players collecting cards

[comfortably9numb]

does anyone know if there are a lot of players that collect cards? either of themselves or other players...i always wondered that...in fact...i wonder if there are players on this site that play in the NHL ;)

I know that Peter Bondra collected stuff of himself - not just cards, even yogurt pots with his image on!

Patrick Roy has a massive card collection.

I've heard that Mama Weber keeps a pretty good collection of Shea Weber cards, and is even rumoured to have Shea's The Cup Black Rainbow 1/1.

I am sure that there are others out there.

Many players do collect cards but you hear about it in interview and not because they hang around on trade site. If one do, he would probably not be using his real name. I know one member that is related to Mike Bossy and actualy own a card shop in Quebec (montreal island I think) and has big collection of Bossy. Not sure if it;'s his brother.

I think Fleury collects...just heard someone mention that on the boards.

kinda cool.

but it would be weird signing cards and then spending money on your own signature lol

I can't remember who it was but there was cribs edition with a player and he showed some of his collection but I honestly can't remember who it was. I think maybe it was flower but I could be wrong.

I know some other video's I have watched the Schenn brother either still do or used to collecct cards. Hall and Ovie both looked very interested when I've seen video's of them opening boxes.

I've read (in a magazine) that Patrick Roy has quite an impressive collection of vintage cards. Also Ryan Miller is a card collector, but if he's collecting his own cards or someone elses, I don't know.

I read in an issue of Beckett that Jonathan Cheechoo picked up a Sakic card when he was drafted, so I bet he is/was a Sakic collector.
