Project Lineup...

"Chainsaw & Hockey Mask"

Taking a look at what's in store for this year's collecting season. Certainly won't be going to a store to purchase any cards... Prefer to get massive boxes for next to nothing, along with countless cards given to me. Tons of unsorted junk anyway, so lets' begin!


Semyon Varlamov
2019-20 Upper Deck #344

2025 Projected Lineup (Designated Starters):

  • 1980's Commons: Card Sets Now "Vintage".
  • 1990's Junk: Using Wax as Low-Cost Wallpaper
  • 2009-10 - 2019-20 Upper Deck: Sorting & Filing
  • Original Six: Snapshots From a Simpler Time
  • NHL All-Star Game: Flashing Back to Decades Past
  • Expansion Teams of  1998-2000 (Preds, Thrashers, Jackets & Wild)


Most of my cards are in binders - But still have a few thousand that could also stand to be filed in such an album to be displayed and enjoyed.













Bob Sauve
1981-82 O-Pee-Chee #23

Have nearly 70% of the 1981-82 OPC set in my posession.
All commons, acquired for a couple dollars - Missing the really great cards, but still quite a chunk of hockey history right there.

Would take 44 binder sheets to tuck them away, leaving space for the missing cards...

That's the discouraging part, because it could easily get frustrating ensuring that the correct spaces are left, to "display" the cards properly, and allow the slots necessary should I happen to acquire a few more.. Maybe stick to one or two teams per sitting, and finish it over a few days instead of trying to stuff it into an afternoon.











Returning Segments:

Pascal Leclaire
2005-06 In The Game
- Heroes and Prospects #89
  • Minor League: Occasional cards, mentions of teams & players.
  • "Freaky Mask Friday": Scary or unusual goalie masks on hockey card (preferably a decent angle).
  • NHL Playoffs: The REAL Hockey Season. Particularly fond of cards that feature snapshots from the Playoffs.
  • "WTF Hockey Cards": Attempting to explain how such a bad card could ever be made - Or making sense of what's going on in the photo".
  • Random Re-Packs: Misadventures in Junk Wax for a few cheap thrills.
  • Goalie Cards: HOFers, backups & unknowns added to my collection.
