I have to admit the amount of high end cardboard that HI shows from it's members are second to none. You guys know who you are so keep it coming,it's always a pleasure reading the posts.
There was a time on this board that I would show off the big hauls(Top 5,10's whatever) but after a few situations that I had to get the police involved with,everything slowed down. The Hobby has become 1st,your buddys and chatting with the new people you meet locally or through the boards. I've also got the chance to release many former PC stuff to help others in their collections which is always nice to do.That being said, we all still have one common ground.......The Cardboard and it's still nice to pick up the odd nice piece from time to time
Here's 3 pieces that I'm very happy to add and put it in safe and secure storage never to see the light of day. New definition to permanent PC,LOL
Colin Greening 1/1
Out of all the Newfoundland players Colin has a little more meaning than the rest. My Grandmother was a Greening from Musgrave Town and there is a relation there but it's pretty distant.Even if Colin is a Sen I'll still like to add the odd piece from his rookie season.
Bobby Orr
Only an opinion but I still think this guy was the best ever to lace up the skates.Through the years of collecting Orr for a close buddy,I've starting a bit of a collection myself.
Love both but when History of Hockey came out I was ready to bust some and hope to pull the Orr Painting. Long story short, my interest was not there,never bought any and was I glad of that,lol. This 1/1 came up eventually and it was one piece I really wanted.
Anyhow,thanks for the read and nice to play with the big boys. Maybe next year I'll show some more,lol
