Getting something out there for the masses to read


Yep, it's been a while.  So much has happened over the past month or so that the blog world has taken a back seat.  I finally decided to take a little time to write, and take a picture of some cards that I purchased off of COMC.com before I moved south.

The Rogie Vachon was one of my favorite cards growing up; the smiling goalie mask instantly made an impression on me and will always hold a spot as one that I will never forget.  The Dick Redmond?  I just added it as part of the picture...I needed it for the 76-77 OPC set that I'm putting together.

The Gretzky is his first OPC card featuring him as a King.  I was able to purchase this card for under $3 (an absolute steal), and now I'm down to 10 cards to finish that set. 

I have a lot more cards to show off from the last 2 COMC orders that I placed, but I figured I'd just get my feet wet tonight with these three.   As you can see, I don't have a scanner here with me, so I'm reduced to taking pictures with my phone and uploading them.  Hopefully I can get back into a bit of a posting rhythm again, especially since I see that Jim from GCRL has gracefully left the blogosphere (best of luck to you Jim, you will be missed!)


Thanks for reading, Robert

  2. Love those old school goalie masks... even if they remind me of Jason Voorhees. Great pickups.

  3. The more I see vintage hockey, the more it makes me want to add a ton to my collection. Hope the move is going well.
