For those of you interested in renovating homes in Vancouver, BC, you never know what you might find. Here's a front page story in the sports section this morning...

The writer doesn't mention if anyone local examined these to determine whether they are reprints, but at least one thing rings somewhat true about the story: the find didn't have Vezina or Cyclone Taylor. An "ebay find" would not have overlooked such a possibility.

You can't tell the condition from the web article, but the cards look in great shape from the newspaper article. I suspect the kid mentioned in the story might not have been collecting cards in 1911 but perhaps in 1991.
