There is finally a method to my madness, I collect Flames, past or present, and any of the players we have met in our travels.

Fleury, Jeff Deslauriers and Killer

Purchased through Ebay, from Bossa Productions, a great company in BC. Both players attended Bossa's Calgary show last April. It is a custom made card too.

Signed TTM, honestly never keep track of how long but it was about 2 months.

Upper Deck's National Hockey Card Day


This is the second pack I received from ebayers sending with their items.  Not bad, can't imagine they're worth too much, being a freebe and all.

1972 Year in Hockey Box Break



Pricey for a box of cards and I cracked it at the store and enjoyed what was found.  I was born in 1972 so I never collected these so I find it fun to see what hockey was like back in the day.  The autographs are at best average so I stick to the a graph is a graph.  The jersey cards I have pulled are all Hall of Famers, Dionne, Shutt and Lafleur.  Just the Dionne from this box though.  I pulled a 'coach' and rookie card from the subsets also.  I came across 2 checklists, which should be hard to come by.  I am closer to completing my set now with some new memorabilia cards!
