Thomas Chabot run...
Little side project. I came into what you think would be the hardest card to get on a nice trade with someone on e-pack (30th anniversary 1/1)... which prompted me to go for the full run. I've never been a printing plate collector, but I may have to now? I like the Heritage Classic photo as...- Orvy

Wow... easily my biggest ePack pull ever!
Yesterday, pulled this from 1 pack of Credentials... still gets the heart going looking at it today... Thanks for the look, good luck with your ePack breaks! Still not sure what I'll do with the card. Getting closer to Xmas... could use the funds from the sale of this beauty.- Orvy

2019-20 OPC Platinum box... triple autos?
Couldn't believe the box of platinum I opened at MLS here in Calgary last Friday. I pulled my auto very early on... 3rd pack maybe, rainbow Nathan Bastian. Not overly thrilled with that (sorry Nathan's mom). Then a few more in... a redemption popped out... Max Jones auto. Hey, bonus auto...- Orvy

Pack of 2018-19 Ultimate
Stopped in at Maple Leaf Sports yesterday, decided to do a one pack attempt at Ultimate again this year. Odds were slim... but hoping for Brady Tkachuk to show up. Let's just say... Friday the 13th's hold nothing on me for bad luck. not bad... but the big card... . . . . . . . . . . . :D ...- Orvy

Trade night at Maple Leaf Sports
Unfortunately, the weather kept some of our farther trade night friends from making it in. We must have record snowfall over the last 30 days... it's been nuts here. Some new faces were there and we got into some snake breaks and pack wars. Glad I went in on one snake brake that included UD...- Orvy

Couple cracks at Leaf ITGU...
Over that last two weeks I had an itch for some vintage... here's the results (picked up @ Maple Leaf Sports in Calgary). First pack was a little iffy (despite the dual auto), but the second was much better. Just my opinion though, let me know what you think... thanks for looking, good...- Orvy

Pack of new Masked Men
Fairly happy, love the Hall auto /3 and the six jersey Red Wings with vintage Sawchuk. Testing out my new flickr... so hopefully this link shows up as a picture. (update: did a bit of digging... found how to do this with google photos)- Orvy

2nd pack of Lumber Kings
Another nice pack. I don't like to compare that often, but when the price of this was just $20 Cdn more than a box of UD1, which, if you don't pull Matthews YG or a case hit, you are getting e-pack value back. Easy decision to spend the extra 20. Upper Deck... step up your game. Lower your...- Orvy

16-17 Artifacts... got an "I" on the prize!
I was at MLS last night to see some opening night breaks of Cup... saw a McDavid red-tag-RPA #/4, red auto... pulled. Sweet. Then of course the group break at 6pm... another Connor came out, Gretzky-McDavid dual auto patch, smokin' card! I got shut-out on the group break, but that happens...- Orvy

Another Calgary card show thread
I have to make it out to these more often and stop being so lazy on my weekend off, lol. I committed a couple months ago and took a spin down to Grey Eagle Casino hotel for the Card Show. Great time, I got to talk to a lot of the usual suspects and met some new folks I've only seen from the...- Orvy

Canada Post Great Forwards...
Decided to get a pack... I saw a couple people on the boards with beginner's luck, so why not? A book of six $1.80 stamps (average bubbler mailer in Canada) costs the same. If you don't get the 1 in 40 packs auto, you can use the stamps, doesn't cost anything really. First pack of hockey...- Orvy

2015-16 Champs... giving me the Blues?
Stopped by Maple Leaf Sports for my Friday fix on the way home... decided to try a box of Champs. I continue to pull St.Louis cards, I'd be stoked if I could pull Ottawa as much. Anyway here's the four hits (some nice parallels and sp's I'll list some after): Silver version Jake Allen #/25...- Orvy
