A few weeks before the National, Upper Deck‘s Chris Carlin was on Beckett Radio to talk about the company’s plans at the show. Mr. Carlin gave them a Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup Champions set.
I knew that I would NEED the Andrew Shaw card for my PC and entered the giveaway. I ended up winning the set! So, I now have a direct contribution to the PC from Upper Deck and Beckett Radio. Maybe it makes me a dork, but I think that’s it’s cool to WIN a card for my PC.
Looking through the set, I would like to share something. If you don’t have one of these, just know that the cards seem to be very condition sensitive. I’m not saying that it’s a good or bad thing, it’s just the reality. They seem to get a lot of chipping. If you find a good one, maybe it’s worth sending to Beckett Grading.
