a couple of these. The 2011 number one pick Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has sold on Ebay for $340 at the lowest. Maybe I'll strike up a good deal down the road. The big risk with this is not just the cost that it will total, but the fact that a few of these cards, including the one for Rookie of the Year Gabriel Landeskog, are redemptions. While a lot of these redemptions are already being filled, if there are any that don't end up coming through, it would taint the set quite a bit to have a gap for one of the cards.
These 70 cards range from $5 to $340, so this will be something that I'm sure I'll be working on for a LONG time, but if I can pull it off, it will be a thing of beauty.
I have a link on the right side of my page, where I will be keeping track of what I am able to take in. As great as these cards look, they deserve more than a simple list.
You're insane...haha good luck!
