jammer2 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 If you are a fan of hockey history and collecting hockey memorabilia, this wicked collection should be right up your alley. It's made by Canada Post and the Hockey Hall of Fame. It is a tad pricey...there are 5 altogether (still waiting for 2 more to be released) and they are 100 bucks each.....but honestly, worth every damn penny. Each book comes in hardcover. They also include stamps, rare cards and coins commemorating the different trophies. 2013 - Series #1 This one is a tribute to Canada's nhl teams and selected trophies. Stamps for each team and a rare Wayne Gretzky card from his Oiler days. They all have very cool write ups (done by the hall of fame). Also has another stamp collection at the end, this time with Canadian Team Logo's. https://www.canadapost.ca/shop/nhl-collectors-album/p-341973.jsf;CPO_JSESSIONID=ajRZElsGC7PL8Fmz2uJ5Sw1pW2XgQlrBjEsb_t5g6jlo2_Ttqqxz!-2046024084?execution=e1s1 2014- Series #2 This book is about Great Canadian Defensemen. Sections, Stamps and rare cards of Bobby Orr, Tim Horton, Pierre Pilote, Red Kelly, Harry Howell and Doug Harvey. https://www.canadapost.ca/shop/sports/edmonton-oilers/p-342000.jsf?execution=e1s1 2015-Series #3 6 Great Canadian Goalies....Ken Dryden, Tony Esposito, Johnny Bower, Gump Worsley, Martin Brodeur and last but not least....Bernie Parent. There is rare cards and stamps for each player. https://www.canadapost.ca/shop/great-canadian-goalies/p-342051.jsf?LOCALE=en Each book comes with Certificate of Authencity and guaranteed to be less than 10,000 in circulation. Waiting patiently for Series 4- 2016 to come out at Christmas....then it wraps up in 2017, again in December. What a great investment this was, loved reading the stories also, very informative. In case anyone is wondering.....my Logitech wireless keyboard no longer supplies capital H's.....lol, once in a blue moon it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Oh, and forgot to add, the 2015 edition has a very cool box to store your collection....really, really recommend this collection, just a wonderful additon to anyone who loves hockey history. I reallly struggled whether to open the pack of 6 hockey cards for the great goalies....but eventually decided I did not buy it for re-sale....and I just had to see the Parent card....and it was awesome.

ScottM Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 That's really cool. If I had the money, I'd go for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally just saved 20 bucks every month or so...put it aside, and purchased them one at a time. It was worth the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
