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.

2007-08 Between The Pipes Box Break



I was curious about a full box of the BTP and decided to give it a try.  Box plus tax costs $64 CAN so here's to hoping...The first pack brought not much as far as stars but young stars; Ryan Munce, Braden Holtby etc...The last card was Jaroslav Halak.   I pulled 1 Crease Cut jersey number, Marty Turco and a goaliegraph, Drew MacIntyre.  The subsets pulled were not great, Tyson Sexsmith and Al Montoya.  Nothing great but the curiosity is cured.  I did manage to pull most of the cards I need to complete the set, all 100 base cards.  I now need #54 and Patrick Roy (Goalie Greats #86 I think?) Rating Base Cards-A, Inserts->B- Memorabilia Cards->B

Authentic Goalie Graphs   
Drew had his moment of fame helping the Canucks when Luongo went down last year. Currently with the Chicago Wolves of the AHL.

Curtis McElhinney TTM Signed Quad City Flames BTP


This is Curtis's first NHL win against Edmonton last April, the 10th I believe.  And we were there, it was the last game of the year, and Kipper got the night off.  The Flames finally played well in front of Curtis so the win was well deserved. Curtis signed the card below for me TTM, took about 3 weeks.  Card was sent to the Calgary Flames. Awesome!

Doug Weight Jersey Cards



Authentic Fabrics Dual SP Game Used 2007-08 and 2008-09.  Notice the second, appears to be a Blues jersey, Doug in a Ducks jersey on the front and an Islander logo on the back.  Doug is a great leader, one heck of a guy.  I had a chance to chat with him for a few minutes at camp this year.

1972 Year in Hockey Dan Bouchard, Guy Lafleur and Vladimir Shadrin



I can almost call these cards now.  Get a fresh box of ITG 72, take the outside middle packs, usually 3-4 on each side.  I bought 7 packs today, pulled these cards.

Ray Bourque and Dwayne Roloson Jersey Cards

2008-09 Upper Deck SP GAME USED
This one is cool but makes no sense. He's in a Boston jersey, but the colors on the card don't resemble the Bruins. Even Colorado? That type of red doesn't seem to match anything.

1972 Year in Hockey Larry Mavety and Richard Brodeur
Larry appears to have been a career WHA'er and King Richard was a top goalie in the 1980's, just did not know he was around in '72.
