Well,
the cool kids go out friday night,
I sit here and watch the raptors, and post some mail for you all to glance at.

Start out with the oddball/wrong sport.

I couldn't give you a good reason why I bought those.
But I did.
They were cheap, there's a reason, the two blue jays got damaged on their way here me = notoverly impressed.

Next up, big lot of stuff from many different sources.

GO clockwise.
Luxury suite - From quincy, you da man! That stick swatch is neat, beats the wood one I've got, shame I can't combine the pair, the other has a 3 clr swatch. Either way, Thanks man!

Conklin cdn exclusive - ebay, guy musta butchered my address as it was returned to him and then on it's way here, I'm just glad it made it.

Wellwood AHL (and imagine a staal there too) = From Shawn, Thanks again man, I, and Glenn will undoubtably enjoy the cards. I've got some floppy's for you, thatyou prolly have, but, no less. drop me a pm. (while there's space)

Continuing clockwise - hemsky spa, messier 89-90 team scoring leaders, and gretzky trading card day. All c/o Mark Caskey, Mark never ceases to amaze me with his generosity, Those silvers are paid for and should be on their way to me, soon as they arrive, they'll be on their way to you. I might look at the fuhr for awhile though :) Big thank you to Mark.

Lastly,
Smyth cdn exclusive, from ebay, pretty good price for a /25. add it to the slowly growing smyth collection. Not as slow as my Tucker collection, which has layers of dust on it from lack of activity.

Last mail, 2nd last photo.

These are from the Flyers team set that they send out to people who ask.
I didn't, these came from ebay, Some fool keeps trying to sell a set for 15$, never sells.

I only really want the Comrie, so if you want the others, they're all FT.
They are slightly larger than postcards. 5x7 to be exact I think, size of a normal photo.


And lastly.
This is for wes as he asked earlier about a couple Tuckers.
2nd row, 2nd and 3rd column bud.

One page from the Tucker section of the binder.


That's that.
I would also like to throw out a HUGE thank you to kjamidon;
As some of you know, and the most of you need to improve your detective skills, I was honoured by winning the sports talker of the year award on the site.
well, kj was gracious enough to send me some supplies as a prize for getting said honour. It's no surprise you won the most generous member award.
Big thanks to you man.


And that is my week long mailcall.
Expecting something nice in the next week or so, hopefully it arrives safely and promptly and I can show it to all of you.

take it easy.

oh!
almost forgot.
I got a pair of free AHL tickets from that RBK thing today.
Row 16 sec. 104 for the game with Hamilton v. Albany @ Copps.
I'm excited, free tickets, should be fun!
Thanks to RBK :D

And a thanks to the guy who posted the link on the spawn board.
I know someone did here aswell, but, I hooked up from the spawn board.
 
Phil,

Awesome mail day, man! That SPA Hemsky is lovely. :D

Can't wait to get my free tickets, now that I see that the promotion was for real. :D :D

Very nice Phil!!! I too watched some of the Raptors game...last I saw it was 40-28 for the good guys. Did they win?

THose Prosigs are pretty cool...I actually have the Wells. Are they any good? I like the design atleast...:o :)

Cool lot of Oilers aswell...that Hemsky is pretty sweet...nice addition to you collection for sure. :D

Thanks for the Tucker pic aswell. :) I deffinatly have the Emerald Green and Silver ones, like I thought. I'm pretty much finished my wantlist now, so you can compare it to yours and laugh and how much better you Tucker collection is....haha. :D
I should have it up by tonight...

Thanks again,
Wes
 
Raptors did indeed, pull out the win.
Couldn't tell ya if they prosigs are any good, basecards so, prolly not worth anything *shrugs*

heh, I'm sure it's a very good collection, but, you've been focusing on Stajan lately, like myself with Comrie, so they've both prolly been dwindling in the wind. ;)
 
haha,
Anytime really,
I know I'll have the car on Tuesday, Dentist appointment.
So I can then, I might bea bit more interesting as I'll be all chretien'd again.
But, aside from that, I'm the unemployed one, so i'm pretty flexible.
I'd say pm me, but it's full atm.
give that a half hour and I'll clean it up. ;)
 
Oh good, glad it arrived.

