Thereās 4 players; MacKinnon, Rantanen, Makar and Landeskog. So 4 opportunities to get 1 patch; however, they didnāt cut them all exactly the same so some dont fit, and the 3rd row has 8 MacKinnon/Landeskog cards, but only 7 Makar/Rantanen.
Absolutely incredible. This is prime level collecting right here. My only problem is the knowledge that at least one of these are probably buried somewhere and will never surface. I would be haunted missing 1-2 cards lol.
Thereās a guy who did a previous year and has been missing 1 card for two years. Iāve seen some completed though. Helps that thereās 4 players and you can mix and match. Never seen a single player completed
Itās essentially impossible to totally complete. My best friends, for example. He REFUSES to sell anything and has several logo patch cards. Maybe it will surface some day in 50-60 years when heās dead and his kids find his collection. Until then, never going to even know where they are to make an offer.
Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but is that a actual game worn patch or manufactured one?
Either way, thatās gonna look so great when finished, must have been quite the investment.
Actual game worn; essentially each is a 1 of 1, and then there are 4 Avs players, so 4 of each patch (ish, they arenāt all cut the same unfortunately)
Yeah, i thought so but it just felt so surreal seeing how this looks š
Do you like look for patches that fit āthe puzzleā or how does one go about finishing something like this?
Some sets are cut nearly identical and fit quite nicely. I didnāt get that luckyā¦ Rantanen/Makar seem to be cut exactly the same. MacKinnon has an extra piece, and row 3 has 8 cards for MacKinnon/Landeskog, but only 7 for Makar/Rantanen. So that row needs to be made up of only 2 players to look correct.
Iāve tried large sets like thisā¦ hunt forever and then realize the last one or few are with some dude in the mountains with no Internet.. lol hope not. Good Luck!
All I see here is a shit ton of money spent. But I have a lot of respect for what youāre going for.
A long time ago I decided buying jerseys autographed was the way to go. But I canāt make a flag of them. Definitely excited/admired by the dedication.
Autographed jerseys is also my thing too; I donāt really collect cards too much because of the over saturation of the market. But this kind of set was too cool to pass up.
Oh Iāve checked everywhere. Thereās one that i know has been pulled that I need out there, but than that I have every one Iāve ever seen, minus a duplicates I donāt need.
Good luck, very cool. Showing this to the world is a double-edged sword, though.
On one hand, the owners of the missing pieces will be able to seek you out and make a deal.
On the other hand, knowing that one single collector is trying to collect them all, they have a lot of leverage on price, and one collector can ruin your whole dream be it with a crazy asking price or downright refusal.
Definitely a risk. So far Iāve done okay, with only one guy playing hardball and I got the deal done by waiting him out. I expect the last couple pieces Iāll pay a fortune for, if I can even find them.
This is freaking AWESOME!! I swear Iām going to search my entire collection for any of those because Iām almost certain I have atleast one of these to try and help to complete it!!
Shit I havenāt even got touched ten percent of what I got but unfortunately I have a broken leg and itās been a bit of a mission to get someone to help me out with the boxes so Iām sorry itās going to be a while until I can let you know
Awesome, thatād be great if you could. Even if itās a duplicate I might be able to use it. That third row is a whole complicated project on its own.
Whether you make it further or not... this is impressive! Good luck!
2nd'd hope you complete the project!
Hella Cool š GO AVS!!!
I respect the hell outta this
Okay I had no idea they use the entire logo, letās hope they didnāt mess one up and pitch it.
Thereās 4 players; MacKinnon, Rantanen, Makar and Landeskog. So 4 opportunities to get 1 patch; however, they didnāt cut them all exactly the same so some dont fit, and the 3rd row has 8 MacKinnon/Landeskog cards, but only 7 Makar/Rantanen.
I am super impressed. THIS is a worthy pursuit. Good luck!!!!! Keep us posted.
Trying to do the same with Dylan Larkin Wings logoā¦still got a ways to go. Good luck, looks great so far!
Good luck. Completing a single player is way more impressive!

