2/14 Hockey

My 2/14 to-be-posted box has grown greatly thanks to a couple COMC shipments, and a sportlots shipment arriving. It is time to start emptying it and to start it, here's the hockey content.

I'm starting off with the non-NHL portion, and the only AHL entry. We're back to 2003 for this Norm Milley, but I'm more amused with the reminder that Anaheim once had their top affiliate located in nearby Cincinnati.

Josh Pillar might be the only person in the collection where I think "At least there's no auto attached" when I acquire one of his cards. Still, I have three "autos" of his in the collection.

I should have doubled up on my Louis-Francois Belanger content when I did my recent "new faces" post, but I have an excuse. It wasn't because it is a shared card - I just was careless and forgot about this one.

This printing plate ends the CHL stuff. This Cyan appearance of Cameron from 21-22 marked his return to the product for the first time since his rookie season, and joins an Exclusives as my second numbered card of his. I remedied my lack of stuff outside of that rookie year by adding a second 21-22 plate to my COMC inventory.

The NHL portion starts with a card I thought I'd already added to the collection. I probably had one, then sent it off to Dennis @ TMV thinking it was a collection dupe.

Your standard shiny insert. You'll see this set again when I do my Kitchener Rangers update.

I really need to go on a Lane Hutson spree at some point. It is odd for my collection that I only have 6 cards of his so far.

As is usual for a hockey 2/14 post, here's a pile of Nikolaj Ehlers entries. But, in a rarity for one of these posts that include a lot of his cards, only the two vertical ones on the bottom are "cheap because of e-pack at COMC" entries. The horizontal one is an insert from Tim Hortons, and the top 6 are from sportlots. 

But as of now at TCDB, he still doesn't have any Carolina Hurricanes cards. Will I have to wait until Extended?

There you have it!
