Corruption
Registered Trader
Thought I'd throw some alliteration up there. It's so hard to be creative anymore.
The main chunk of mail comes from my man, Bryan (bryanstarock) who was super kind enough to throw in the Potvin, Hale and Stajan, when he only had to make up $5 in BV. What a guy. He rules. Fleury has been offered to a few people but nothing set in stone yet so it is FT/FS...as are all the others, excluding Mr. Thornton. I like this one.
The Hull came at a cheap price and is for sale. The Jagr Ice Gold came from Neal (nealp) - not sure if he is on this site but he is a great trader - at last weeks Trader's Night. I had exams that week and this one so I couldn't do anything online until a couple days ago.
I got the top five cards from eBay in a terribly titled lot with a decent BIN ($10). I used it for the Tellqvist, and the others came with it so they are all FT as well. I would prefer to sell the Tellqvist however.
I also received lots of inserts/base that I needed for various sets. Only thing FT is the BAP Bouwmeester RC, but it is a cheapy.
I'm hoping to go to the Old Timers game on Monday, and it would be nice to meet Dougy and get some cards signed. I've been before and met all the guys who are regulars, but he has never been here before (not that I am aware of anyway), so it'd be neat to see a new face. Perhaps some new on-ice antics as well. The pie-in-the-face, penatly-shot-with-ministicks, rocket-on-skates routine gets old after so many years...and I'm still a kid! Haha.
Nothin' spectacular, but I thought I'd share regardless.
As a side note, does anyone else have this "problem"? When I receive a package from within Canada, if stamps are used, they almost never come stamped over. So they are perfectly re-usable. Just this week, on three pacakges I received $3 worth of stamps, and a letter from ITG with one $0.50 unstamped stamp, that I promptly re-used on packages that I sent out Wednesday and Thursday. And that's only this week. It happens to me on a regular basis.
The downside with this is that I cannot confirm when something was sent out. In the case of the Hull above, I am sure that it was sent out late (late as in a week), but I have no way to prove that, so I cannot call them out on it. Even the few packages from the States that I receive with stamps are often left untouched...I just don't get it. I don't have a problem with re-using stamps because they keep raising the price, and I think it is their fault for not cancelling them - I just benefit from it.
Is this a unique situation I am in? Does it happen on a consistent basis to others or do the mail people just like me? Should I stop whining and keep my mouth shut about it or what?
Anyway, I'm done talking. Jordan.

The Tellqvist is really nice too. 
So, it's not just you.

My bad. Thanks a lot!
