Registered Trader,
Well I head back to Colgate on Saturday so I figured I'd scan the huge pile of mail on my desk so I can put it away before I leave. I'm going back so early because I got invited to pre-season football camp. Pretty excited about that as I am a walk-on and this is the first year they've invited me to camp. I will be one of two kickers there and actually have a chance to play so we'll see what happens. I've been a huge Colgate football fan my entire life (my dad played there in the 70's) so its awesome to be on the team you grew up rooting for.
I'll start off slowly with a non-hockey addition to my PC. I wanted a card of Willie Mays and I'm a big Mets fan, so it was pretty much a no-brainer to buy this card for $4...
A nice Drury auto (love this set) and an auto of one of the new Rangers...
A couple for the Baranka collection...
The Ice RC is my 2nd and was a gift from ovechkin05. Thanks again John! The BAP RC brings me to 8/10 (80.00%) on my Baranka collection.
A Blair Betts 06-07 OPC Rainbow /100. This is my 3rd one of these and I am always looking for more (and any serial #'d or auto'd card of Betts)...
A mess of 07-08 Debut Threads Patches is up next. The Hlinka is a gift from jdg517 (or jdg573 depending on which site you are viewing). John is miles ahead of me in Debut Patch collecting and offered to send this one to me free of charge. Hopefully he won't finish the 08-09 Debut Patch set before I finish the 05-06 one, lol. Thanks again John. These ones bring me to 12/42 (28.57%) for this years set.
Now an unfortunate card that I received in the mail...
This one may not be with me for long. As you can see, it has a significant amount of damage running down the middle from a seller who shipped it in a folded team bag and a 'card saver', no penny sleeve, no thick top loader. Hopefully paypal will side with me and I'll get my money back, but for now the card is mine. More from this set shortly...

Fresh from Japan. These were mailed from r-b21 (the site I made a post about a few weeks ago asking if anyone understood Japanese) on Saturday and arrived on Tuesday. That is pretty remarkable shipping time from Japan if you ask me. I never did learn Japanese, but I was able to get in touch with the site by email and told them the cards I wanted to buy. They took care of the rest and now here they are...
Part of the skate from the Penguins logo! These 2 bring me to 51/54 (94.44%) with only the Vanek, Phaneuf, and Bourque left to go.
Comments are always appreciated. Thanks for the look if you managed to make it through all that.
(Also, these were scanned using my new scanner so I don't know how they will turn out on your screen)
