2010 – A Quest Is Bruin'

I didn't really collect much during this decade, and have had to play catch-up after the fact. Pastrnak is quite easily the high point.

From my collection : Top 10 modern Bruins cards

My favorite Willie O'Ree card A short list of my 10 (or so) favorite Bruins cards from the modern era.

2019-20 Upper Deck

Complete. Missing a rare variation featuring a Patrice Bergeron alternate photo; not really trying for Young Guns variations.

2019-20 SP Authentic

2019-20 SP Authentic Complete. For the longest time I was missing the Pastrnak / McAvoy Future Icons card, but I finally tracked one down.

2019-20 O-Pee-Chee

Complete. Missing a handful of red and gold border versions, and a few alternate logo/photo variations, but base + retro are finished.

2019-20 Topps Now Stickers

Complete. I have all the Bruins-related stickers as well as a David Pastrnak retro SP.

2018-19 Upper Deck

2018-19 Upper Deck Complete. Missing a handful of Young Guns variations.

2018-19 SP Authentic

2018-19 SP Authentic Complete. Ryan Donato signed his cards too late, and they were scattered into the following year's product, I suspect not in full.

2018-19 O-Pee-Chee

2018-19 O-Pee-Chee Complete. Missing three gold border variations that shouldn't be this hard to track down – Chara, Carlo, and Wingels.

2017-18 Upper Deck

2017-18 Upper Deck Complete. Base team set is complete, but I didn't chase any of the high-end rookie parallels here at all.

2017-18 SP Authentic

2017-18 SP Authentic Complete. Of course, without all the patches and inscribed variations and Sign of the Times.

2017-18 O-Pee-Chee

2017-18 O-Pee-Chee Complete. Missing 7 red wrapper redemption variations, but have all the base and retro.

2016-17 Upper Deck

2016-17 Upper Deck Complete. Base, canvas, and game jerseys. However I don't have all of the Exclusives or foil parallels from ePack.

2016-17 SP Authentic

Complete. Not a whole lot here, four base cards and two FWAs.

2016-17 O-Pee-Chee

2016-17 O-Pee-Chee Complete. Base + retro are finished, but still a few rainbow / black rainbow parallels left to track down.

2015-16 Upper Deck

2015-16 Upper Deck Complete. Completed base, silver foilboard, and canvas.

2015-16 SP Authentic

Complete. Still chasing Sign of the Times for Krejci (released the following year) and Orr.

2014-15 Upper Deck

Complete. All Pastrnak all the time: a PSA 10 Canvas Young Guns and an ungraded base Young Guns. Not perfect, but a pretty good pair of RCs.

2014-15 SP Authentic

2014-15 SP Authentic #282 David Pastrnak Complete. This is David Pastrnak's rookie class, so SP Authentic is a significant team set to complete.

2013-14 SP Authentic

2013-14 SP Authentic Complete. Took a while to find a decently priced Dougie Hamilton.

2012-13 Upper Deck

2012-13 Upper Deck Complete. In March 2021 I finally tracked down the missing Jagr.

2012-13 SP Authentic

2012-13 SP Authentic Complete. Pretty boring release with only Maxime Sauve in the Future Watch subset.

2012-13 O-Pee-Chee Retro

2012-13 O-Pee-Chee Complete. While there is a Krug RC, this is an unremarkable retro design. A couple of insert sets are more interesting to me.

2011-12 Upper Deck

2011-12 Upper Deck Complete. Recently tracked down the Canvas card of Bobby Orr.

2011-12 SP Authentic

2011-12 SP Authentic Complete. Possibly the most boring SP Authentic base set ever, at least for the Bruins.

2011-12 O-Pee-Chee Retro

2011-12 O-Pee-Chee Retro Complete. Really not concerned with the base set, so I'm going to qualify many of these O-Pee-Chee sets as just the retro parallels.

2010-11 SP Authentic

2010-11 SP Authentic Complete. Final acquisition was the Tyler Seguin Future Watch Autograph.

2010-11 O-Pee-Chee

2010-11 O-Pee-Chee Incomplete. And that's ok. No desire to complete the base set (missing 3), but I do have all the retro and Winter Classic cards.

2010-11 Upper Deck

2010-11 Upper Deck 20th Anniversary Complete. Finally finished the 20th anniversary parallel subset – a nostalgic but tough throwback to the first Upper Deck hockey release (1990-91).
