Congrats Billy, you have taken on a huge endeavour in expanding your collection. I myself limit my colleting to baseball as I find there is too much out there and not enough money inmy pocket or roomin my cave.

Just a bit of advice in picking your team - the Blue and White of the Toronto team is the greatest with the greatest following - jump on this wagon. The Oil out west is dropping in value all the time - don't invest in it. When Martin Brodeur retired,sodidthe Devils in New Jersey, from a competetive team. And the Avalanche has found its way to the base (bottom) of the mountain.

I thought I might get a response or two. All the fun of being sports fans. ------------------------------- Bruno -------- Check my Profile page to see my 2023 Goals and my Lists of sets near completion (5 cards or less) or sets getting close (less than 100 cards missing and 75% complete). https://www.tcdb.com/Forum.cfm/Page/B/ID/0/?MODE=VIEW&ThreadID=25745&C=0

I'm always up for trading...I have not got any idea yet what I want to trade for (ok, I do, pretty much anything that exists!) or what is wanted from me. I'll accept pretty much any trade but I have not quite figured out how to work the trade creator feature on here yet. (True story, last week I panicked thinking my new scanner had died, less than a year old...turned out it was siimply unplugged!)

Most likely I will do like the NBA and support every team...if there was a team that wore green and yellow I'd probably pick them as favorites, my two favorite colors. Doesn't seem like there is though

-------------------------------

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Been an interesting project.

I am already steering Billy towards the Sabres. Nice young, small market team in New York state close to Billy.

Green and yellow? Sounds like you want to collect cards from the defunct California Golden Seals!

Yeah, those uniforms are pretty great!

I'm kind of leaning towards the new Las Vegas team, the Golden Knights, to be "my team". After all, I basically started watching because of them...as I said on the blog I put on NHL Network to see the new team's logo and left it on...I liked what I saw and have been watching regularly ever since. Watching the Devils at Wild right now, in fact.
