    welcome to the new & improved maple ridge hall of fame

    Hello and how ya been, folks? I haven't been here in some time now and other than my Artifacts Honoureds set and a few bits of Kesler minutae, I haven't really bought anything card related either.

    Johnny Bucyk Artifacts Honoured Members

    So Wave 2 of the Honoured Members insert set came out when 2016/17 Artifacts was released, but Johnny Bucyk was nowhere to be found. I finished off the rest of the set and Twitter'd Upper Deck about Bucyk, but all they told was that they'd have more information in a couple months. And then of...

    Nothing comes easy these days.........

    Hey there friendos, how things?? Been a while eh? So since October I've managed to sell 2000 cards off give or take and pumped most of the proceeds into paying off Amy's car so she can handle her end of things a little better. I've cheated a few times and spent some of it on myself...

    There's not enough lipstick on Earth to save this pig

    So I'm selling my collection off and I need supplies. A quick trip to the card shop on the way home to buy team bags, easy-peasy. And that's where things went south. 1) I don't collect cards anymore. 2) I know what I'm gonna get out of a box of cards if I buy one. I KNOW. $134.99 later...

    How I learned to finally quit the hobby for the very last time.........

    My first "master set"

    If yer gonna try to build a complete set, make it a small one hahahahaa. After FINALLY sorting, scanning and inventory-ing my last card (15,675 grand total if you're wondering) I discovered that I was two inserts and one jersey card shy of a complete 2000/01 Pacific McDonald's set. So I bought...

    Two-thing mailday

    Hey, how are ya? So about four years ago I gave away a card to a fellow Kesler collector. No good deed ever goes unpunished tho, because three weeks ago I wound up BUYING it back after seeing it up on eBay. And for some strange reason, paying $12.99 for shipping means it takes three weeks to...

    Latest graded Parkies......

    Must be three years ago now that I bought a near-complete 62/63 Parkhurst set. I've been taking four or five of them to the 2-day Bonsor shows ever since, to see KSA Peter at his table. This past Sunday I took five, including a PRISTINE Ron Stewart, which turned out to be a crime-scene when he...
