Cain and Able, Zeus and Hades, Charlie and Emilio...

Famous brothers. Best friends. Family. They do things for each other. Rely on each other. Support each other.
Ryan from Trader Cracks, who only lives about an hour and a half away from me, making him practically my next door neighbour, and by Canadian standards, brothers, volunteered to send me a few '09/10 UD Hockey cards I needed for my Series 1 set.
I should have felt my Spidey senses tingling.... but we're brothers!
always nice to be able to fill in an empty slot or two....

Odd... Jaha is one of Ryan's favourite players. When I came across an autographed version of this card awhile ago, I sent it off to him. Brothers do that type of thing.

oh no.

Et tu, brute?

The ice dagger plunges deep into my back. Never saw it coming. Down goes Frasier! Down Goes Frasier!

But it wasn't enough. Oh no. While I'm down... the coup de grace....

my eyes! MY EYES!!!

Ryan and his family are currently Bipping Mickey Mouse in his own house, but when he gets back.... he might want to ignore the flaming paper bag on the porch....

Shout out to Trader Crack's...

Ryan from Trader Crack's sent over around 65 or so '08/09 OPC Hockey cards I needed for my set. Including a few retros too....
these pictures are not the ones Ryan sent.... I got so excited when I got them that I updated Zistle and put them in my binder right away before scanning them.

so enjoy these generic scans for now.

(what? I'm getting better.... I used to just put them in my binder. Now I stop, and put them in Zistle first. Baby steps.....)

Thanks Ryan!!!

Presents from the North...

My buddy Ryan from Trader Crack's shot em an email awhile back to tell me he had pulled a Brave hit and if I wanted it....
Awwwwyeeaahhhh!
Kelly Johnson Black bordered parallel auto. Sweeeet!
and look! It gets better... an Adam LaRoche exclusive insert from Wally world or something.

The world is a better place when I get Adam LaRoche cards....

Thanks Ryan!
