Before I get into that, I actually noticed that there was a dozen hockey cards inside the envelope that Kenny from Cervin' Up Cards sent my way.
First up a couple of pairs of Maple Leaf cards from different sets.
I'm still hunting for the final 6 cards from my 99-00 MVP silver signature set; these cards happen to be from a few years later, namely the 08-09 Upper Deck MVP set.
How about a couple of cards from a competitor?
I was happy that Ben Scrivens received a 2 year extension from the Oilers today, he's played quite well since getting out of the Blue and White spotlight.
I was also disappointed to hear that the NHL went the way of MLB and granted an exclusive license to Upper Deck. I thought Panini was doing a pretty good job with their sets; they had quite a few good products that had a good following. Losing their license sadly is going to reduce Panini's share in the marketplace, especially in this household.
Finally, 8 cards from this year's O-Pee-Chee release came this way.
Still a long way to go for this set, these 8 cards leave me with a little over 200 cards to pick up for the 600 card behemoth.
One sad thing that I noticed when removing these from the want list is that the last time I had updated the hockey want list was in November. Yep, well over 3 months ago. Then I looked at the baseball want list. That hadn't been updated since early January. Almost 2 months for that one.
It's no wonder I really haven't felt like writing about anything. Nothing is coming in. At least on the want list front. Unless it's a Blue Jay. People have been trying to work on that list....now that it's up!!
Another reason the lists aren't being updated/attacked is I haven't been to a card show in a couple of months. Thankfully, that will change this weekend. Plus with my Sportlots purchase last night, the want lists will finally receive a little trimming.
Months later....
thanks for reading, Robert
I'm glad to see that those cards have found a home :).
