True "Cagers" back in the day when they actually played the game inside a fenced-in court with no out-of-bounds:

I have some Bobby Orr stuff, but not vintage enough. I bet them Cagers could talk some trash. Tough lookin bunch. The Thorpe's r amazing. All good stuff.

Great card of a great fighter — but he wasn't from Portland.

"Mysterious" Billy Smith, who was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame this past June, was a Canadian from Little River, Nova Scotia, and won the first officially recognized world welterweight championship on April 17, 1893. Towards the end of his career he moved to the West Coast, opening a hotel and Turkish bath in Yakima, Washington, and then a saloon in Portland, where he died on Oct. 15, 1937.

About 98% of what I collect is baseball but of the remaining these three items would be my favorites.

Duke Kahanamoku postcard, more often seen as b&w. Don't worry, Anthony; it's in the Will.


Picked this up for a loonie in a Gastown junque shop back in the '70's. It is coveted by a certain Saskatoonian (Saskatoonite?, Saskatoonarooni?) who frequents this board. Don't worry, brah; it's in the Will (I'll throw in the license plate, too).

David, Awesome postcard. It really shows the "porthole" Paoa used to check for sealife and shallow hazards. How do I get in that will?

Great idea for a painting!

You're obviously correct and I knew about some of the above (nice additional info though.) I guess "from Portland" can have different meanings.

As I live in Vancouver, no need to wear the sweater as we wear shorts and T-shirts in the winter, and leave the snow and cold to the rest of Canada

The Sheiks' items particularly appeal to me, as I'm originally from Saskatoon
