    Larry Murphy - The Wraparound: Ending 2025 And Starting 2026 With A Bang

    Hey everyone, Joe P the Larry Murphy Guy here. I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year's. 2025 was an interesting year for my collection. It started out on a high note, not with particularly high-end cards but with a few tough low-numbered issues I hadn't expected to land anytime...

    Looking for direction on Canada-US shipping

    Hey there hobby peeps, Joe P here again. As we try to navigate the minefield that is cross-border shipping now, I'm looking for advice from anyone who has real world experience shipping from Canada to the US in the present day. I recently won a Canadian-based Ebay listing for friend and HI's...

    Joe's End Of Summer Larry Murphy Roundup

    Hey all from Joe Pawich again. I hope collecting has been treating you all well. Here we are at the calendar end of our 2025 summer, and the end of another 2-month block means another 2-month Show and Tell for me. First off, let's just say business has been slow. Is it due to shipping...

    Larry Murphy At The Halfway Mark

    Hi again from Joe P. A happy belated Canada Day to my fellow Canadians and a happy Independence Day to all those who celebrate it. Since I've been showing my 2025 pickups in 2-month installments, I figured I'd continue that trend as we turn the page to the back half of 2025. Do my past 2...

    2 More Months Of (Larry) Murphy Mail

    Hey all, Joe P the Larry Murphy Guy here. Been 2 months since my first S+T of 2025 and just wanted to check in with the next installment. Had a few lulls and certainly didn't end up with the same quality as January-February, but thought outside the box a bit and did ok for numbers. Judge for...

    Out With The Old, In With The New - 2025 Larry Murphy Pickups Through February

    Hey all, I wanted to thank everyone who commented on my last S+T here and offered their well wishes. 2024 was certainly a year to forget for me personally. I've continued to try to leave it behind and take my life back but wondered how the start of 2025 would treat me and my collection. Since...

    Larry Murphy Year End Wrap-up (aka "Don't let the door hit you on the way out, 2024"

    Hi again from Joe Pawich, everyone. Been a while. So what happened since I left you at the halfway mark of 2024? Well, I see we recently underwent an ownership change here. I for one welcome our new overlord, thank Jeremy for his years of leadership and look forward to his continued...

    A 2024 Halfway Mark/Canada Day Larry Murphy S+T

    Hey all, Joe P the Larry Murphy Guy here. Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians and a happy early Independence Day to our American members. Been a while since I've done this so I might be a little rusty, but since we've officially crossed the halfway mark of 2024, I thought I'd get you...

    End of 2023 Larry Murphy Roundup

    Greetings, everyone. I hope Hobby Santa was good to you and you all stepped into 2024 on a high note. It appears I last did this in June, at a time when adding to the PC was like pulling teeth. With the market being slow to correct itself after the Covid card boom, and both Ebay and the...

    Can't Find A White Whale? Build Your Own Barracuda: A Larry Murphy S+T

    Well, it's Joe Pawich the Larry Murphy Guy, and I'm back. A bit later than I expected to be. The last few years have been extremely slow for my PC. Cards I could use are still showing up, but often at prices higher than my arbitrary internal budget. I can and will make exceptions for special...

    The Last Days of 2022 Larry Murphys

    So where was I? Ah yes, I was beaming at the addition of my most recent cornerstone card: 19/20 Engrained Dual Stick Nameplates #DSNGM Mike Gartner/Larry Murphy 1/1 by primetimepawich, on Flickr A definite turning point in the year for me hobby-wise. Most of 2022 had been a relatively dry...

    Murphy Collecting Universe (MCU) 2022 Release - Stick Around For The End Credits

    Hey all, Joe Pawich here again. Been a few months since I've done this so let's see if I remember how, shall we? Last year was very much a down year for my collection, and for the most part, 2022 has been much of the same. The reason you haven't seen many S+Ts out of me is because quite...

    When You Want Something Done Right (A Custom Story)

    A little backstory: About 9 years ago (God, has it been that long?) it came to my attention that there was a niche hole in my Larry Murphy collection - a card recognizing his successful Memorial Cup-winning junior career with the Peterborough Petes. ITG had just come out with their Draft...

    The Gift of Cardboard

    Merry Christmas, happy holidays and an early happy New Year to all. Normally, this would be the time where I'd be highlighting my top 10 pickups with a year-end Show and Tell, but...what can I say? It's been the kind of year that doesn't warrant it. Honestly, this has been the worst year ever...

    2021 At The Halfway Mark

    Hey everyone. Dunno how things are where y'all are at, but it's hot as hell here in Calgary. So while I unsuccessfully try to cool down beside a fan, I figured I'd try to catch you up on how the hobby has treated me in the first half of 2021. How "has" it treated me? In short, not well...

    Wrapping Up 2020 With A Final Larry Murphy S+T

    Hey all. I'd ask how everyone was doing, but...you know. 2020. We've all been there, done that, got the T-shirt. We're about to turn the page on this miserable year, which means it's time for a year-end Show and Tell. I put this off as long as I could, hoping for a Christmas miracle and a...

    Out Of Boredom And Nostalgia Came An Instant PC

    Not gonna lie...outside of a few premium pickups, my beloved Larry Murphy collection has been a dud this year. I've still got my eye on stuff and pick away when I can, but it's been slow, REAL slow. So needless to say, I've been bored. I'm part of a hockey autograph collectors group on...

    Some HI Help Tops A Meagre Haul
