Quack Quack: Anaheim Ducks Cards

[cholodolo]

This thread is intended to share my Anaheim Ducks collection as well as the Ducks cards and collections of fellow collectors and members. Thank you.

The Legend:



John Gibson:



Bobby Ryan sighting...Lundestrom with the fan favorite inscription:



Selected cards from Freeway Face-Off Collection:



2021-22 SP Game Used Tonight's Lineup -- so far have 5 and would like to accumulate as many as possible. If you have one, I am the buyer; if you refer me to one I will pay a commission (thank you).



The top shelf:

Great cards. The hobby has largely forgotten about Scott Niedermayer which is wild considering he’s probably a Top 100 all time guy. Goes to show why you don’t spend big on defensemen.

I'll try and wrangle up some photos of the Kariya cards in my PC for this thread when I'm back home.

Agree my friend, great photo and love that is shows off the Mighty Duck shoulder patch. The Red PMGs in the Alternate Jerseys are awesome. Been eyeing a Draisaitl for a while now.

Thank you -- I just sold a bunch of Gibbys so those are my last 3. Do you have yours displayed online somewhere?

Here are some Kariya cards I have in my collection. Apologies for quality of the images taken from my phone. In the market for a new scanner at the moment...

Pretty sure there is a vertical quad diamond that I'm missing to complete this 97/98 Black Diamond rainbow. Never seen one in the wild though.



I know a few of these aren't Ducks memorabilia cards but still showing them off regardless.






Got one of these 93/94 Fleer Ultras signed by Kariya at a UMaine golf event as a kid in the mid '90s. Sadly it was one of the few cards from my collection I lost in a house fire back in 2006. Finally found one to replace it a couple years ago.

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing -- Kariya cards are a sore spot for me. Had a bunch as a kid, but of course, let them all go. Now they are difficult to find -- really love the Black Diamonds you have.

Pleased to hear you found a replacement card -- the autos on that Maine and Black Diamond are strong. Very cool. Was hoping we'd see some Kariyas in your Maine Black Bears collection.

While I understand his frustrations with the league (and that he deals with TBI related issues), I always wonder why he no longer signs or participates. Teemu is all about it. It's a bummer because the only autos around are IP or the streaky Be a Player.

I know a lot of Ducks fans hold a grudge for the way he left in 2004 and a good portion probably haven't forgiven him. I'm sure it also doesn't help that he's still super private and isn't really involved in the game at all.

He was kind enough to sign those couple cards above and chat for a while at the UMaine HOF Banquet back in 2017. Wish he'd be more present as an alumni for UMaine stuff but could say that about a lot of former NHLers they have had.

Thankfully his IP signature is really nice (unlikely some athletes that really rush them) and at least you know that means there is a greater level in scarcity for his autos.

Love the Hebert too. They picked a great image of him for this one

EDIT: Might as well contribute a couple other Ducks cards I found going through a box the other night:

[NotGoSportsBall]

I agree. Never saw the Kariya quad in the wild. Too cool. Used to have a handful from that parallel set. Now just the Jovanovski.

Fedorov in those black Ducks jerseys is a favorite of mine. Love that set. Cool Perry triple color- the jade and eggplant is nearly extinct!

Hebert Quad is for sale if someone wants it. $15 + shipping.

It’s worth the photo alone. Great action shot.

Any Steve Rucchin cards? I played against him in high school.

Just some stuff I have readily on hand and from a recent e-Pack shipment. Have a few others at PSA right now and a bunch still in the e-Pack account but couldn’t resist joining this thread lol

Nice cards PJ!! That Fleer Ultra Gold looks great.

Does UD have any plans for Ducks games this season? If I can suggest one, Black Friday Ducks vs. Kings 12:30 puck drop. Would be a perfect opportunity to setup in front of the Honda Center.

No plans as of right now as far as I know but I agree, that would be the best one to go to!

Is that Black Amber? Love the gold ink.

[rohara99]

Picked up the Kariya a while back... massively overpaid for it and one of the only cards in my PC that I didn't get signed myself at a formal sit down signing (for obvious reasons).




And got this Selanne done at a signing last year.
