If you don't put such a demand on the condition of vintage cards then it is possible to acquire some pretty cool stuff. Whenever I make a trade or purchase I try to add a few wildcards into my transaction just because it's fun and you'll never know until you ask. These are usually just…
Of the cards up today all but one were issued well before I was born. But all have had an impact on my life in different ways. Up first, The Beatles. My dad, was a Rolling Stones guy but my mom was definitely on the Beatles side. My Uncle who recently passed away was also…
If anything is going to distract me from O-Pee-Chee it is going to be some sort of food issued cards. Of course there are the 2 bigs ones up here in Canada with Tim Horton's hockey cards being partially responsible for bringing so many new collectors to the scene. And, of course McDonalds had a…
I know the Superb Owl day is tomorrow, but I don't often pick up Football Cards so I guess my non-hockey post for today will have to be about Baseball instead. Although I want to complete the complete run of O-Pee-Chee baseball cards its kinda hard for me as I don't really have much left…
I managed to knock a card off my most wanted list. #41976-77 Topps Hockey - Glossy Inserts Ken Dryden #5 This was the first card to make the top 10 most wanted that truly was NOT an O-Pee-Chee. These were issued in the 1976-77 Topps set. O-Pee-Chee copied the style a couple seasons later with…

If you were a kid back in the 80's or earlier and cards came into your possesion that were either perforated or meant to be cut apart they most likely were. Today it seems everyone takes the cards as these magical things and would never do it, but back then we just did it and…
No, not like I have an issue with food, but rather cards that were issued with food. Pretty much one of the few things that can distract me from O-Pee-Chee are food issued cards. I think if I had to chose a 2nd type of card to collect this would keep me happy. One of…
The actual MLB baseball season is quickly running down and now is when it gets most interesting for those of us who have a team still in play. For me its The Blue Jays. This is not out of any overwhelming loyalty, they just happen to be the closest geographic team and I remember being…
On my desk is a hodgepodge of cards that are waiting to be put away from multiple trades, pickups or purchases. All of them are cool to me, all are O-Pee-Chee and all get me a little closer to my ultimate goal of O-Pee-Chee domination. So without further delay, here we go. I didn't really…
