- I'll say this to my dying day, Fleer made a big mistake by switching to the "Gold Medallion Edition" stamp instead of the traditional gold background on these parallels. It most certainly wasn't the same as in past years, where pulling a GM was "special"
- I mentioned this earlier today, but seeing a gold medallion parallel of this card sell for less than the base card on COMC is really wrong. Ultra is no longer listed in the Beckett hockey magazine, but I'm sure that the parallels were roughly 3-5x the base card. Someone correct me if my memory is wrong (which it usually is).
- Plan on hitting card #200 for both Sakic and Thome this week. Will probably feature a jersey card for Joe and either a jersey or bat card for Jim.

- I've always been a fan of the Ultra product. Don't know if anyone has plans to bring it back, but I would purchase it if they do.
- The scan doesn't do the script writing justice. It almost looks as if the blue is spray painted on the card. In hand the blue looks much tighter and the silver foil is much more prominent.
- Tonight's post of the gold medallion parallel will discuss this more, but on COMC right now, the base card is selling for more than the GM parallel. That shouldn't happen...
