I got some Retro Old-School stuff today (Friday 23 January) I'll mention that later but first I got my part of Joel's webbgems Group Box Break FB of 08 LCM, 08 GG, 07 Leaf Limited and 07 Bowman Chrome. I had my standard RAMSKINS (Rams + Redskins) as my bought teams and my two random teams were GIANTS & JAGS. The Giants will eventually be FT as will some of the JAGs. Off the top of my head I don't recall the hits, I had a minor question that I PM'd Joel about concerning the break.

OK the Retro Old School I got from 3 different Ebay Auctions: they are NFT (eventually I'll get them into my NFT bucket.)

I started up
CaptKirk42's Collection Page on the Show & Tell board. Check it out, I plan to use that to highlight my PC cards.

Today Obama Tuesday 20 January, 2009 I received my portion of cards from the Low Budget Hockey Break Group hosted by Dwight AKA "Urbanmonk". This month I had The Bruins, Lightning & Ducks. Well it was pretty decent, I thought there weren't any DUCKS but it looks like there is one, anyway the great HOF BRIUNS & Excellent LIGHTNING cards made up for no DUCKS For the most part these cards are part of my PC and NFT. Exceptions maybe noted. If I have dupes I will trade dupes.

OK for BRUINS MOJO I got:
First off a 5x7 UP MASTERPIECES (I guess those are box toppers?) - Willie O'Ree Framed (I think it is dark blue) - It is FT as I have no need for the 5x7 cards, I also have a 5x7 Beehive of Vincent Lecavalier (Lightning) that is also FT.

2007 PARKHURST (I might have some of these already from when I was in the "Official TCC Hockey Box Breaking Group")
Phil Esposito (yeah!), Ray Bourque, Don Cherry (I think I have a dupe of this one), Peter McNab, Cam Neely, Terry O'Reilly, Gerry Cheevers (I think that is a dupe), Adam Oates, Rick Middleton and a Captians of Terry O'Reilly #/3999
2007-08 BE A PLAYER Marc Savard, Patrice Bergeron, #d Rookie of Tuukka Rask #/99, Signatures Auto of Chuck Kobasew
2008 UD MASTERPIECES Cam Neely, Bobby Orr (standing behind a cup trophy), Willie O'Ree, Phil Esposito, Bobby Orr (in Team Canada Uni action shot), Bobby Orr (Landscape picture of him diving or being tripped up) and a Willie O'Ree Brown Framed Auto.
