Well hey there kids. Thought I'd drop in and say hello after such a long time away.
Some of you don't even know me. That's okay. I used to own this joint for a few years, and was pretty deep in the hobby for awhile. Alas, life catches up to you at times and you need to make decisions in the best interest of your personal life, and a site like this specifically. All in all, it's been pretty good the last while.
For those who do know me, hi! I'm still picking up the odd Richard Brodeur piece and, if I ever see one or Kevin tells me about something cool, even a Harold Snepsts one. The Paul Henderson collection is pretty stagnant, although there are a couple of Leaf Metal cards I'm missing. Vachon is gone, and eventually a whole pile of other cards will be too. Didn't realize how much of a hoarder I was
I've started dabbling in silver coins and scotch over the past year or two. That's been fun, and at times expensive! It's cool to see how other collectibles have become investments as well. Worth checking out if you haven't... and if you have, let's chat about them! Always love talking collectibles!
My biggest change was the purchase of a pub not far from my house on Vancouver Island. It's called The Lion Rampant Scottish Pub and it's truly the only Scottish pub east of Toronto. So get your butts over here and let's have a dram of scotch and talk hockey cards! The invite is open. To date, only two HIers have been here - kmitchel and langway05 - so that's pretty poor attendance so far (although it was VERY cool to see those two guys!).
Otherwise, hope the rest of you are doing well. I'm not around here much, but you can always send me a note on Facebook or, if you have my number, send me a text. Take care all!

P.S. It's still kinda weird that I don't own the place anymore. Hmmm.
