Part ll of this blog series, How To Start A Hockey Card Collection: Player Collecting is now Live.

UPDATE: As a sudden twist of fate, it looks like Panini will continue to keep honoring Expired redemptions, as long as they still have the card. If they don't, your redemption will be replaced with Panini Points. The number of Points will be determined by Panini.

This is a welcomed piece of news for collectors after it appeared Panini were putting a stop to their very generous redemption program after all these years.

Big News: After some thought, I've decided to extend my set collection by adding these 40 Win Club cards into my ongoing 300 Win Club set.

Shockingly uneventful, I know. :)

These 40 Win Club cards were the latest edition to the A Piece of History memorabilia card set as far as the goaltenders go. They debut in 2018-19 SP Game Used, and the ongoing set has seen a few more additions as of this year's recent 2019-20 SP Game Used product release.

These cards follow the same design are the other APOH sets, while now being green and serial numbered #/99 for some added rarity. Already I've seen some steep competition for these memorabilia cards, especially for the Gold variations serial numbered #/15 (which, for the sake of my wallet, I will not be chasing). These reoccurring A Piece of History sets have had a massive following for almost two decades and it still continues today. While the goalies in these sets are fairly new, it's still cool to see a single set have that much demand in the hobby, even after that much time has passed.

​I really like everything about this set, so while I had some time today looking at my 300 Win Club cards, I decided  to try for these cards as well. If I'm being honest, this whole quarantine thing is probably making me do this! Haha, oh well, these will make for some awesome adds to my set. 

​Here's a list of the 7 cards I need in this small 40 Win Club set, which will no doubt see some more additions in the coming year(s):

​40-CH Connor Hellebuyck /99
40-PR Patrick Roy /99
40-RL Roberto Luongo /99
40-AV Andrei Vasilevskiy /99
40-CP Carey Price /99
40-MB Martin Brodeur /99 (Incoming)
40-PR Pekka Rinne /99

If you have any of these cards for my set, please let me know. Thanks!

 The KHL season may be finished, but the KHL-related cards keep on coming in! 

This latest Enroth addition is from the 2019-20 SeReal KHL 12th Season Collection and features a Script (Facsimile) Autograph. This is basically the equivalent of the KHL'S MVP-type cards we have over here in North America, produced by Upper Deck.

Dinamo Minsk participated in their biggest rebranding in the history of the franchise to start the 2019-2020 season, which makes their new cards really pop this year after switching to a brand new colour scheme and team logo.

​ I just love the powder blue on the card, as it really stands out among the other cards in my collection. 

These Script Autograph cards are rumoured to have around 70 copies of each player, maybe more, making these low-end cards relatively scarce, especially coming from across the globe. I'm glad I was able to secure my copy now before the well dries up on these cards. Though these cards may not come with real autographs, I still really like the look of these types of cards in my collection. Every addition is a good addition! 

​Here's a look at the Script Autograph cards from the last two years of this SeReal product:

As you can probably guess from speaking with me for any amount of time, I'm a huge Toronto Maple Leafs fan. Born and raised out side of Toronto,my hand was pretty much forced into what team you're going to be cheering for. As far as cards go, while I have gone a different direction in my own PC and do not hoard Leafs cards, I always do enjoy seeing team/player collectors who do focus on the Maple Leafs.

This next collector featured here fits that bill perfectly. 

Whether you're a Leafs fan or not, I think you'll really appreciate his next collection. I'm super stoked to feature on this blog due to satisfy my inner crazy Leafs fan.

Back again with another Collector's Corner post! This week I am featuring Joe's extraordinary Larry Murphy collection. I've known Joe for awhile on Hobby Insider and he can always be your go-to guy on there to talk cards. I mean, we all talk about cards, but Joe's just really shines through when he speaks about his collection or encouraging your own collecting habits, so I was more than happy to help feature his collection when he inquired about it.

Let the Larry Murphy show and tell begin...
