Hey all,

Well, I have now officially been a member for 2 years :). Over 13,000 and 285 feedbacks later, I'm still around and loving every minute of it. I want to thank everyone I have traded or chatted with, every friend i made on here and well, every member because you all contribute to making this an awesome site.

Anyhow, here are my top 10 SCF moments so far:

10) The excavation dig - Not everyone will get this one but if you were around for a certain break of Artifacts, you know exactly what I'm talking about. There is nothing like a crazy break thread and plenty of chatting in between each packs...

9) The Playoffs last year - During the playoffs last year I made quite a few Game Day Threads in the chat and it was so much fun to get all those replies. Once again brilliant interaction

8) Being asked to be the Editor in Chief of the article site. I started writing quite recently and I must say I was rather flaterred to be asked to take over the lead on the articles side of things. It made me realize how much my english has improved since I moved over here and it is a pleasure to work with the members to get content for the mag month after month

7) Guess the Hits sessions - In September, I was stuck at home with a knee injury and to cheer myself up I bought quite a few boxes. I was busting them way too fast though so to make them last, I started doing guess the hits box breaks. Since then, most of my breaks are done like this and I really enjoy sharing the CC with the members...

6) The Artifacts Group break which kept me up until 6 AM. Now that was a fun break! Of course I would say that considering I got a Roy 33/100 but it was just a great time

5) My Bleu, Blanc et Rouge break in the chat room. I had waited for that book for what had seemed like ages and to be rewarded with a Roy SP auto was just magical

4) The first time I bought a high end box and watching the break on youtube. Yup, I got a Superlative book last year and Tony broke it on video for me. Quite the gamble as these are expensive but hey, I got a Roy Holy Grail 6/9 so there were no complaints here

3) My guess the hit christmas edition contest - Maybe it was just because of the anticipation but it was awesome to have a build up to one of my biggest breaks ever. Thanks to everyone who entered, you all made it easier for me to wait until xmas to open my box. I must say, I really enjoy running contest and I love the fact that so many people are willing to take part in them.

2) The awesome presents I've received from my friends here on SCF. Let's just say that I have been rather spoiled present wise lately...If you've seen the threads, you know what I mean lol

1) Cleveland here I come! It's now official, I will be in Cleveland for the National Sports Collector Convention. I am completly psyched about that and I cannot wait to experience my first card show. Not only to buy but also to review and blog about it as well as meeting some people I have come to consider as very dear friends of mine...


Here's to hoping for many more years, posts, trades and memories. Thanks all!

Congrats Karine, all of those were great memories over the last 2 years (the dig was hysterical) I hope you realize you really are one of the SCF members that defines and exeplifies this site, there are a few members (at least as far as hockey goes, I dont venture out of there much) that when I think of SCF I think of them and you are one of them Karine. Thanks for making this site so much fun, I'm sure you'll be making it fun for a while!!!!

Coming to America....ummmm movie idea lol. Do let me know if you will, quite a few of us will be there, including the Sabres mafia kingpin himself: Scott... If you do, it will be nice to meet you.

Yeah Artifacts hasnt been as good for me as it has been in the last couple of years but oh well...win some lose some as they say...
