    End-of-2015 Mail Post and Favorites

    This has been, by far, my slowest-ever year in the hobby -- a result of a half-intentional half-natural slowing down of my collecting and purchasing. So, let's close it out with a giant-sized mail post that has a lot of awesome stuff -- pack breaks, rookie cards, and a few really nice player...

    The June 2015 Tim Thomas Mail Post

    It's a good time to be a fan of the Tampa Bay Lightning -- just two wins away from a championship, losing to a Blackhawks team that looked like they'd have happily taken on the 83-84 Edmonton Oilers. It's an awful time to be a Tampa Bay Lightning rookie collector, which is why my collecting...

    ...and Howe! A 2015 Mid-March Mailpost

    This is my favorite type of mail post -- one that is focused mainly on player collection items, which I still see as the heart of my collection. The final card in the post has been at the top of my wantlist since it was released, but before I get to the end, there are several other great cards...

    The Big End-of-2014 Tim Thomas Mail Post -- Part One

    I didn't originally plan it out this way, but I'm going to end the year with two heavily-themed mail posts, focused on one of my largest collections: Tim Thomas. I haven't posted any new Tim Thomas items in my mail posts since the end of July, so this is basically a comprehensive review of every...

    Dave's Rookies and Cory's Ultimate Brilliance -- a Mail Post for Mid-December 2014

    The majority of this mail post will pick up from where the last one left off: a huge batch of cards from Dave Rearick. This assortment is dominated by a wide arrange of RCs, stretching from the early 70s to the just-finished 13-14 product year. There's just enough room at the end of the post for...

    Early November 2014 Mail and Picture Post

    The 2013-14 hockey card year has finally ended, but there won't be anything from The Cup in this mail post. This batch of cards is quite a mix -- minor league issues, NHL rookies, and an interesting slate of player collection items. Mail Post #15 for 2014...
