Nice Triumph postcards!

I did. Sold all of my lacrosse photos through them.

I'm happy to have it, its a great photo.
I was really surprised at how low it went for. I didn't expect to win it.
What's your collecting focus now?

Jeff that pre-rookie of the admiral is a great looking card. I have never seen one one before. Congrats and thanks for sharing. Here is my latest pickup. I have been looking for a PSA 8 of this card for close to a year and finally found one that was centered and got it for a great price.

My 1980 Topps vault Ray Bourque rookie proof!

Keeping with the Bruins theme, here's a tough 1971-72 Bruins postcard signed by Bobby Orr.

Very nice looking Chamberlain rookie! Looks much better than the grade.

Winging its way here from Europe as we speak:

From 1958, he was one of the greatest Soviet players and coached the 1972 summit team that nearly beat the NHL all-stars.

WOW, more great auto rookies, Rob. You're doing all 4 sports now......

Thanks Phil! Concentrating on Baseball, but keeping an eye out for the other sports as well!

Cool card! But just to clarify, the Russians played Canada in the Summit series, not a team of NHL all-stars.

Canada, NHL All Stars, in the early 1970s they were the same thing:

7 Phil Esposito, center: 8 GP - 7 G - 6 A - 13 PTS - 15 PIM (Boston Bruins)
19 Paul Henderson, left wing: 8 GP - 7 G - 3 A - 10 PTS - 4 PIM (Toronto Maple Leafs)
28 Bobby Clarke, center: 8 GP - 2 G - 4 A - 6 PTS - 18 PIM (Philadelphia Flyers)

22 J. P. Parise, left wing: 6 GP - 2 G - 2 A - 4 PTS - 28 PIM (Minnesota North Stars)
8 Rod Gilbert, right wing: 6 GP - 1 G - 3 A - 4 PTS - 9 PIM (New York Rangers)
18 Jean Ratelle, center: 6 GP - 1 G - 3 A - 4 PTS - 0 PIM (New York Rangers)

6 Ron Ellis, right wing: 8 GP - 0 G - 3 A - 3 PTS - 8 PIM (Toronto Maple Leafs)
33 Gilbert Perreault, center: 2 GP - 1 G - 1 A - 2 PTS - 0 PIM (Buffalo Sabres)
9 Bill Goldsworthy, right wing: 3 GP - 1 G - 1 A - 2 PTS - 4 PIM (Minnesota North Stars)
27 Frank Mahovlich, left wing: 6 GP - 1 G - 1 A - 2 PTS - 0 PIM (Montreal Canadiens)
20 Pete Mahovlich, left wing: 7 GP - 1 G - 1 A - 2 PTS - 4 PIM (Montreal Canadiens)
17 Bill White, defense: 7 GP - 1 G - 1 A - 2 PTS - 8 PIM (Chicago Blackhawks)
14 Wayne Cashman, right wing: 2 GP - 0 G - 2 A - 2 PTS - 14 PIM (Boston Bruins)

11 Vic Hadfield, left wing: 2 GP - 0 G - 0 A - 0 PTS - 0 PIM (New York Rangers)
16 Rod Seiling, defense: 3 GP - 0 G - 0 A - 0 PTS - 0 PIM (New York Rangers)
3 Pat Stapleton, defense: 7 GP - 0 G - 0 A - 0 PTS - 0 PIM (Chicago Blackhawks)
Goaltenders:
35 Tony Esposito 4 GP - 2 wins - 1 loss - 1 tie - 3.33 GAA - .882 Sv Pct (Chicago Blackhawks)
29 Ken Dryden 4 GP - 2 wins - 2 losses - 0 ties - 4.75 GAA - .838 Sv Pct (Montreal Canadiens)

Sorry, but with all due respect, they are NOT the same thing.
As a proud Canadian, it was OUR COUNTRY that won the series, not an NHL all-star team.

Back in 72 the NHL was Canada much unlike today's NHL. If your not Canadian, part of your thought process back then was it was us (NHL/Canada) versus the world. With that said, the Canadian National Pride is completely understandable and should be embraced.

Ahh to be young and have a mullet...JD McCarthy RC:

Proof Cards
 

I am very happy to have picked these up from the bay. Ten blank backed color proofs, along with one standard card from the 76-77 Topps Hockey release. Pictures to follow:

This ebay purchased arrived today leaving just four cards to complete the 1961 Topps set. Pat Stapleton had a 15 year NHL WHA career, but this card always looked a little creepy to me.

Here's a card I've never seen before, a 1962-63 Sudbury Wolves Crown Life Hockey School Gerry Cheevers pre-rookie card. Back then, he was known as "Jerry"!

That Cheevers is awesome...

I took a break from T206 and recaptured a pair of hockey cards I had a lifetime ago. Very happy to have reacquired these:

Couple of old 24x36 Spalding hoops posters.

I figured I needed at least one MJ card...

Nice!!!

Picked these up over the past 6 months...

Love the pre-buzz cut Mullin!
Here are a couple of recent pick-ups:

• A beautiful for the grade 1953 Parkhurst Rocket Richard. Tough to find these centered with nice registration!

• A 1922-23 Royal Bank Hockey Team RPPC with hall-of-famer Roy "Shrimp" Worters (Goalie)

Circa 1910 Goalie Stick
 

Antique Goalie Stick. Just got this beauty in. St Marys Specialty Wood Company hockey goalie stick. Nice condition and I know these are hard to come by. I have been looking for one of these for my collection for a long time and the bonus is the condition and the makers mark

This card completes my 1966-67 Topps hockey set. The card gets an A grade because it is trimmed, SGC "customized" the gasket to prevent the card from moving around.

Pickups
 

A few I've picked up here and there.

My latest pickup...this guy had an OK career, for a 3rd round draft pick. :rolleyes:

Hard to believe he's already in his 50's.
