Oct 23/2013- Success, mail , the Bump , etc

First off.  Today is the anniversary of the Bump.  The Springhill mining disaster occurred 55 years ago today. So dust off the U2 records and cassettes and listen to their song about the event.

I have a full set of 2001-02 Topps Stadium Club hockey Master Photos.  I acquired the last one needed and it arrived today.  Card number 40 , Teemu Selanne was very elusive but I did finally get it.

So what next??

I have more than 100 of the award winners.

Plus the deal that brought me the Selanne netted numerous additional Master Photos.  I currently have 70/140 towards a second set plus some trips and quads.

Other mail today:

Saku Koivu - Gallery gold from Parallel Dave

Markus Naslund- Award Winner from COMC.  The ship out of Canada and the US depending on where the cards are warehoused.  The balance of the order will arrive later.

Making a push

It has been almost 4 years with no progress upticking from 139/140 to 140/140.

Selanne remains ever elusive.  I have ebay alerts set up.  I search foreign ebay sites.  I use various search engines.  I troll the trading sites and beckett.com.  But I am yet to have success.

I have started trading at Sports Card Forum.  The have a good trading system and excellent card organizer.

I landed an Allison Award winner that i needed and an extra Jeff Friesen.

Agreed to buy a Koivu Gallery gold from Parallel Dave.



Working on a big deal ATM plus some ebay bids and maybe shop purchases.  So all in all lots of action
