And he is in a wings Uni!

Looking for a bucyk if Nyone has one

I have one in my collection; not an easy card to find.



That Hall is great; my favorite goalie.

These don't seem to be going anywhere but up

1960 Los Angeles Examiner newsprint RC of Jerry West. The paper issued a set for the Lakers, Dodgers and Angels in 1960. The cards would have run one day each.

Some recent pick ups including the Oshawa Generals card of Eric Lindros.

I never missed a home game when he played but wasn't collecting cards back then so I never bothered with these.

I seen a recent, pre covid, interview with Eric Lindros and Tara Sloan talking about the reason why he didn't sign with Quebec.
I knew there was something, and maybe this had already been disclosed, but he said he wouldn't have put on the sweater nor signed with Toronto if Marcel Abut owned/ran the Leafs.
Without saying it, Eric knew things about Abut back then and despised the man. He also talked about how he was smeared in the media because Abut had the money and the means and was able to do that with ease.
I'm bias being from Oshawa but I always felt he got a bum rap. He was an awesome player but most will remember him based on how the media portrayed him. (Vid of interview below, and I was glad to see Eric, after the fans found out the story, welcomed him back)

There are 2 JD McCarthy Bucyk cards. This is the more difficult one to find.

Psyched to add this 1965 complete solo superia team set to the collection... includes first pro card of eddy “the cannibal” merckx.

Ray Bourque RC 80-81 OPC and a recent scan update of my Jaromir Jagr that I pulled years ago and placed in its current recessed screw down. OC, mostly back, keeps this card from being a 10, imo, even though it is pack fresh.

Another arrival today. 82-83 OPC Grant Fuhr RC. Had a bit of a tough time finding a raw one centered for a decent price but lucked out on this one, finally.

Waited 7 months and a few days to get this one back from psa... psyched to have it back, but disappointed with the grade...

Very nice. Such a great card, big fan of the cards of that era and that's a good one.

Based simply on your "new acquisitions" posts, you must have an amazing collection.

Thanks, Rob.
I also like the cards from that era, especially the Gretzky . Hindsight being 20/20, I should have purchased a OPC BVG 6 for $600 a few years ago.
I thought it was a lot of money back then, and it was, but I could have easily doubled it now as they seem to be on fire.

I am getting there with my collection. Outside of concentrating on my 52's, I pretty much have a mish mash of everything. (most in my link below)

I just watched a 67-68 Orr All Star card end. I wanted to bid but due to the sellers feedback and description of the card (VG) plus the fact I'd have to pay 13% sales tax on it, I decided against it. I think I made the right decision but due to the cards centering, it was tough not to bid. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/1967-68-TOPP...orig_cvip=true

I'm not sure what I am going to chase next? I recently got burned on a Darryl Sittler RC that came creased so with that one on its way back, I will likely try to find another one?
