Random.org chose the following as my random card of the day. This 1993 Score Black's Toronto Maple Leafs Pop-ups #15 featuring Bill Berg.
I'd been trying to find a copy of this card for years, without success, I mean I'm guessing I'm the only person on TCDB with Berg listed as one of their favourite players. One time I saw the full set on offer, but for an outrageous price. Then I was doing a trade with another local TCDB member and saw they had it for offer, and very generously they sent it to me as a PIF. Shout out to the great TCDB community.
I currently own 18 Berg cards and 1,739 Toronto Maple Leafs cards.
My favourite new card I added to my catalogue recently is this 2003 Topps C55 #43 featuring Felix Potvin of the Boston Bruins.
Why ? Because it's The Cat. Nuff said. Although Felix just doesn't look right in any uniform other than the Leafs. Vancouver, Los Angeles, the Islanders don't look right, but a Bruins uniform is especially jarring.
New additions to my all-time roster project catalogued yesterday were:
- Philadelphia Flyers player #159 - Adam Ginning
- Philadelphia Flyers player #160 - Samuel Ersson
- Philadelphia Flyers player #161 - Tyson Foerster
My All-time roster project now stands at 15,19 combinations.
My random postcard of the day is this card from Malaysia (at least sent from there) featuring 2 Eurasian Cranes.
That 1993 Score Black's Maple Leafs pop-up card is really cool. Never seen one before.
ReplyDeleteI assume they were local to the Toronto area. Black's is/was a camera shop chain. Not sure if they are still around.
DeleteNot sure how they were distributed. Buy a camera, get a pack seems pretty inefficient. Maybe you got the whole set with a large enough purchase.
Black's is no longer the company they once were. They went out of business about a decade ago but their rights were sold to another company. Now they are online only.
DeleteI too have listed as my favourite players a few that nobody else would ever choose!
