Author - StevenWelcome to my blog! I collect hockey cards since my godmother gave me three packs of 1991-92 Pro Set for my 7th birthday. After collecting sets when I was young, my collection now focuses only on Pavel Bure! Here I'll talk about some accomplishments, stories, and rants about the hobby. |
I only bought one card since the beginning of my "diet" of the hobby. One. Single. Card. For me, it was unimaginable a couple of years ago. But I get used to it. I feel way less pressured to buy cards I need now. I also have better things to do. My mind is interested in something else right now. I know for a fact that I'll jump back into it someday, I just don't know when, and you know what? It's ok for me. But let's get back into that card. If I get back into the hobby for a brief moment, it's because of cards like that, the ones I didn't know the existence and when I'm aware of it, couldn't find anywhere. It was when I started to put my ultimate checklist of Bure five years ago. I literally dozens and dozens of hours onto it, writing each line by myself, the year, the set, the number, and the print run. I bought the annual Beckett and going through each line of text to see his name. I thought that my checklist was near perfection, but damn I was so wrong, mostly on the oddball side. Here comes the 1991-92 Parkhurst auto from The Score Board company. My first glimpse at that was through my good friend Henrik and his website. When I first saw it, I was: "there's a card who is 24 years old, and I didn't know that? How cool is that!" I start beginning my researches on this card numbered to 1991 autographed by Bure with this COA of president Paul Goldin.
The Score Board company was an autographed/memorabilia enterprise back in the late '80s. It was a father/son business. It was essentially baseball and basketball, but later on, they incorporate hockey as well. It took me a heck of a time to finally being able to grab one. I found it three weeks ago, and it finally arrived at my door last Friday. I'm thrilled to get this one into the collection, its an interesting piece for sure! I think it deserves the right to have its blog post at this point! So, I'm going back to my hibernation and into scanning my collection. A lot of cards are in the verge of coming into light and I can't wait to show them to the community. Stay safe my friends! Cheers!
