It’s been a dog’s age since I posted up here. I started my Mantel account with the full intention of sharing up my collection. Not long after starting Mantel, my 26 year old son passed from this world to the next. Understandably, I took a giant step back from a lot of things, card collecting included. At the suggestion of my grief counsellor, I was advised to find one thing that brought me happiness before his passing. I decided to dust off the ol storage boxes and get back into the hobby. No longer am I chasing the big YGs l of the week, but now I focus exclusively on collecting Indigenous players. I’ve leaned into it pretty hard, creating FB, IG, and TikTok accounts for Diceman…follow me up if you like. My goal is to have the largest collection of Indigenous hockey players from all levels of hockey, grow my collector network, and one day, launch a podcast about my story. Please join me in this journey, and if you’ve made it this far, thanks for reading…and see you next pack.

For my first post back, please check out my Rookie Materials patch /25 of Calen Addison (Métis), thanks again.
