IrbeFan4Life - Arturs Irbe
It gives me great pleasure to welcome our newest Super Collector to the SCF Hockey Hall of Fame: IrbeFan4Life. Bruce has put together a truly spectacular Arturs Irbe collection that is certainly the most complete in existence. The collection spans over 20 years worth of hockey cards, and it is incredible to consider that Bruce only started putting together his collection in 2007!
Irbe was the goaltender for the San Jose Sharks during their original season, and he played with the team until 1996. His NHL career later included stops in Dallas, Vancouver, and Carolina, before he returned to Europe during the lockout year. Irbe retired in 2007 with a career NHL record of 218-236-79, and he has the distinction of being the first goalie to record an assist in an All-Star Game, which he accomplished in 1998-99 playing for the World All Stars Team. He is now the goaltending coach for the Washington Capitals.
Without any further ado, let's take a look at Bruce's collection stats!

Why supercollector: Why am I a Super Collector when it comes to my collection of Arturs Irbe? I believe that three things should allow me to be in this boat.
The first and probably the most obvious thing is simply the size of my collection. Not only do I have 662 different cards, and at least 20-30 other pieces of memorabilia, I also have nearly 500 duplicates to bring my grand total of Irbe cards to well over 1100. I have 75% of all of his memorabilia cards, 95.5% of all of his autograph cards and 96.5% of all of his base cards...the only missing being some unusual team issued ones and difficult to distinguish national version (Canadian/American). My percentage does go down when it comes to the one of ones and expos, as I was late to the Irbe collecting show (no pun intended). I started going full tilt in 2007, well over five years since Irbe\'s last expo was made, and yet, I was still able to acquire 73.7% of Irbe\'s total items. Without the count of expo cards and one of ones left in my remaining want list, my total completion would be 84.5% of Irbe\'s cards.
The second reason is simply how I am known in several locations throughout Canada, and one in San Jose. In Edmonton, the people at Wayne\'s Sports Cards and West\'s Sports Cards know me as the Irbe collector, and they often put Irbes aside for me from box breaks. People on the expo circuit know me as the crazy person who buys off their Irbe cards. The owner of Maple Leaf Sports Cards in Calgary does not know me by name, so to him, my name is \"the Irbe guy.\" Even in San Jose during a recent trip, I set myself up as the Irbe guy to the one decent hobby shop. I love being called \"the Irbe guy\", because that shows that I have collected enough of him and have proven my collection to others.
The third thing is the types of unique items I have of Irbe. I do not have 20 jerseys of his, or 500 hard-signed cards, but what I do have indicates the efficiency with which I have built my collection. For one, I have my autographed and heavily game-used stick, a jersey autographed by the entire 2001-02 Carolina Hurricanes Cup Finals team, a puck autographed by Irbe at the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, two autographed 8 x 10s, a rare Irbe lithograph, a custom McFarlane (which cost me $100), and two other figures. Heck, I even spent money on a limited-edition San Jose Sharks book, just to support Arturs Irbe\'s Kids-First Fund.
Why collecting: I started collecting Arturs Irbe because he is my favorite goalie and also my favorite player of all time. I was too young to have really paid attention to him in his early years (1991-1994), but believe me, once he became a Carolina Hurricane, I was following him like a mouse to cheese.
He was incredibly inspiring to me, as I once had dreams of NHL grandure which obviously did not come to fruition. He is a 5 foot 8 inch goaltender who took to the ice and often beat the best of them: Gretzky, Francis, Stevens, Roy, Brodeur, Bure, Hull, Forsberg, Yzerman, the list goes on. Even with his short stature he stood on his head and lasted an astounding 568 games in the NHL from 1991-2004, winning 218 of those and recording 33 shutouts. Had he not started off on a now-successful expansion team\'s awful formative years and had he not been attacked by his dog in Latvia, we would be praising his goaltending like we do with other greats like Hasek, Lundqvist, Brodeur and Roy. Though I have never met him, he also seemed like a nice guy, and that was very important for me in seeing him as a great goalie. To me, being great on the ice is only part of being great.
