An Old Friend
Growing up in Canada in the 70’s and 80’s, we all tended to watch the same shows for children. This is a special item that was available during his reading tours, and I was able to get one from the person who had it signed by the humble legend.

I continue to look for Upper Deck space and fossil cards from special subsets they have released in past products.

The world of card collecting is filled with many “1 of 1” cards. For me, these are the quintessential one-of-a kind cards.

A gift from a friend
Last year, a good friend of mine named Doug passed away unexpectedly.
Doug was a lifetime bachelor and collector, and he left a huge assortment of collectibles (thoughtfully and lovingly cared for) behind him. I was able to help Doug’s family and friends go through his collection, and we brought to light some amazing items. The treasure pictured below was a favourite find for me, and Doug’s loved ones gifted it to me as they felt that Doug would want it to go to his fellow collector and friend where it would continue to be lovingly cared for and appreciated.
Doug pulled this poster off an arena wall in 1999 and had most of the wrestlers performing that night sign it. It is now one of my favourite items and will never leave the collection.
Thanks, Doug
