    A “What If” Celebration Banner

    Went to a local card show today and bought this 3x5’ banner. For those of you unfamiliar with Calgary Flames history, they have only won the Stanley Cup once. The 2004 Cup final between Calgary and Tampa Bay went to 7 games. This appears to be a legitimate product, with all of the authentic...

    Pinnacle Select - Gold Team

    My recent COMC order allowed me to complete this 10 card set from 1995/96 Pinnacle Select. It's called Gold Team, and features top NHL players from that era.

    Some recent additions to the Iginla pc

    Couple of pics to show some recent additions. I also wanted to see if anyone has any more information for the Iginla Star Rookie acetate card from 2021-22 Upper Deck Series 2. It is from an unannounced set, so no checklist that I've seen. I've only seen 1 other Iginla card show up, just...

    Top Pickups for 2021

    Well 2021 is disappearing, time to look back and reflect on where my collecting activities took me. As in past years I'll be creating theme pages, they won't show all of the cards that fit that theme, but will point to my main areas of focus. There is no special order to them, except that I...
