Every collector loves a good mail day.

Here’s a fun recap post from the past few weeks with some more SHL Series 1!

The anticipation can be half as fun as opening up the package, even when you know what’s inside! I received a package all the way from Sweden recently from my new hobby friend, Edwin.

Edwin was kind enough to broker the deal between a few other collectors in Sweden, including himself, to help me in finding new Enroth SHL cards for my collection.

In total, this mail day saw 12 new cards added into the collection. Most were duplicates, but they did include a few big cards for the collection – So I’ll just show some highlights.

Here are the goods!

Pink parallel

Red parallel 3/20

Red parallel 4/20

To start, here are a couple of nice base parallels. The Crimson Pink were exclusive to just retail & blaster packs, while the two Scarlet Red parallels /20 were limited to hobby boxes only.

Not only do these cards look great, but they were to final two colours I needed to finish off this sweet 7-card rainbow. Nice to complete another in-season base rainbow after all these years!

Silver (Base)
Crimson Pink
Admiral Blue
Shamrock Green /30
Scarlet Red /20
Blonde Gold /10
Black Raven 1/1

Finally.. It is complete!

A 7-card rainbow in all its glory!

The next big card to share is this amazing Crease Masters Gold Autograph /25. I love the design of this card so much. The darker background really makes the gold foil pop. Add-on an autograph, and a fantastic card is born.

Gold Autograph parallel 23/25

After finding out that Enroth was included in SportZoo’s 2025-26 SHL Series 1, which was the first Swedish Hockey League licensed boxed product in over 10 years, getting some new ink for the PC was a nice thing to see. Speaking of rainbows, this autograph parallel /25 completed the quick 3-card rainbow.

These next two cards were the big additions from this mail day:

Unique Marks below!

Unique Mark 11/24

Unique Mark Tag C 3/3

The first red and (barely) white logo swatch numbered 11/24 is a duplicate for me, but that doesn’t make it any less impressive of a card.

Last year, if you were to tell me that Enroth would have game-used SHL memorabilia cards, I probably would have looked at you funny. So any time I can add any more cards from this memorabilia set, I’ll take it.

The key card here is the sweet Tag C card numbered to just 3 copies, with this copy being the final version numbered 3/3. This unique tag features some Swedish words that ran on the back of Örebro preseason jersey’s from this past season.

The Swedish words Närkes Stolthet translates to “Närke’s Pride” in english, and it’s a nod to the province of

Närke, which is located in south-central Sweden, centered around the city of

Örebro.

Närkes Stolthet (“Närke’s Pride”) slogan located on the back of Örebro HK’s 2025-26 preseason jersey’s.

As an added bonus, here’s a fun image from the pre pack-out promotional photos that show the full run. Cards 1/3, 2/3, and my 3/3 copy. Always fun to see!
