Here's a sweet card of Ted Lindsay

[Kurri17]

That is sweet. As classic as it gets. I have my eye on the Sawchuk from that set, SGC, but its not an "8". The Ted is gorgeous.

Thanks Rob!

Picked up this 1933 Sport Kings #19 Eddie Shore PSA 5 at the Toronto Expo today (Nicest PSA 5 in the world!)

These just back from Newport Beach:

Here are a few neat pickups:

1905 Calumet Hockey Club Team Postcard that includes Jimmy Gardner HOF (front row, far left)

1973 Bobby Orr Photo by Dimitri
Includes signatures of Team Canada players & coaches from the 1976 Canada Cup Roster: Scotty Bowman, Don Cherry, Bobby Clarke, Phil Esposito, Bobby Hull, Reggie Leach, Peter Mahovlich, Bobby Orr & Darryl Sittler

1976 "Keep Orr" Sticker (Grant Printing Company, Inc.)
This sticker was created by a local printer who distributed them outside of the Boston Garden during a playoff game in 1976 when it was speculated that Orr was not going to remain a Bruin next season

Great P/U's guys!

Seeing all these has made me think maybe I'll start collecting hockey cards again!

[chaddurbin]

the '90 ud hockey set is a personal favorite...and when you pair that up with the next hockey savior i had to get the card signed.

Thanks! I wanted to pick one up after reading about them in Brian Powell's book, and Mr. Mikita was the first card I pulled from my first pack of hockey cards many moons ago. It's in perfect condition, and I was surprised at how inexpensive it was.

Great P/U's, Jeff.
How was the Expo by the way? I was wanting to go but I just couldn't co-ordinate my Father's and my schedule. I was hoping to meet Larry personally and talk further about my Beehives too, but it just wasn't met to be I guess?

Yes, Beehives, surprisingly, considering their age, etc, just aren't all that popular/in demand, unfortunately. I have 245, (sold one to Jeff above) that my Father gave me and they are great, imo.
I am currently thinking about trading/selling them to Nicknock, but I just can't bring myself to it lately knowing these were my Father's and what he collected as a kid.
