A Penguin, a Seagull and a Subway

 Random.org chose the following as my random card of the day. This 2023 Tim Hortons Legends - Canvas Legends #CL-10 featuring Mario Lemieux of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Random.org seems to be on a hockey kick as I think this is now 6 days in a row where our random has drawn a hockey card. Not surprising since hockey is the largest segment in my collection. Sometimes card companies stretch things just a bit in 'legends' etc type inserts, but I'm gonna say they got this one right. I managed to pull 14 of the 15 cards in the set. Is it too corny to say the hole in my set is the man himself Tim Horton ?

I currently own 53 Lemieux cards and 777 Pittsburgh Penguins cards.

My favourite new card I added to my catalogue recently is this 2022 Panini Select Premier League #250 featuring Evan Ferguson of Brighton & Hove Albion. 

Picked by virtue of being the 1000th soccer card I've logged into my collection. The team I support isn't in the English Premier League, but that league obviously gets the most coverage here in Canada, and if there is a team I can say I support in that league, it would be Brighton. So that would explain picking the card up. Sounds like Ferguson may be on his way out the door to Man Utd. Such is life as a selling club. If they get 50 million for him, history suggests they'll use it wisely.

New additions to my all-time roster project catalogued yesterday were none. Hopefully can get a little cataloguing done tomorrow.

My All-time roster project now stands at 15,176 combinations.

My random postcard of the day is this card from Toronto showing a M-1 class TTC subway train.

Trains are cool, train postcards are cool. I bought this card at a local(ish) railway museum. Rail museums are cool too. I have currently catalogued 566 postcards from Canada.

Some Canadians, a Penguin and a House of Something Rotten

 Random.org chose the following as my random card of the day. This 1991 Future Trends Canada '72 #60 featuring Team Canada players on the front (shown) and Soviet players on the back.

I guess it was only a matter of time until Random.org picked some junk wax, so here it is. Not really my cup of tea as a set, maybe it would resonate more with me were I able to remember the Summit Series, but its just highlights for me.

I currently own 406 cards featuring Team Canada players.

My favourite new card I added to my catalogue recently is this 2006 Upper Deck Beehive #21 featuring Marc-Andre Fleury of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

I do kind of like this set, and probably should work on further completing it. It's old-timey enough looking without being gimmicky like say Allen & Ginter to hit the sweet spot.

My random postcard of the day is this card from Helsingor in Denmark featuring Kronborg Castle.

Helsingor castle is of course notable as the setting for Hamlet. It's also the resting place of Ogier the Dane who sleeps there until he is needed to rescue Denmark.

This card is unwritten, and I would have bought it myself when living in Denmark. I currently own 698 postcards from Denmark.

A Royal, A Penguin and a Lake

 Random.org chose the following as my random card of the day. 2013 Topps #268 featuring David Lough of the Kansas City Royals.

I currently own 1 card of Lough and 376 Kansas City Royals cards

My favourite new card I added to my catalogue yesterday is this 2010 Panini Pinnacle hockey #44 featuring Marc-Andre Fleury of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Fleury is of course still active and a likely surefire Hall of Famer once he retires. Chosen simply because I like the action shot.

New additions to my all-time roster project catalogued yesterday were:

• Seattle Mariners player #118 - Eugenio Suarez
• Toronto Blue Jays player #304 - Connor Greene
• Canada (hockey) player #146 - Reid Dyck
• Florida Gators (football) player #8 - Anthony Richardson
• Denver Broncos player #63 - Montrell Washington
• Mississippi St. Bulldogs (football) player #4 - Martin Emerson

My random postcard of the day is this card from Burk's Falls, Ontario in Canada. This card is unused and bought from an antique mall vendor. I currently own 565 postcards from Canada.