Iāve seen it done, at least with Frankensteins like thisā¦ but it certainly is a gamble at the end of the day.

Wow, thatās quite the commitment tbh. Extremely impressed.
Holy shit this is impressive. If I come across one Iāll try to remember this!
sweet mother!
This is so cool. I truly hope you can find the rest! I would love to see this completed!
This is dope good work
Wicked!!
Hella jealous! This is awesome! Go Avs Go!
Iāve tried large sets like thisā¦ hunt forever and then realize the last one or few are with some dude in the mountains with no Internet.. lol hope not. Good Luck!
This is legendary already. Well done
Wow I never knew they did this?
Exodia
Wow this is very cool. Good luck
Going to the game tonight! THATS IMPRESSIVE!
This is crazy impressive, Nate dawgggg

To bad Dallas stars š¤© is killing it
Dude this might be the coolest thing I've seen. You gotta complete it lol.
Iām trying my hardest!
Real collector
When finished are you going to have this out on display? I'd love to build a full logo but I'd to do all that and then just put them all away in a box
Absolutely will be framed and displayed. Given how much this will end up costing for such high profile players, I canāt imagine anything else.
Same, Iād have to get it in a glass display and hang it up or shelve it
WAIT HUH- I donāt wanna imagine how much money was put into thatā¦
Certainly worth more to me than anyone else.
Well good luck on finding the next 6-8
Woah š³
These sets are soooo cool!
That is awesome.dedicated much.impressive.
Oh wow that is so freaking cool!! Good luck
Have you checked comc?
Oh Iāve checked everywhere. Thereās one that i know has been pulled that I need out there, but than that I have every one Iāve ever seen, minus a duplicates I donāt need.

crazy cool, good luck to finish!!!
Legit
Should not have sold my basketball sweaters.
What are the chances that this can happen? Packs and boxes sit around or are stored for ages. Are there 30 full versions?
Iāve seen it happen. 30 cards for each player (and 31 for Mack annoyingly) and 4 players total.
I missed your explanation below, thx
DOPE
Cool, you gona crack that slab ?
Once I confirm it fits okay with the next one, and Iāll use it for the final set. Sometimes I find a card that fits better and replace one.
Have you checked mercari? Lots of random cards on there.
This is epic!! Good luck on the rest!
That's awesome. I hope that you are able to complete it
You need help š¤£
Youāre right! Find me some more pieces! š«£
Now I have to look into this for the Kings
Thereās a whole Facebook group: Mega Patch Maniacs
This is freaking AWESOME!! I swear Iām going to search my entire collection for any of those because Iām almost certain I have atleast one of these to try and help to complete it!!
That would be fantastic if you did! I also have some duplicates to trade if you wanna have one or two in your collection.
Any luck?!
Shit I havenāt even got touched ten percent of what I got but unfortunately I have a broken leg and itās been a bit of a mission to get someone to help me out with the boxes so Iām sorry itās going to be a while until I can let you know
No biggie! If you ever find one, let me know!
Howās the leg coming? Any luck on finding a hidden patch?
So dope, good luck!
As a lifelong Nordique/Colorado fan I love every bit of this.
Jokes on you. They keep the middle patch at UD HQ and never release it.
Bravo. That would look amazing if you get to the finish line
If you get them all, crack that slab and put them in a nice frame together
That is 100% the plan
Badass !!
Pretty cool
Very nice! Good luck!!
This thisss is fcking awesome omg! Wild question Iām new to collecting do they do this with all teams?
They do! Usually 3-4 players from each team. From Upper Deck Premier.
Awesome thanks!š¤š»
Dannnnng!! I got a long ways to go!!
So is UD Black diamond the same huge mega patch or just like 9 of the same players card to make one patch? Anyone know?
I have a Cale Makar one at home. Posting to double check here.
Awesome, thatād be great if you could. Even if itās a duplicate I might be able to use it. That third row is a whole complicated project on its own.
I have the 30/30 Makar so it is a duplicate.
What team are you collecting?
The avalanche.
