You've got to give to receive... and this trade would have sent shockwaves all around the NHL had it been done in real life: A
Raymond Bourque (sporting a
Colorado Avalanche uniform) swatch card for this one of
Nicklas Lidstrom:
The best defenseman of each of their eras, though
Lidstrom was far more dominating. The card is from
Panini's
2012-13 Certified (card #FOG-NLI of the
Fabric Of The Game sub-set) and has him pictured in the
Detroit Red Wings' white (away) uniform, with matching swatch.
It is serial-numbered 111/299. I would have preferred number 2 (his jersey number), or 222, but the gift-horse's mouth looked pretty good nonetheless.
The first (and only) European captain of a Stanley Cup championship team and perennial Norris trophy winner will soon be a lock as a first-ballot Hall Of Famer... I'll need another card to commemorate his induction!
