    Franchises Kurri - 20 Years Later

    I have always had a soft spot for that product. Of course, the Leafs are my target! Great persistence on your part. Michael.

    Patience. Patience. Patience.

    Over 10 years ago when I was still opening wax, I purchased a lot of Panini. I liked the competition to UD, the re-emergence of old product lines, and the emphasis on older players in some of their products. I pulled a Kelly Hrudey Social Signatures redemption, never to materialize in hard copy...

    Help needed identifying 2015-16 Champ's variation

    I have a McDavid Rookie from 2015-16 Champ's and, despite searching the board and doing some online research, I'm not sure if this is a gold front variation only or a dual gold front and gold back variation. Please help. I will ultimately be looking to sell, perhaps grading in the meantime...

    Calgary-area members only (for now)

    I have a 3200-card box of Maple Leafs autos, memorabilia, rookies, both veterans/HOFers and scrubs that I want to sell - either individually or as a lot. Also have rookie collections of players such as Steen, Stajan, and all the other mid/late 2000's and early 2010's "can't miss" Leafs...

    Couldn't have let him play another 11 to hit Ironman streak of 1000 games?

    Yandle expected to be a healthy scratch. Why not let him play as the Flyers are out of the running this year anyway, even sparingly? Yes, it's for the good of the team, yada yada yada, but there is the good of the game and its history as well. Maybe I'm too much of an old softie... :peace...

    Sports card frenzy hits mainstream media

    from CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/12/investing/baseball-cards-markets/index.html I guess the word is REALLY out now. :crazy: Michael.

    Grading McDavid

    Simple question: is it worth getting a McDavid rookie graded if it's not high-end? I have his regular rookie from UD Champ's and wondering if it's of any value to have it done if I want to move it. thanks, M.

    shout out to Upper Deck

    It doesn't happen often that I read flattering comments about certain card manufacturers, but I want to credit Upper Deck... I bought some Leafs Centennial product long after the party ended and pulled two long-expired auto redemptions. What the heck? I'll redeem them anyway. Yesterday in my...

    How to present tradelists

    Hi all, I'm trying to unload 20 years of traders including rookies, autos, memorabilia, etc. I've seen all sorts of ways of posting these and they're either too long to read through or take up so much scrolling and reading that it's tough for an old guy to get through them without falling...

    1997-98 Pinnacle Be A Player

    This is one of those "every 5 year autograph sets" I like collecting. Amazing how, looking back, young players then are HOF members now... Anyway I'm near completion on the entire set and need just a few to complete: 1 Lindros 18 Berard 247 Mogilny 248 Bourque 249 Belfour 250 LeClair If you...

    2001-02 BAP Signature Series.

    This is a product I have been chipping away at since the early 2000's and as I look at it now, I realize I need just a few. For base (rookies) I need: 237 Ribiero 244 Peterson For autos they are all short/super short prints and one of the "hard to finds": 21 Brent Johnson (I would be just ok...

    Anybody out there STILL trying to complete 2003-04 Topps c55?

    One of my most coveted sets is the 2003-04 Topps C55. Even bought a cheap original from 1911 to complement the set! Still missing a few of the shorter-printed minis and two relics (Niedermayer and Lemieux: the Lemieux I've only seen one ever and that was 15 years ago). I have lots of traders...
