Hey Gang, everyone feeling Kool, like it's 1979?!

OK last night was Whalers Night

Canes rockin' the Whalers throwback, always a treat, especialy when they win

The sweaters only make an appearance twice a year but in my mailbox it's more like twice a week.

Have to start off with some Red Canes before we see some Green

I like attempting a rainbow to some extent. Like the Pop Counts so trying to get em all

2 additions in the past 2 months, almost unheard of at this point

I'll throw this Kelloggs keeper of the Cage in here since Burkie was the keeper of the cage in '96

Last, but not least, I need to finish off this post with some very special cards


Got a preview of these a while back, and our resident Whaler Maniac and Custom Creator Extraordinaire,
Big Barracuda Glenn, was generous enough to give these beauties a new home



1982 1983 Whalers FWA x 4 F.webp 1990-1995 Whalers FWA x 4 F.webp

Glenn did such a fabulous job on these and of course I absolutely love them. Thanks again Big Guy!!

Sorry for the long winded post, this new format I think I'll like now that I am used to it

That's the last 2 months worth. 40 photo limit so had to leave a couple minor ones out, LOL

We will see what next post brings around May - playoff time!!!

Cheers!

Really nice pickups. I forgot all about eTopps and being able to pick up a Tall Boys gold has to feel good.
 
Nicely done Geofferson! Loving the green of course, and I didn't even know those Liuts were out there! It gives me something to pursue LOL. Glad the FWA's landed safe and sound!
