I started collecting Scottie Upshall the same day as my doctor's appointment.Back in 02 when the World Junior Championships was being held in Halifax.My family doctor  who had twin boys aged about 10 years old at the time were attending the tournament in Halifax. After one of the Team Canada games the boys wearing their jerseys supporting the Canadian Juniors were horsing around a bit.Then along come Scottie Upshall.And for no apparent reason started up a conversation with the twins.And before he left offered to sign their jerseys. So when my doctor told me this story I made up my mind at that moment that that is who I would collect.I just thought that here is a young man who was willing to take time and communicate with these two young kid.He has the right stuff to make him collectible to me.And for me I never looked back on him.It did not matter how many teams he has played for or for how long(only a month in Columbus).

To me it portrayed great morals and respect.This was new to me because I never did collect a hockey player.I always collect Frank Thomas as PC guy.But that is my story and maybe St.Louis will be his last so I can cap it off.
