Im not a hockey collector, but enjoyed the article in the new SMR which was written by our own GoSoxBoSox.
It also noted that the pictures of the cards were provided by, again our own, yawie 99.

I got my today, great article.. I noticed that Tom Papa was the author, but didnt notice Steve provided the pics..
way to go BoSox and Yawie!
See....Cub fans can be civil too.
This was one of the better articles I have read in the SMR for awhile. I especially liked figure 1 and 2 tracking the graded cards. I look on the online SMR for my old golf cards and check the submission numbers and print them off occasionally to see what the new submissions are grading.
Great job!

It's these type of collector articles that keep SMR fresh and interesting.
too many stats, too much bland supply and demand
type stuff.
there was no passion, no love of hockey, no love of
the chase, no mention that we may lose the whole
darn hockey season due to the greed of the owners and
players.
those old timers should be honored; the only thing
that stopped them from playing was the influenza pandemic
in 1918-19. george vezina played the latter part of this
legendary carerr w/ advanced tuberculosis.
the players from that age are more to me than a psa set
registry stat. this article was Part 1, i hope Part
reads less like a stock offering and shows the true
passion of a vintage hockey collector.
but I've never been wrong
it seldom turns out the way
it does in the song
once in a while
you get shown the light
in the strangest of places
if you look at it right
I was a bit pissed that they split the article into two parts because Part I is indeed the analytial part and Part II is indeed the tribute to the old timers. The article is no masterpiece but it would certainly read a lot better if it wasn't split into two parts. Heck ....I didn't even know it had officially been split until a reader informed me. But I appraciate your patience Vinny. Classy move on your part by taking shots before you read the entire article.

Sorry you feel the article is missing these elements. I know one thing ....the fact that I wrote the article shows my passion and a love for collecting pre-war hockey. As far as the current NHL season goes ....it was indeed mentioned. However, the lockout is irrelevant to collecting pre-war hockey cards.
