I scream when it comes to hockey cards. growing up in nova scotia I collected cards from about 1965 - 1976. (mostly for the gum) as kids we would trade them,pin them on the bedroom wall and even stick them in our bicycle spokes. my favorete team was boston in those days and of course Bobby Orr was my fav and I wouldn't think about putting an orr or esposito card in my spokes and I had at least 3 full rosters from the 1970 and 1972 cup teams, plus the "big" ones...three Topps Bobby Orr rookie cards.

You see in 1981 when I came to Calgary I thought it would be for about 6 months to work with an uncle but I ended up staying...a few years later my dad sold the house and threw 3 boxes of cards in the dump.
