Got a chance to open a few boxes of 2008/09 Fleer Ultra Hockey for the chat today and we ended up pulling an Essential Credentials Green /85 Heatley and a Bobby Orr Jambalaya! (TCDB has it listed at 1:864 packs)

I sat on it for a few days and thought about what my first post on Mantel should be. How about an introduction? I’m Troy and I’m (whispers) a breaker for Dave & Adam’s. I know sometimes “breaker” can be as dirty of a word as any when it comes to the hobby. First and foremost, I’m a collector! After using my college degree to work in tv news for a few years, I got the amazing opportunity to do what I do now and it’s taken me to places and allowed me to talk to people I never thought of even in my craziest dreams. My personal collection consists of anything late 90s/early 00s from wrestling to music, and everything in between! I hope to share old wax I’m buying and ripping, singles I pick up, cards I grade, and the big hits we pull for customers! If you have any suggestions for me and my experience on Mantel, please share! Cheers!
