Thought I'd share this year's crop in preparation for the upcoming UNO hockey season (thanks CHL). Can't wait for the puck to drop. Pre-season (no off-season) takes too long.

Both my Penguins and local college (and ex) player collections continue to grow. Got these cards in yesterday's mail. Can't wait for the season to begin.

Decided last minute to hit this weekend's "Road to the National" across the river from me in Council Bluffs today. These were the pickups. I spent more on the top loaders than I did on the cards AND admission combined. Not too shabby.

Just some more players to add to my college collection. Love adding to it, even if I didn't need more Guentzel cards (is there a such thing as too many?).

Thought I'd buy a box of extended series hockey cards and these were the pulls. I will say I'm impressed with the 4 Nations Face-off cards, including a McDavid.
