2011-2012 Panini Contenders Cup Contenders Auto-3 Color Patch: Getzlaf!

The offseason in any sport is always a good time to find deals on cardboard as people's minds often gravitate towards whatever is on television. I was recently able to add another sweet Ryan Getzlaf John Hancock I've been chasing for a few years.

$12 delivered from Canada netted me this fantastic three-color patch-auto -- numbered 059/100 -- from 2011-2012 Panini Contenders. The silver pops so well on the black background....just beautiful. The card, like all with black borders, has a bit of chipping and a decent ding right under the G in his signature and Getzy's stick, but it's a most welcome addition to the collection all the same.
