[terry1hockeyfan]

It wasn a pretty succesgul year collecting wise. You will see a few themes in numbers as it was too tough to separate and of course to share some variety.

10. Messier eBay pick up. I love these Artifacts autos.

7. A pair of Mr. Hockey autos. These could have easily been my number one due to the amazing generosity of HI's own Glenn Connors (BigBarracuda). after just missing out on Dr' Price's initial offering, Glenn offered me his pair at cost. I will be forever grateful and am still blown away at this amazing act of kindness. Thank you again, Glenn! :beer:

6. A pair of Bobby Orr's - one from eBay and the auto is from one of the shows Jeremy hosted with some sellers offering their cards.

5. A trio of OPC Dryden rookies. Purchased one from the first virtual Expo, sorry can't remember the seller, traded for one with HI member Matt (Breakaway Dealz), and purchased the third one, the PSA 6 from Colin at the second virtual Expo. I might have to grade the two ungraded ones.

4. Phil Esposito rookie - I always wanted one of these.

3. Maurice "The Rocket" Richard rookie - A facebook purchase. This card is extremely tough to find in decent condition. I know it is KSA, but the price was right and I love this card.

2. Four Topps Wayne Gretzky rookies. The ungraded one is a minimum size rq that was part of a lot with an OPC rookie in the last Classic auction. The three graded cards were from a guy in my neighborhood who contacted me after hearing I collected from a local business man.

I'm a might partial to those Dryden RCs.

Although there is nothing wrong with a bunch of OPC & Topps Gretzky RCs. :banana:

All the best to you and yours in 2021 and thanks for the show.

The Gretzky's are 'Great' of course, but the Dryden's and the Richard are the ones that really caught my eye. Congrats - what a year!
