In other news, my quitting the hobby is going as well as expected since Upper Deck decided to continue with the Honoured HooHa program for a 4th year.........














Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd I stopped into the LCS for sleeves and toploaders on the same day UD1 came out. So........ya know. $110 later, I had a Kevin Labanc Exclusives, a Draisaitl Game Jersey and six no-name Young Guns.
I did it to myself AGAIN. Every. Single. Time. Good thing I'm only happy when I'm miserable eh?

I love the look of the Honored Hopefuls, the black really makes them stand out.


Here's where you're wrong, sir, and I'll tell you why........

The relic cards, there's no issue there, they go straight from production into the packs. The autographs, however........ they get passed around from someone to someone else to sayyyyyyyyyy Steven Stamkos and back to someone to someone else and then into the packs and what you get then is a card with "speed lines" and yes you're right about the whole standing out thing I guess...............

We moved to B.C. in the winter of 1978, my dad got transferred by CN Rail ya see. He was a Intermodal supervisor, in charge of loading & unloading trains and trucks. One of the truckers had Canucks season tickets and he'd bribe my dad in order to get loaded first. And that's how I got to see a bunch of hockey games in 1981/82. In February of 1981 I got to see the dynasty Islanders, and 12 year-old me took this pic........












Today, I met Mike Bossy and...................

So week #8 ended last Sunday, but I haven't had time for much of anything....... the holiday season means my job's ramped up to 10-12 hours a day, I got home after work today and finally marked everything "shipped" and then left 346 feedbacks hahahahaa.....

PLUS back last Sunday we went out to a fancy circus/dinner at Queen Elizabeth Park called Bacio Rosso, which was completely nuts. There was a mini-orchestra, food, and acts in between the courses. A guy who'd fooled Penn & Teller twice on the TV did a card trick at our table!
