Howdy folks,

Been a while. Nothing much in the collecting-area, but i've received a little bit of mail. Some additional oldies from my friend Andreas (Reborn) that I was too lazy to scan, but one of those were my tenth copy and i'm sure you've seen those cards before.

Otherwise, saw another two Springsteen gigs, this time in the land of Guinness. :D

Had a fabulous trip even if the first show was the worst i've seen this year, but the other one was stellar. The best one I witnessed in Europe this time around..but geez how I regret choosing Ireland over Italy or Spain, those setlist were friggin' insane. At least I've learnt my lesson and the beer was good.

Here's a picture for your viewing pleasure. From the front row, of course.

Anyways, a while ago I sent a PM to Al (Uhtred the Viking) with a card I thought he needed and indeed he did. At the time he didn't have anything for me and I was in the middle of cleaning out pretty much everything non-commie I had in my possession, so I figured he'd appreciate it much more than I, even if I am Iggy fan. So I decided, heck i'll send it his way anyways and told him; that if he'd ever get his hands on a Kharlamov then I'd gladly take it.

Lo and behold, I got a PM from him last week and on monday this puppy arrived.

It's an extra, but definitely an upgrade. One of the best Kharlamov jersey swatches I've ever seen. Can't thank you enough my friend. Gotta find some new Iggy's to send your way. :beer:

And lastly, about two months ago I received this puppy,

Today I finally took the time and decoded it,

Pretty cool stuff. :dance:

One name that I wasn't sure on the money though. The one below Kuzkin. I think it might be early Lutchenko, but on the back of the paper it says that Luchenko, Nikitin and Shadrin missing...But oh well.

Depending on how things work out, I might have the finest mailpost of my life next week. ;)

Thanks for stopping by,

Victor
 
Ok now, I know it's only been a couple of minutes after your post, but it's not like I've been looking for this thread. :laugh: I was out all day and so all my HI activity is happening now. I was a bit surprised by the concept of "future considerations" with card collecting, but that's another great thing about this site. Vic, that was the first time I had experienced that, so thank you again for your generosity. As for the Kharlamov, as you said to me about the Iginla, "you'll appreciate it a lot more than I would". Can't wait to see what you've got cooking for next week. :beer:
 
Vic, that's what this hobby is all about.......you helping Al, and Al helping you. :) The way it should be.

Also, I live my Springsteen dream through your eyes and ears....AMAZING you get to all those concerts!!! Jealous a bit, but I'm also "high-fiving" you!!!!!!! :dance:

Thanks for sharing.

Wes - LOL, thanks bud.

Al - Yeah it worked nicely, even though if you hadn't sent me anything, then that would have been good as well. The Iggy belonged in your collection. :)

Curt - Definitely high-five! If you get the chance this fall, head to Philly and see the last shows at The Spectrum. They'll be phenomenal for sure. If I can make it work, i'll surely head back there, or Madison Square Garden in November perhaps. :)

Pat - I loved the little I saw of Dublin apart from spending my time in the queue for the shows. There were friggin' pubs everywhere! Insanity! :D

Thanks guys!
 
As always Vic, it's a pleasure to check out your photos of "The Boss" and your Commie PC additions.
Great stuff and thanks for the Show :beer:
