A Canadian, a Blue Jay (who got away) and a Pretty Useless Map

 Random.org chose the following as my random card of the day. This 2017 Upper Deck Team Canada #44 featuring Sam Reinhart.

Reinhart has to be the least likely 57 goal scorer in the history of the NHL. Seriously, where did that come from. Can't say I watched many Panther games at all last year, not sure if he just got on an insane heater or what. Zach Hyman's 54 last year were slightly less surprising since he rides shotgun on the wing of the best player in the world.

I currently own 28 Reinhart cards and 407 Team Canada cards.

My favourite new card I added to my catalogue recently is this 2022 Bowman Chrome - 2021 AFL Fall Stars insert #AFLS-14 featuring Gabriel Moreno of the Toronto Blue Jays

Why ? Because Toronto sports fans are destined to suffer.

No links to the cards today, more than half don't have an image on TCDB, and until I can find time to fire up the scanner, doesn't make sense trying to figure out which do and which don't. 

My All-time roster project now stands at 15,243 combinations. The 2 new teams represented by a first card bring the unique number of teams to 953.

My random postcard of the day is this card from Mexico City, Mexico featuring a stylized map of the city centre.

This card is unwritten and was bought when I was on an extended work assignment living in Mexico City. I currently have 99 catalogued postcards from Mexico.

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.

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

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 Blue Jay, A Canadian and a Bridge

 Random.org chose the following as my random card of the day. This 2022 Topps Chrome #36 featuring Alek Manoah of the Toronto Blue Jays. It's been hard enough to be a Jays fan this year, then Random.org has to deliver this swift kick to the babymaker just to rub it in. Who knows, maybe Manoah can get back to his All-Star form after he recovers from his arm tuneup.

I currently own 17 Manoah cards and 769 Blue Jays cards.

My favourite new card I added to my catalogue yesterday is this 2022 Upper Deck Team Canada Juniors - Team Canada Acetates #CA-23 featuring Grayden Siepmann of Team Canada. hits two sweet spots in my collecting likes, Team Canada and an acetate card, even if this one isn't quite a full-on acetate.

New additions to my all-time roster project catalogued yesterday were none. I didn't catalog any cards yesterday, spent time on other organizing.

My All-time roster project now (still) stands at 15,113 entries.

My random postcard of the day is this card from Bosnia & Herzegovina featuring the old town of Mostar at night. It is unwritten, and I acquired this card through an online postcard exchange group. I currently own 5 postcards from Bosnia & Herzegovina.
