Ok, I have not been collecting hockey cards for a long time.
But a good friend pulled this card on Sunday and offered to
me and I thought why not.What sold me on the card was
that it says it is an actual game used shield. Not event worn
or manufactured shield.So it is the real deal. Thanks for taking a look.

Nice group of cards there. Love the 70/71s, and of course Gretz and Kurri are tough to beat. Are you working on that 70/71 set?

No not working on any sets.Did them all a long time ago.But I would sooner spend $100 on vintage than a few packs of new stuff.Maybe only 1 pack.

Well congrats and lucky you on finishing those sets, still plodding myself. Very much agree, can't bring myself to spend on new stuff unless it is Kurri.

And off topic, but I still have your non-sport want list on my phone as those '72 and '78 Kelloggs you have call to me.

I guess I am a different type collector than most. I have done all those sets. Some as many a few times.
I did all the modern day hockey sets from 1951 up to about 1990. But once the chase is over for that
last card. My enjoyment for that set is done.So I rarely keep anything.Just move on to build another set.
The only thing I am 100% loyal to is my Scottie Upshall collection.I am forever expanding it.There are a few
cards of his that have allotted me for years.But when they ever become available I will be ready.
When you talk about 72 and 78 Kellogg's do you mean the baseball part sets that I have? Thanks.

Yeah, the Kellogg's baseball ones you have. And good to know about Upshall, in case I ever run across anything.
