2009 Goudey = Big steaming pile of crap

Zman over at Autographed cards has the first look I've seen of the new '09 Goudey.

My wallet just got a little fatter looking at those cards. I will not be buying any needless to say.

What happened to all the really good sets? Why do they insist on taking all these really great ideas and ruining them?

for the love of the gods...

WTF are they doing???? And it's an SP to boot.

I did it again.....

I've been working on my wantlists, desperately trying to get some trades going and finish off some sets before the 2009 stuff hits.
Well, the trades haven't been forthcoming, and it looks like I've committed to another set. I love these cards.
So now I'm working on Series One, when Series Two hits in mere days.
Perfect. Why do I always do this? Derek Roy - Buffalo (Flying through mid air... nice effort.)
Brad Richards - Dallas
Drew Stafford - Buffalo
Anze Kopitar - Los Angeles ( pronounced like it's spelled, a great player on a crap team)

Niklas Kronwall - Detroit

Peter Budaj - Colorado (pronounced Boo-DIE)

Ryan Smith - Colorado

Henrik Sedin- Vancouver (no, you haven't been drinking too much... you're not seeing double, that's his twin brother Daniel beside him)

Mike Smith - Tampa Bay (All Rookie Team last season, also the rare, sideways printed version)

Tomas Vokoun - Florida ( this is one heckuva goalie pack!)

Zybnek Michalek - Phoenix (pronounced .... oh hell, I don't know...)

Joffrey Lupul - Philadelphia

Jean-Sebastien Giguere - Los Angeles Ducks of Anaheim (just seeing if you're paying attention)
Look at his eyes following that puck! Awesome.

Simon Gagne - Philadelphia

Guillaume Latendresse - Montreal ( finally! a Canadien)

Henrik Lundqvist Masked Men

Wow. A great pack. Not a lot of stars, but a lot of goalies, and superb photography. this was half of one of those FatRackBlister thingies that I busted first here... I've bought three of those so far and no doubles or damaged cards........yet. I love 'em...

A trade/want list will be up soon...
