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


Aho:
Hoping Aho flourishes even more with his buddy Mikko by his side
I like attempting a rainbow to some extent. Like the Pop Counts so trying to get em all


Sanderson:
Just one Sanderson this time round, but a quality one

Almost a jersey #, normally would be but Geoff had to wear 18 in Van City
Burke:

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

Speaking of great Whaler goalies, here's the other
Liut:
2023 Clear Cut had some 2021 Update Liuts and couldn't grab em fast enough!


Time to finish off with The Franchise
Francis:
I don't usually bother with non Whaler issues post retirement, but as I said earlier, love chasing rainbows
New Artifacts, many variations




In order: Foilboard Silver, Foilboard Gold, Neon Green, Silver Base /999, Ruby /399, Emerald /149. Copper /99, Orange /75, Yellow /50, Pink /35
There's still like 5 or 6 more...oh my what did I get myself into
Non Rainbow, no Whaler Ronnies:
1995 Francis Upper Deck - Electric Ice Gold / 2000 Francis O-Pee-Chee - Topps Foil / 2002 Francis Topps eTopps

2003 Francis SPx Hall Pass Limited 25 / 2023 Francis Engrained Oak 299

Man those Electric Ice Gold were/are so tough to find
Always wanted an eTopps never pulled trigger til now
Never saw a Hall Pass /25 before, 22 years later now I can roam the school with one
Francis - Whaler Edition
Now down to the meat of the post
Synergy!!
Base Red, without Bounty Code and with Unscratched Code

Speaking of Bounty - Gold Bounty Redemption /25

And first Ronnie Auto in a while
Purple Auto /35

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

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!
