I guess you could say I'm a Leafs fan...wait wait, I mean Canadiens! Anyway,
I've collected a few older cards over the years (newer ones don't really interest me). Here's a
few of my favourites:
(Some of the scans aren't perfect, so some of these cards look worse than they
actually are) |

| Yeah OK, I'm a bit of a Lafleur fan. Too bad I can't afford the
expensive ones...ah, maybe some day.

| I've been working on completing the 1982-83 O-Pee-Chee set over the last few months
since I discovered how much eBay has to offer. I already had some of these, including some of the
more valuable ones. There aren't a lot of huge rookie cards in this set, so it won't cost me
a mint to collect. Here are a few of the notable cards I have so far: |

Here's a few cards from another set I'm looking for. O-Pee-Chee
issued 2 sets of glossy mini-cards in 1987 & 1988 featuring the previous year's league leaders.
For some reason the set isn't worth a lot right now, but with so many current and future Hall of
Famers included in a 42-card set, who knows where the value might so. Not that it matters though...
this is another one of those sets that I've had kicking around for years and through the magic
of eBay I've managed to find some of them.
I have some of these (and many more) in doubles. If anybody is interested in them
I'll entertain offers. |

| Here's a few old Esso cards. I don't know how I got
them or if they're worth anything. |

 |
| I'm not a Bruins fan (not allowed to be if you're
a Habs fan) but I've got these cards for some reason...must've blown in the window: |
   |
| Here's an autographed Pavel Bure card. I sent the card
to the team and, surprisingly, it came back signed. I'm only assuming it's authentic. Then again,
who cares? I'm keeping it either way. |
 |
| I've got a stack of old stickers from the 80s.
Here's a few of the notables. I'm wondering if the Lemieux one is of any value since it came out
the same year as his rookie card. |
 
 |
| This has to be one of the gems of my humble collection.
I sent a couple of Patrick Roy cards to the Canadiens to get an autograph, but instead I got
this 3.5" x 5.5" glossy photo. Now I'm not one to hide something like this away so it has faded
a little. Anyway, I'm hanging on to this one for a while. |

I found these in a box while looking for something
completely unrelated (ain't that always the way). These round cards came in Kellogg's
cereal during the 1984-85 season and each has the player's 1983-84 stats, biographical
info, team logo and autograph (not real) on the back.The cards were linked together in groups
of 6, with 2 sets
in a single plastic puck with an NHL logo on the front. Each card is about 2 inches in diameter.
This promotion was part of some contest
because on the inside of the puck is printed "Sorry, please try again." I found these disks
in an old price guide from 1994: The first set you see here was worth $5; the second $4.
What they might be worth today...who knows? But, like most of the stuff in my collection
that I don't have in doubles, these ones aren't going anywhere unless someone drops by with
a sack of cash. |

 |
| That's all I've got for now. As I dig out more
stuff (or buy some from eBay), I'll add them. |
