Hello everyone,

For our international members, this weekend is Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada. Rather than showing my recent additions, I'll save those for next month and instead I'll show off some cards which members of the forum have helped me acquire over my time here, to say thank you in the spirit of Thanksgiving. If you have helped me acquire cards in the past and do not see your contributions here, rest assured it was not intentional to leave you out and I appreciate your efforts all the same. This is just the past help with I could remember at the time of this post. Without further adieu, here is the help I'd like to recognize in no particular order:

Kari Lehtonen Victory Black

I had numerous members alert me of this listing a few months ago not only on the foums, but also on facebook. Within a matter of minutes spent negotiating with the seller, the deal was done and on its way to me. To everyone who reached out, I appreciate those messages and please keep up the great work!

High Gloss card of Cassels and Friesen

This facebook member alerts me whenever he comes across cards for my sets, including these two HG additions. Keep the great tips coming, they are a valuable contribution to my sets and I couldn't do it without you and others like you, who keep me updated on new listings. The Cassels is the only one to date that I've seen.

Lundqvist Rookie Threads Auto Parallel /10 and Khabibulin UD Patch /15

I'd like to extend a thank you to the Albertan member who helped me acquire these two priceless cards from a local kijiji seller. The lundqvist has been on so many Lundqvist collectors wantlists that I've seen, I couldn't pass it up. Through futher conversation with the seller, he let me know he had a khabibulin patch card from the set I was working on. To this day I have yet to see a nicer patch from this issue for Khabibulin. Without the aide of the HI member, these would not be sitting in my collection, so to you I say thank you for your help!

Victory Black Lubomir Vishnovsky

This card I found while doing a google image search which lead me to a German card website. In order for me to buy this card without paying an insane shipping fee, this German forum member helped me out by shipping from his address directly and saved me quite a bit of money. With cards as limited as the victory black parallels, how you acquire each and every one leaves an imprint in your memory and this one is no different. So thank you very much for your help!

High Gloss Leopold and Robitaille Patch

I'd like to extend a thank you to this Albertan forum member who helped me acquire these cards from a local kijiji listing a while ago. Having visited Calgary this past year, I had no idea how big the city was and who knows how far out-of-his-way he went to meet the seller in person, complete the deal and ship the cards to me. So for your efforts I'd like to extend a thank you and let you know that I appreciated your help.

High Gloss Stuart and Stempniak Hot Prospects White

This forum member has not only alerted me to various listings for my sets, but has also gifted me with cards for my sets and I greatly appreciate every single one. Examples of his recent generous donations to my sets include the high gloss Brad Stuart and Lee Stempniak HP White Parallel /5 pictured below. So to you I'd like to extend a thank you, its greatly appreciated!

Crosby and Ovechkin High Gloss BGS 9

These two card could not have been acquired without the help of a couple of B.C. members of the forum who went out of their way to alert me of a local craigslist ad and also meet, transfer and ship the cards to me. I have never forgotten their efforts in helping a college student acquire his two most wanted and sought after dream cards all those years ago. So to those two members I'd like to say thank you! :)

To all those members who have aided me in the past, whether a transaction was completed or not, thank you for your time and efforts. With my collecting ambitions featuring very limited cards, I would not have a hope of completing them without your help, so thank you to the collecting community and I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!
 
The Ovie and Sid YG HG are cards that can define a generation. Fantastic job landing everything shown here and its really cool to read about the manners in which you got some. Your thread helped pique my curiosity about Kijiji, as I had totally forgotten about being that I live in the US. In doing some random searches for the players I collect. I came across some decent stuff to my surprise such as a really nice Kovalchuk signed Artwork piece /17 & a Spezza Game Used Windsor Spitfire Jersey and a pretty rare Spezza card that I don't think i've seen in 8 years.

But most importantly, I came across this listing that has a nice 05/06 Joe Sakic UD Game Jersey PATCH /15. If you don't already have one, maybe you can somehow land this one. Good luck =)
