2008/09 Upper Deck NHL Legends Masterpieces, Part Two

I've been noticing some activity around the net (and increased traffic to this here blog) lately about the 2008/09 NHL Legends Masterpieces set that was put out last fall by Upper Deck and the lack of information surrounding just who the sketch artists are. So, I'll put up the rest of what I did for the set so that the collectors may have an easier time knowing what to look for. I'm pleased to hear that a few of my cards showed up on ebay and went for some pretty high prices, so I'm eager to see the rest filter out, as well.

2008/09 Upper Deck NHL Legends Masterpiece

Here are a smattering of the 50 cards that I did for the Upper Deck NHL Legends Masterpiece set earlier this past summer. I had to wait until the set was released before I could show these and since that happened in September and one of my cards has already shown up on ebay (last time I checked the bid was at $112 for the Esposito card in the second row), I can safely show them. I had to do 10 of Gordie Howe and 10 of Wayne Gretzky and the other 30 were of my choosing from the list of Hockey legends that was made available to us arteests.

I did these right at the time of the Stanley Cup and refused to do any Mario Lemieux cards until after the Wings beat the Penguins. Didn't want to jinx 'em. But, I did do two of Mario (not shown here) afterwards.
