    An Ultimate Saturday Afternoon

    A rainy Saturday afternoon found me and Calgarybluenote in the friendly confines of Maple Leaf Sports with the friendly and enthusiastic Jenn (seems Darren decided he'd enjoy the rain and cold so much better in the wilderness in a camper :| ). I have long ago learned to "never say never", as I...

    Some Sweet Shots

    Over the last few weeks, between trading nights at Darren's (Maple Leaf Sports) and just spending an hour there on Saturday afternoon with Steve (Calgarybluenote), I've opened a bit of 07-08 Sweet Shot. Been pretty lucky with it so far, also having pulled some good stuff last year. Earlier last...

    Many numbered parallels and inserts for sale; player/team collectors take a look...

    I have recently been culling a lot of numbered parallels from sets. I show scans of a typical card from the set and for each I list the card number, player, serial number, BV, asking price. 99.9% NOT interested in trades, but can be swayed if you have limited-print Leafs stuff. BV will apply...

    A few good boxes of Hot Prospects

    I don't normally post box breaks, but these had me ever-so-slightly delighted. After dropping by the best local card hangout yesterday, I bought a few boxes of Mini-Jerseys for my son and a couple of boxes of 07-08 Hot Prospects for myself... a set I've liked doing for the three years it's been...

    Calling Crowncarrier...

    Hey Scott, I'm trying to respond to our continuing PM thread, but I'm getting the dreaded "crowncarrier has exceeded their stored private messages quota and can not accept further messages until they clear some space" message. LMK when there's room... Michael.

    Away for awhile

    My wife and I are going away for about 2 weeks starting today, so I will be out of touch from HI during that time. If I have any outstanding threads or deals, I hope I have dealt with them, but please don't give up on me if there's something I've missed. I'm good on my word and will still see...

    NHL uniforms through time...

    Just browsing through SI at lunch and found this interesting photo essay. It's not all-encompassing, but it touches on some of the old and new NHL uniforms. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/0709/nhl.uniforms.old.and.new/content.1.html Michael.

    Nice? ORR what?

    Those of you who have dealt with me know I don't often post my breaks, but I'm making one of my rare exceptions. Yesterday I dropped into my favourite shop, Maple Leaf Sports here in Calgary. What makes it such a favourite? Well, Darren's a terrific proprietor who actually seems excited at his...

    The BAP fun just keeps on coming....

    Had to see if the BAP gods were still smiling on me after Wednesday's heaven-sent, 1-of-1 evening, so on Friday went to Maple Leaf Sports once again to open just one box... The photos can speak for themselves: Now the next card might be highly desired by a few on this board, but I've...

    */999...good ... */99... even better ... 1/1... Jackpot!!!

    I was so disappointed in last year's BAP I swore never again, even though autos are my favourite form of card. But this year's is so much better in my opinion, I learned very quickly to "Never Say Never". So, last week when the product first came out, I opened 3 boxes at Collector's Paradise...

    Help on 05-06 UD Ice

    Usually I can figure out pretty well what card is what and which parallel is which, but this one has this old guy stumped. I have pictured two 05-06 UD Ice Fresh Ice swatches. The Lehtonen is the regular Fresh Ice jersey card and has a BV of $8. I have a lot just like this one. However, the...

    Going For Gold strikes Gold

    Calgary Bluenote (Steve) and I walked over to Julie's store today (Collector's Books and Cards) here in downtown Calgary to do our usual weekly gab & gawk. Met with the regular gang to talk about Sweet Shot, SPA Rookies, Ultimate, Shea Weber, the price of oil vs. the price of gasoline, blah...

    Perry for Getzlaf

    I pulled this 05-06 SPA Perry patch/auto from this year's SPA #003/100..... looks like the patch came from the old "DUCKS" shoulder patch seen here http://www.sportslogos.net/logo.php?lo=8. Unfortunately, we collect Ryan Getzlaf in this household. Soooooo....... I'm looking for someone who'd...

    Well, the draft redemptions from the NHLPA are pretty darn good...

    A bubble envelope came today, holding three '03 redemptions, 3 Crosby apology cards and $15 US. It's been a long time coming, but the cards are quite good, on very thick stock, and possibly the best factor of all, no quality issues. The Vanek stays in the PC, but the Coburn and Kost*tsyn...

    A little BTP story

    I was in Maple Leaf Sports here in Calgary the other night, busting some Beehive as I do every year at this time. Working towards the yearly master set, which keeps me continually busy for years down the road. Well, 4 boxes didn't give me much in the way of excitement, maybe a few I needed...