I also loved Irbe\'s goaltending equipment. Nobody in this day and age, nor during Irbe\'s playing years, wore the ancient JOFA series helmet and the trademark Koho pads of Irbe. The wear and tear visible on his equipment, and the unique helmet made him stand out to me, but I did not really know of a way to show off my fanmanship in the beginning (is that even a word...it is now!).
It all started, though with a faithful trip to Toronto for a Taekwondo tournament in 2004. During a break in the afternoon, I went to a nearby shopping mall. This mall was scary, as it was full of gang members and other dodgy characters, but I still went in and found a hobby shop (what are the odds?). Within, I purchased my first two cards of Arturs Irbe: a 1999-00 SP Authentic base card and a 2000-01 Topps Heritage base card. Afterwards, I was still dependent on my parents for income, so I was unable to pursue my collection further. One day, I discovered e-Bay and began my trek to be the best Irbe collector ever. Within a few years of beginning my collection, I was already among the best and proud of it. Now, I am slowly knocking off my remaining wants and waiting to get to over 90% completion, which will be an amazing milestone. Until then, I will still love my collection and follow Irbe\'s post NHL career. With his combination of heart, skill, humanitarianism, and his abi!
lity to be such a great sport despite some unfortunate seasons, Irbe can easily classified as one of the best to ever play the game.
Even to this day, whenever I hear a mention of Irbe on the NHL Network, TSN, or anywhere else, I start to get excited like a small child. I never want anyone to forget Irbe so whenever his name is mentioned, it is an indication that his name still carries some weight in the sporting world.
Go Irbe go!
Any thing else to add: [Left blank]
-----------------------------------------------------
Stats Total - 662/824 = 80.3%
Total minus 1/1s - 634/786 = 80.6%
RCs - 1/1 = 100%
AU - 21/22 - amazing!
MEM - 43/47 = 91.5%
----------------------------------------------------
The stats are spectacular, and so are the Top Ten!
I was thinking about my top ten, and this is what I believe to be a top ten...these cards and items mean a little bit more to me than the others:
10) This little card was a surprise as someone had asked about information regarding the parallel on Beckett. When I responded, they told me that not only did they have Brind'Amour, they had Irbe. Responding to PMs gets you places after all.
9) Put simply, #/30 + pack-pulled by the collector= great times. Just because I pack-pulled it in 2008 makes it one of my top ten.
8) This autograph is rare, books high, and has the cleanest design for an Irbe autograph out of them all. And it is #/50:
7) Although I was never the biggest fan of 2001-02 Titanium, this dual patch represents the pinnacle of what a nice non-shield patch can be:
6) One of the biggest surprises was this as a gift from my dad two Christmases ago. He somehow tracked this card down for $10, a steal for anything Irbe #/10:
5) This card was a tough one to come by, and one day, an e-Bay seller listed it and I had to hop on the Buy It Now Price.
4) This buyback auto was one of my dreams for the Irbe collection, and one year ago, I added it into my collection. It is #d out of 8:
3) I do not see this as three cards, rather one happy family (#/60, #/9, and #/1)
2) This one is by far my favorite piece as Irbe hardly ever let anyone touch his equipment, much less brutalize it in such a way:
1) To no one's surprise, my autographed and game-used Irbe stick as at the number one spot:
What a fantastic collection of one of the NHL's most under-rated goalies.
Finally, a few words from our newest Super Collector himself:
A huge thank you goes out to everyone I have traded with and purchased from on Beckett, SCF, E-Bay, and other sites.
The biggest thank you goes out to my dad, who on countless occasions, has helped by buying some higher priced Irbes on e-Bay, and by buying me unexpected and expensive amounts of Irbes as Christmas gifts. This would not be possible without him, as my resourcefullness is just not quite at the level that his is at.
Sincerely,
Bruce C. (IrbeFan4Life)

That Irbe stick really looks like its stopped a lot of shots. A very nice crowning piece to an extensive collection.
Congrats on your Supercollector status! Now everyone is going to go to you when they have an Irbe card to trade. Hopefully that's what you want ;)
Cheers,

Thanks for the comments everyone. This thread is something that really makes me proud.
Since I submitted my application for Super Collector status, I have already knocked off one early year parallel and one of the remaining base cards. I'm just waiting for those to get into my hands.

Very nice! The stick is an obvious pick at number one..... but really like some of those other cards included.
You've got a really great collection. Like Harri said...... welcome to the club! :)
