Guest article by Inferno
As many SCF members know, at least the ones who roam the Hockey boards, I am a dedicated Marian Gaborik collector. I have only been collecting Gaborik for maybe five months now, but my collection has been steadily improving. In a big way, the driving force behind the growth of my collection has been the help from fellow Gaborik collectors. Yes that’s right, other Gaborik collectors.

By Karine Hains, Editor-in-Chief
Isn’t it great to live in the 21st century and to be able to use all the technology which is at our fingertips in our collecting endeavors? You want to know the value of a card? There’s no need to go out and get a magazine. You want to buy a box? There’s no need to go to a hobby shop. You want to trade cards? Well I suppose you could meet up with friends and try to work out some trades but what if your friends don’t collect? That’s right you can do all these things More >
