Jimmy Howard: Score & A Sticker

Additions to my Jimmy Howard collection have been lacking lately, mainly because I haven't had the time to make it out to any card shows or spend a lot of time on ebay. These latest two additions actually came from fellow blogger Sal over at Puck Junk

The first is Jimmy's base card from this year's Score set. I really like this card, everything except for the orientation of the player name. Panini got this one backwards in my mind,

What I like most though has to be the overhead shot. I don't think there are enough of these used on cards. The puck being right there in the crease makes this one just that much better. 

Sal was also nice enough to include a sticker from the 2010-11 Panini NHL stickers set. This is the first sticker I've added to my Jimmy Howard collection. The only other stickers I know of in my entire collection are the ones from late 80's Topps sets.

These bring me to 17 unique cards (one double) and one sticker. If anyone wants to see all of them, click here for a link to my Howard collection Photobucket album.

  1. I saw the 20th anniversary card at: http://www.checkoutmycards.com/Cards/Hockey/2010-11/Score_Anniversary/199/Jimmy_Howard
    thought I'd let you know in case you wanted to "score" (wink) that parallel

  2. Hey Michael, thanks for the heads up on that one. I still need both of the 20th anniversary and glossy parallels.
