Picked up a few sweet raw cards for my PC. These are what I remember pulling from packs:

Nice gets, Adam. I remember the 72-73's the most from my youth, and thanks to mom and/or dad, I still have some.

Despite my many collecting interests, my largest player collection is of Jari Kurri with over a thousand unique items (and since I'm a bit of a hoarder probably fifteen hundred or more overall). A fan from the early '80s, despite an extensive collection, this one has eluded me since the beginning. A fine Finnish gentleman ran this one down for me in trade for a rare Finnish issue of another player. I have dealt with so many Europeans, especially Finns, over the years in the building of my collection and they have been amazing people to deal with. I have only seen a very few of these ever, so acquiring this one is exciting and a key addition to my collection. Thought I'd show it here as it is a lesser seen item.
*(my apologies Irv, I know you've seen it elsewhere)

Great story and great pick up, Rob.
I don't blame you one bit for sharing it on every forum you belong too.
I know I would as well.

As I dive back into collecting I want to fill out a couple of my favorite players from childhood. Plus I wanted to buy a PSA and KSA for a low price, hold them, and compare them with my own two eyes. These sure look good to me and very similar and they both came this week.

Excited to contribute to the site.

Time to find some more cards.

Very nice. Two great ones there, can't go wrong with Lafleur, but I especially like the Perreault. Have a small little PC of him going. Enjoy the search for your next additions.

Thank you, sir! I’ve enjoyed looking at your collection. The internet makes shopping easier in many ways but I do miss hitting up stores and card shows to find the right card. And hockey card shopping deep in the heart of Texas will prove to be interesting!
