Sportscards from the Great White North

This is the first of two posts featuring random acts of kindness from fellow collectors.  This package came totally out of the blue from fellow blogger Doug from the Sportscards from the Dollar Store blog, and as he always does, hits every spot on the checklist.

Random Toronto stuff, including the great hair of Lourdes Gurriel Jr., the 8 Stanley Cups of Red Kelly, the multiple 100 RBI seasons from Joe Carter and the last Leaf to score 50 goals in a season, Dave Andreychuk.

A very nice start on the 2006-07 Parkhurst Leaf team set, featuring 6 of the base cards and 1 of the serial #'d Captains card, featuring Toronto's first 50 goal scorer Rick Vaive.  Rick still has the record of 54 goals in a season as a Leaf, which has lasted nearly 40 years now.

I've added the remainder of the Parkhurst Maple Leaf team set to my want list on TCDB, which is another project I'll have to get around to working on some day.

You know, I took a look at these 4 cards and thought, "I guess these are just some random cards from my player PC's".   Nope.   Needed all 4, although with my Mitch Marner collection still only less than 2 pages in length that's not hard to do.  But the Sakic and the Fitzgeralds were needed, and those collections are much larger so these are great to have.

But check this last card out....

This scanned absolutely fantastic!!  I was enamored with it in hand as well, of course.   It's the 2019 Panini Legacy violet parallel, #'d 1 out of 10.  Just wow!!!  The most limited card of my Fitzgerald collection, which is now up to 353.

Doug never ceases to amaze.   Thank you very much Doug, the cards are really appreciated!!!

Enjoy the hobby and stay safe!
