Hi Everyone,
Sorry for being two weeks late but, here is my top ten of 2018. 2018 was a pretty good year for me in the hobby. I picked up a few new rookie cards for my collection and also added some really nice pieces along the way.
For those of you who don't follow me on Twitter or Instagram, some of these will be new since I haven't made a mail post in a while.
10. 2016-17 Upper Deck Team Canada Ethan Bear Patch Auto /199
This is not a rookie card but, is a great piece for my collection.
9. 1982-83 O-Pee-Chee Grant Fuhr rookie card PSA 8
I also landed this one off of eBay for a pretty fair price and is definitely an upgrade for the copy I have in my collection.
8. 2018-19 Upper Deck Zach Whitecloud Young Guns Exclusives /100
A new Indigenous player on the scene, I had to get the Exclusives to go along with the regular Young Guns versions that I picked up after the set was released.
7. 2018-19 Upper Deck Zach Whitecloud Young Guns Clear Cut
Looks pretty good next to its buddies if you ask me...
6. 2003-04 SP Authentic Jordin Tootoo Future Watch Auto Patch /100
I have always loved watching Jordin Tootoo even before I started this collection and always wanted to have this card. I was finally able to land a copy this past year and has gone into my mini Tootoo player collection.
5. 2003-04 O-Pee-Chee Jordin Tootoo Red /100
I was watching this card on eBay for almost a year and luckily I noticed that it belonged to Bruce who posted it in a thread I made in honour of Tootoo's retirement. I messaged him right away and asked him if I could buy it and another (Titanium rc /55) off of him. Bruce met up with me at Wayne's and we made the transaction. I was so happy to add this one to my collection as it's not often one of these will pop up.

This is not officially a hockey card but, it so cool! Just something I wanted in my collection and so old!
3. 2016-17 Upper Deck Brandon Montour Young Guns Gold Rainbow Foil
A few members here know how long I looked for one of these cards and luckily a couple eventually popped up on COMC. Another addition to my Brandon Montour mini player collection. Yes I am going for the rainbow...
2. 2005-06 Fleer Ultra Rene Bourque Rookie Uniformity Patch Auto /5
Seen this one sitting in one of dahabs26's many lots he has for sale. I sent him a message and let him know that if the lot did not sell, I would be interested in buying this card for my collection. Fortunately, he was kind enough to let me buy it as a single and now it sits in my collection.
1. 2003-04 Upper Deck Jordin Tootoo Young Guns Canadian Exclusives /50
A week before I purchased this card off of eBay, a HG /10 version of this card popped up on eBay and was even being sold locally. I hit a watch on it and figured I would come up with an offer within a couple days. Well, that card sold and I was very regretful as these HG & Exclusive versions are never seen of this card. I was very disappointed that I let it slip away and when this card came up I had to buy it. This is my number one because of how hard these cards are to find and is also a reminder to myself to pull the trigger! Lol.
Thanks everyone for reading and sharing in a review of my 2018 in the hobby!
