My Toronto Maple Leafs Young Guns Collection

Moved it for ya!

And nice job with the pickups! Those Exclusives, in particular. You pull all of them (that'd be crazy luck)

Thanks for moving! Wish I could say I pulled all those exclusives, but Nylander is the only one I pulled. Most came from trades, the Marner I purchased from a member here for a very fair price!

Since the days of Cujo & Belfour its basically been a goalie carousel in Toronto. Missed pick after pick while alot of really good goalies were picked after we made our picks. Bad drafting at its finest!! Its been that way for as long as i can remember but its looks as though those days are gone now that we got that genious Lamoriello. Andersen looks like he might be here for a bit though we didnt draft him. I think Sparks one day could be a good goalie in this league if he ever gets a chance again. Not sure why he wasnt with the club this year. I know Mcilhinney is the back up & played some pretty solid games down the stretch for the Leafs but i think Sparks might have been a better back up to Andersen, plus we would get to see if he can play in this League.From what i seen of his play in the year before this one i think he can play in the NHL..

Awesome pickups once again! Those UD Ice cards look great this year.

Went to a local cardshow today and picked up some nice cards, so decided to share again. The last card on this update is now a centrepiece of the collection, easily one of my favs! It was a very William Nylander themed day!

First up, a few lower end cards. There were so many retro Matthews at the show today, at least 30 or 40, so I walked around and found the cheapest one, which was this one for $10.

Black diamond rookie dual booklet of Kasperi Kapanen. Have the Nylander incoming so decided to grab this too. Was able to work out a trade.

And finally, the really sweet one of the day- Fleer showcase hot prospects auto Nylander 29/299 (jersey number!!) Really love the look of this card, the prevalence of 2 and 9 especially, 29, 299 and the angle of the photo shows the 29 clearly on Nylander's arm.

Bit of a funny story with this one, I was talking to one of the vendors and another customer came up holding the card to try and sell it. They did not work out a deal, so I immediately asked him what he wanted. He said $65 which isn't crazy, but I wanted to look around some more first. I said I would let him know asap. Looked around the room 10 minutes later and that guy was gone, thought I blew my chance. Right as I was leaving, I went to say goodbye to a different vendor and sure enough, there it was in his case. We worked out a deal and the card is coming home to the PC!

Awesome updates, and that last one looked like hockey card fate that it's now in your PC. Great story, and congrats on all of these new cards!

Thanks for sharing. Some amazing cards you have. I have also been a lifelong fan of the Leafs. I was 7 months old when they last won the cup and it has been all down hill since then for me lol! I also have a huge Leaf collection but only collected the Upper Deck set this year and refrained from others sets due to the cost of some of them. Love seeing all your pickups though.

Thank you for sharing that, I appreciate it and am glad you enjoy the posts! I will definitely keep updating as new pickups happen