I had the cards sitting here, taking up space. I can either put them on eBay where some unappreciative heathen will get them...or I can send'em your way and improve upon your day. I went with the smart choice :D

I think they are, but they have been cherry picked from this set.
The ones pictured are the only ones I have, sorry :o

quincy :)
Thanks man, always appreciated.
They look nice in the pc too ;)

Cool, that's good. Not that I really care either way...ahh, I was just watching it to waste time before Baseball ST games start, haha. Only 6 days to go. :D I think I've asked you before, but do they show the games on TV? I'll probably end up just listening to them on the radio. Thats what I do in the summer usually anyways. Nothing is more relaxing then sitting outside on a warm summers day with a cold drink in hand listening to the Jays game. Can you tell I'm tired of winter??? :p ;)

Yeah, I guess so. Seeing has Tucker has no new cards really, there aren't a lot of new ones popping up for trade and stuff. Whereas with Stajan, I still only have a few of his so there are still loads out there. Although, I did get a new Tucker when you were "away". A BAP Original 6 jersey, really nice two colour swatch. Now I just need the Timelines and Stick/Jersey. Do you have either of those?

Hmm, I can't rambled there...seems like I always help turn your threads into random sports talk threads...haha...hope ya don't mind too much Phil. ;)

Wes
 
No worries,
keeps them alive ;)

I'm in the same boat as you with O6, have the jersey, need the fun stuff.
Everyone at the expo wanted ridiculous prices for the stk/jsy, the timeline wasn't too bad, but, *shrug*

The spring training games, I'm with ya 100% on the radio.
Tom and Jerry are my voices of summer, every since I was a little kid.
Didn't have cable growing up so it was the occasional CBC game and the rest all radio.
They show some ST games on TV but not many, closer to the end of the fun.
They haven't released their TV schedule, on their website anyway, so couldn't tell ya which ones yet ;) but there should be a couple.
First radio game in 7 days.
first game, as you say, on Friday.

Should be fun :)

Cool, glad you don't mind, :).

I don't think I've even seen a Stick Jersey, other than on ebay...they look really nice, but like you said, they are usually pretty expensive. :( I'm not a big fan of the Timelines set in general...I dunno...I think the fact that it's not only Tucker actually takes away from the card a bit. I'm not sure, but it's not really very high on my list of wants. If I see one at a decent price though, I'd deffinatly pick it up.

Yep, same here, I don't have cable, so it's pretty much all radio. A couple years ago CBC showed Blue Jays games every Friday night or something...then they switched to CFL football....yuck. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the CFL, but I wish they'd still show Baseball. I'm lucky enough though, I can usually catch quite a few Jays games at other peoples houses. Can't wait to listen to a few of the ST games if I get the chance...or watch them, which would be even better. :)

While I am at it, might aswell talk about some other stuff...haha. Did ya here that CBC fired Chris Cuthbert? There was a small write up about it in the Newspaper the other day...kinda came as a shock to me. I wonder who will be next??? I guess he is in the same boat as you now, eh Phil?

I had Hockey today...actually I play every Saturday...horrible game. I was on a breakaway and got hauled down, stupid ref didn't call anything. :mad: Then when some guy fell (it was hilarious) and our bench was all laughing he called a bench penalty or whatever it's called. :mad: Oh well, doesn't matter anyways, it's just for fun.

Wes
 
haha,
I wish I was even on the same cruise boat as Cuthbert, he's got nothing to worry about in regards to finding a new job.
I couldn't believe CBC fired him, of all the monkey's they have doing play by play, he was one of the best.
Oh well, s'how she goes I guess.

I have seen maybe, 1 stk jersey, guy wanted 48$ for it at the expo
waste of my time even asking when looking for that for that card.
I don't mind the timeline, would pick it up bc I'm a completist :o but, wish it wasn't vaive, that guy's a little proud of himself, if ya know what I mean.


Those Jays games on CBC were the best, they had the big digital effects intro, ball flying over the wall and all that jazz, that was my lifeline as there wasn't much more on tv.
Luckily I'm all cabled up now, so almost all the games are watchable.


That's funny you guys got a penalty for laughin at em,
BENCH MINOR, UNSPORTSMANLIKE LAUGHING AT THE POOR SKATER
haha,
I know how ya feel about not gettin calls, I've never played on a ICE hockey team (I know, just hockey) but I have played many a bal hockey game on a team and not getting calls there is just, aggrivating. Especially when ya get cheapshotted and nothing happens.
Number of times I got run into walls playing ball hockey @ school with no consequences, aside from me flipping out and goin after the guy. Ah well.

And the CFL rules! (not really) but I enjoy watching it, mostly argos, but, friday night football on TSN, is quite the franchise, and the CFL tends to be pretty competitive from top to bottom, so it's entertaining that way.
