The Hockey Team is proud to announce the first inductee to its Super Collector Hall of Fame; Kelly Tackaberry aka Lumm0x.

Kelly is an avid collector of one of the top rookies of the 2005-2006 crop; Jeff Carter. Philadelphia’s 1st selection in the 2003 entry draft and 11th overall, the 24 year old centre has truly made his mark on the NHL since arriving. He currently leads the NHL with 30 goals and is also Philadelphia’s leading scorer ahead of Mike Richards.

To fully appreciate, Kelly’s collection, we must look at some numbers. Below is a report of the cards he owns.

91% of all cards owned
247 base set cards
1010 rookie year cards - only has 18 true RC's- have them all in numerous copies of each
318 autos
331 game used

These are only a few examples, but if you want to see everything he has, you can browse his bucket which is helpfully divided in the following categories:

- 04-05 Pre NHL cards: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v397/lumm0x/Jeff%20Carter%20PC/04-05%20Cards/
- 05-06 Rookie Year cards: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v397/lumm0x/Jeff%20Carter%20PC/05-06%20Cards/?start=all
- 06-07 Sophomore cards: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v397/lumm0x/Jeff%20Carter%20PC/06-07%20Cards/?start=all
- 07-08 3rd Season cards: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v397/lumm0x/Jeff%20Carter%20PC/07-08%20Cards/?start=all

We asked Kelly why he decided to collect Jeff Carter and this was his reply: “I first started collecting him after seeing him excel at the World Junior Championships and finding out he had been drafted by my favorite team; the Philadelphia Flyers. I thought his size, speed and offensive potential would ensure his success in the league. He has realized that potential this season leading the NHL in goals and his team in points”.

We also ask every applicant Super Collector to explain why they believe they deserve to be inducted in our Hall of Fame and this is what he had to say: “I think it speaks for itself [his collection]. It has quantity, quality and encompasses the high majority of everything released for him in the card hobby. My collection not only has the quality of cards such as all of the major 1/1's including everything from The Cup, Ultimate, etc., but it has every card and many quality cards in large volume. For example Carter has the SP Authentic FW auto/patch limited to 100 copies. I currently possess 16 copies of this rarely seen card. All his true rookies are found in volume, condition and with a nice assortment of autos and patches. I would be very surprised if anyone had a comparable collection in terms of value and numbers from such a highly sought after collecting year in the hockey hobby. Last checked, with over 200 cards priced N/A due to scarcity, my BV listed above $30000 on this collection alone.”

Please take a few minute to browse Kelly’s collection and to comment on his outstanding achievement. He truly is a Super Collector and I only wish I could get such a collection myself.

Reply and comment are welcome. The restiction is on posting new thread as we want to make one thread per Super Collector.

Congradulation on the collection, it's really nice to be able to see them all into one collection.

WOW. WOW. WOW. i really dont think ive ever seen a better collection. its one thing to put together a huge collection of some cheap-low demand player, but carter is a star with pretty decent value. the depth to your collection is crazy! and the amount of money invested in all products ranging from an unbelievable collection of victory rc's, to the highest of high end from the cup, is just awesome. and the fact that there are multiple sets like honorable numbers where you own about half of the production run is equally as impressive. if this is the standard for being a super collector i doubt anyone qualifies. congrats

Couldn't agree with what you said above.

Thanks for sharing your collection and glad to have you aboard as a SCF Super Collector. It a testament to your collection as the member above stated. Time and money only to name a few things to put such a nice collection together.

I've browsed Kelly's collection a few times... very impressive! Congrats to you for all your hard work in building such an impressive collection.

:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

Congrats from the BKB side :)....insane collection there

That is just AWESOME!!!!!! That has to be one of the most amazing collections I have ever seen. I think that must have been an easy decision for the mods to make. I think it's the duplicates of the High end stuff that gets me .

Congrads an very deserving
Chris

Killer collection and an awesome player that is blossoming into an elite sniper this year!

Congrats, Nathan

This is quite the impressive collection. If this isn't a run away winner of this badge for the supercollectors, I can't imagine what is. Puts my own submission to shame!

Now I know who to contact to trade any Jeff Carter cards I pull.

Cheers,
reoddai

Awesome collection!!!! And welcome to the Super Collector Hall of Fame!!!!

Congrats, your collection was one of the best we have seen :)

Jeff Carter def needs more notice, such a great player for the Flyers. Insanely great collection. It ranks up there with 1/1 collection wise.

Thats setting the bar way up there.............

Thank you for all the nice comments. A few new additions lately and I still need to scan up the 08-09 stuff. I like having a handful of cards to chase per set, but some products can sure be player killers.

Looking forward to seeing some more additions to the club here. Seeing Nathan's stuff sure makes me wish Philly produced patches the way the Bruins and many others have the ability to do.

Keep collecting everyone. :boxing:

That is one of the best collections I have every seen!!!

I wish my Sundin collection could be as nice but with all the cards he has and all the money it would cost I won't be able to get to the Super Collector level.

I really cant explain that collection in words lol...Im glad our trade a couple days ago will add a couple more autos to that ridiculous collection. Congrats on the sick Carter PC

Very impressive!

An amazing display of Carter goodies. What a year that dude is having as well. Man, seeing all this amazing stuff makes my head spin.

That is the craziest I have seen so far ...
No way u're married...

Truly an awesome PC!

Awsome collection....Love the 05/06 Black Rainbow Cup rookie!!! what a beauty!

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v397/lumm0x/Jeff%20Carter%20PC/08-09%20Cards/?start=all

Looking forward to the 09-10 season for some new game play and the cardboard that follows.

All of the kind words are appreciated. It truly is a hobby and adds a little escape from every day life.

Nice collection indeed Kelly, especially the shields and sweet looking patches!!

Kelly, awesome collection. I love Carter and I think all the 30 teams would like to have him on their team.

I hope one day that my collection will be as outstanding as yours!

nice collection

Near perfection on this collection. Nice job!

Steve
