Hey Everyone,
Sorry, I haven't posted in a while. For those of you who have been following me on Twitter have seen all of these cards. But, for those of who you don't follow me...what are you waiting for? @naimcardinal
We recently moved and the past few weeks we have been busy settling into our new place and then left for two weeks at the end of July for vacation. Anyway, finally got some time to make a post (I've been lurking) and share what I have been picking up!
I've been going around to a few card shops in the area as I had a hinkering for some older wax and really feel I missed out on the OPC Premier craze as a kid (since I didn't have my own job and was poor!) so I wanted to pick some up. Unfortunately, there was none to be found in town and while I was on vacation in Kelowna a couple weeks ago I was lucky enough to find some for $4.00/pack. The owner of the shop offered a full unopened box of 36 packs to me for $100 but, didn't think the wife would approve so I declined. After walking out of the shop she asked why I didn't even look at her or ask and maybe she would have said yes. Go figure!
1990-91 OPC Premier Rookies & Stars
These next three cards I grabbed off of eBay from a seller who I dealt with in the past and previously sold me different Cheechoo refractors from the set. I believe he was breaking up what he had because he had more players available. Anyway, these are really tough to come by and I was fortunate to find these all together.
1998-99 Bowman CHL International Jonathan Cheechoo Refractor x2, and Bowman 50th Anniversary Gold Refractor /5
1998-99 O-Pee-Chee version Jonathan Cheechoo rookie card
Looks good as a trio, right?
1998-99 OPC Chrome, OPC, and Topps Jonathan Cheechoo rookie cards
After watching the Memorial Cup in May, it was brought to my attention that their Head Coach and former NHL/AHL fighter, Rocky Thompson, was part Indigenous. So I looked it up on a couple sites and there he was on the list-so I had to pick up his rookie card as part of the collection.
2000-01 BAP Rocky Thompson rc
A couple of Jordin Tootoo rookie cards /99. I paid $10 each for these cards and I feel I stole them. Both of these are very under appreciated:
2003-04 SP Game Used Jordin Tootoo rc /99
2003-04 Private Stock Reserve Jordin Tootoo rc /99
I wanted to pick this one up because you don't see them around too often. In fact, it's the only one I have seen since starting this collection.
2005-06 SP Authentic Darren Reid Limited /100
2010-11 Upper Deck Dwight King Young Guns Exclusives /100
Got these two from one of my other Twitter buddies who saw my collection and was very kind in grabbing these for me. He should be a good one for the Oilers!
2015-16 Upper Deck Ethan Bear Team Canada World Jrs Hydro & Custom Auto Card
I also got this card from the same Twitter buddy mentioned above.
2016-17 SP Authentic Brandon Montour FW auto rc /999
I have been searching for the past few months for Brandon Montour YGs as I am hoping one day to own a rainbow and kept missing out on the cards. I was able to finally land the card below for a bit lower than what they were going for since their little run through the playoffs. I was very happy to finally get one! I am still in search for a Clear Cut, Acetate, Gold Rainbow (epack bs), and a HG. Although, there was a HG posted recently for quite a while I am not willing to pay $495.00 for a card of a guy who has only played a handful of NHL games. :dislike:
2016-17 Upper Deck Brandon Montour Young Guns Exclusives /100
Okay, last of the hockey. I guess have become a bit of a Brandon Montour collector along the way.
2016-17 UD Ultimate Brandon Montour Rookie Card
I have also been dabbling in football lately (much to the dismay of my wife) and picked up a few things in the past couple months. These are not worth a lot in the Beckett guide but I think there's a lot of value in them and appreciate them so much. I have a Twitter buddy, Dub Mentality, who has a very cool blog about collecting and he has mostly been writing and opening junk wax and it motivated me to pick some things up (including the 1990-91 OPC Premier).
First up a box of Topps Traded Football that I picked up
1989 Topps Traded Football Rookies
Next up....The Boz!!! Because....The Boz!
1988 Topps Brian Bosworth rookie card
I am a huge Oregon Ducks fan, so naturally I have to pick up some rookie cards of the greatest Duck to ever lace em up! This one was a freebie from my buddy, Dub Mentality, on Twitter. Seriously, look up his blog...

Thanks everyone for taking the time to view and read about my cards. Have a great day!
