Sweet MAF Dave and nice 71/72s. Are u going for the whole set? Seems like you got many of the big ones out of the way already.

 

[pghbuccos]

thanks Bilko and yes I decided over the weekend to go try for the 1971-72 Topps set.

Forgot to post these guys a few days ago. I bought the Hitmen team set on Saturday. Here's a couple cards from the set of LA Kings top prospects Martin Jones and Brandon Kozun. I haven't totally decided yet or not, but i might start super collecting one of these guys once they start getting their NHL rookie cards.

Set up My MAF McFarlane too. Is it ever sweet. Waited a long time to finally get a MAF McFarlane, but definitely worth the wait

KOZ is a great name! collect him!

Yeah well he will probably have NHL licensed RCs next year (and the soonest out of the two). He just signed a 3 year deal with LA Kings a couple weeks back. He has a ton of potential as he led the WHL in scoring this year. The only knock oh him is his size. He is only 5'9" and 170 pounds. But who knows maybe he'll be the next Marc Savard, Martin St. Louis or Theo Fleury type of player.

Who knows when Martin Jones will get a shot in the NHL (and get RCs). This was his last year of Junior so i am assuming he will be heading to LA Kings AHL affiliate next year. LA has so many good young goalies, that Jones might not get a shot for years.

Nice Neal. Kid has a heck of a lot of talent. If he stays healthy he could score 30-40 goals next year.

Not what i normally pick up, but had to have it

$6.50

This card makes me wonder.....in the history of the four Pro sports, has there ever been a Father/Son combo that were both Captains of the same franchise? Paul is well on his way.

Awesome pick up!!! As for your question, maybe Gordie Howe and Mark Howe? They did play for 3 of the same franchises, Houston Aeros, Hartford Whalers and Detroit Red Wings. Yzerman was captain when Mark Howe played there, but possibly both in Hartford-New England Whalers? I bet they were at least Captain and assistant.
