    A Mail Post for the Keepers of the Cup -- Late-June 2014

    A Junior-league White Whale Set (and other mail for late May 2014)

    I've always kept my list of "most wanted cards" limited to NHL releases, but I know in the back of my mind that there are a few non-NHL items that are legitimately at the top of my wantlist. This mail post contains just that kind of card, and more than one -- but you'll have to wait to the end...

    Rookie Mail Post for Early-May 2014

    The playoffs for my favorite teams have come and gone. For the Lightning, it was a quick and surprisingly painless exit -- only in the fourth game did it look like they had any sort of fighting chance. For the Blue Jackets, the three games in Columbus were some of the most entertaining (if...

    A Mail Post a Few Weekes in the Making (for mid-April 2014)

    Rookies are the focus for most of this mail post, but there are a few interesting player collection items at the end, including one that I think is a huge addition to my third-largest player collection! Mail Post #6 for 2014 ------------------------------------------------------- 2011 Upper...

    The 2014 Mid-March Minor-League Mail Post

    Nostalgia and obscure player collections are the focus for this mail post, anchored by a large purchase of minor/junior cards from Armchair Sports. A few other items arrived from ebay, and one of my favorite Hobby Insider trading partners came through to help yet again. Mail Post #4 for 2014...

    Mix of Mail for Mid-December 2013

    This will be one of my last posts of the year, and it's a bit of an unthemed mix of cards for various collections. There are a couple HI contributions to this mail post, which always makes things better! Mail Post #22 for 2013 ------------------------------------------------------- 10-11 ITG...

    Mail Post Brought To You By H.I. (early-December '13)

    I don't have any high-end cards in this mail post, and there isn't a single new player collection addition in the batch. What makes this post special is that it's brought to you entirely by the membership of Hobby Insider -- with six big transactions having just been completed! Mail Post #21...

    The Big December 2013 Sergei Samsonov Mail Post

    My original player collection is the focus for this mail post, but there will be a few other items mixed in, primarily from deals that included Samsonov items along with other cards. The biggest change for my Samsonov collection in quite a while has occurred in the past few months, with ITG...

    The Big November 2013 Tim Thomas Mail Post

    This post is several months in the making, but it's been worth the effort. I'm admittedly indifferent about Tim Thomas' return to the NHL (in part because I do not like the Florida Panthers at all). However, my quest to collect his cards continues along anyway, and these are the most recent...

    Yet Another Random Mail Post for Mid-November 2013

    This mail post is a little bit of a stop-gap, as my intention was to have my next two posts themed to my Tim Thomas and Sergei Samsonov collections. However, I'm still waiting for a few more nice items to arrive in the mail, so for now, I'll clear out the rest of my backlog. This post is mainly...

    Possible Shiller or Just Coincidence?

    I'll refrain from putting the person's username in the topic title, at least for now. Here's the evidence. I was watching this auction, and thought the card sold pretty well -- maybe too well. I didn't think anything of it until finding the same card listed again, by the same seller --...

    Top Prospects and Failed Prospects / Mail for mid-October 2013

    This mail post is a bit of a mix of stuff, as I end yet another brief (and unplanned) break from trading. When things get busy, or if I have to travel, I find that cards are one of the first things to take a back seat. Once things settle down, I'm happily back into it! Mail Post #16 for 2013...
