A Super-Short-Printed Getzlaf Auto For Under Half A Blaster.

While I consider myself a SuperCollector of Ducks' Captain and centerman Ryan Getzlaf, I don't expect to ever acquire all of his cards or even all of his non-1/1 hits. However, when a good if not great deal is staring me in the face, I can't help myself and can't let it pass me by.


Such a mindset is how I came to acquire the above '08-'09 UD Black Diamond Gemography Auto. I had only seen one or two on eBay before and the price was a large Buy-It-Now of $80+. One copy even sold for $73.50. The above, however, randomly appeared one day with a BIN of $9.95 with free shipping. I thought for a few seconds and then couldn't wait to hit the BIN button. It's a really well-done design (the sticker blends in exceptionally) and is apparently super-short-printed.

  1. Definitely a nice design, and you're right about the sticker blending in well, I like that. There's one for the UD naysayers!

  2. Nice score, I totally agree that when you see something like that you have to pounce on it quick. Imagine the remorse if you delayed and someone else snagged it for that price!
