Not quite a Show and Tell so I'm placing here. Mods, please move if you feel it's appropriate :).

Seems like I spoke to soon in the Show and Tell thread when I said I was finished my Jets auto and jersey sets.

Figuring I should do one final check, I put my Wiki to work and have been doing a run through the all-time Jets roster one more time to be safe.

Along the way I spotted four autographs (so far) that I missed on the first go around: Gerry Odrowski, Tim Watters (don't know how I missed that one!), Tom Bladon and Jeff Finley.

So a minor setback, but not inconquerable (already have the Finley incoming and have an offer out on Odrowski).

But karma really kicked my tuchus on the mem side.

First, I came across Jude Drouin's lone jersey card - in ITG's '72 series - a dual w/Clarke #/10!

So virtually impossible, but still had a possibility of being unearthed, right?

Well, the next shot was the death knell on the collection:

Yep, Simon freakin' Wheeldon.

Played only 4 games with the Jets yielding 0 points and 4 PIMS. His other 11 games in the NHL were with the Rangers where he produced 2 assists.

I feel my OCD coming on... better scoot.
