Hello, This page will be a little summary of my collection. I started collecting in 1998 at the age of 13, and my collection has expanded very steadily since then.
What I sell: I am mainly a seller of numbered parallel cards, with the hope that player, team, or set collectors will need them. I also occasionally sell from my collection of Detroit Vipers IHL team-set cards. Feel free to email me if you've got any questions about the Detroit Vipers cards.
What I collect: I've got a few different projects I am working on in my collections, and I'll try to summarize them here, in order of importance.
Player Collections: I collect cards of former Detroit Vipers players. My largest
collection is my Sergei Samsonov collection, which contains over 800 different cards. I also collect cards of a wide variety of other ex-Vipers. Of greatest importance are my Kevin Weekes, Zac Bierk, and Tim Thomas collections. The complete list of players I collect can be found below. I made a website for my player collections, which can be found here. I also have a collection of game-used memorabilia from former Vipers players. These items can be seen at this page.
The Best-RC Collection: This is my theoretical attempt to own the best rookie card of every player. I use "every" in a very loose sense, as obviously it's an unreachable goal. In reality, for my project, I'll go after the best rookie cards of most players from the early 80's through 99-00. Although the project also extends through the 02-03 season, I tapered it off gradually up until that point. For cards after 02-03, the project has been limited to include only Tampa Bay Lightning players and Detroit Vipers alumni. There are a lot of best rookie cards that I, frankly, don't have the means to acquire, which is the basis for the project's gradual discontinuance. Since I have recently revised my wantlists for this project, a number of my wants were scrapped, and the wants that are still left are (mostly) cards that I'm more serious about acquiring. I have also set up websites to track the progress of the Detroit Vipers Best-RCs Project and the Tampa Bay Lightning Best-RCs Project.
The Yearly Binder Project: This is a much more reachable goal - to complete one 9-card display sheet (in binders sorted by years) for every major-issue product to be released from the 79-80 season through the present. I am only looking for common cards, so absolutely anything from the sets I need cards from would be useful to me. For full details, see my Yearly Binder Project webpage.
Sets: I have assembled a number of sets for my collection, and I am pursuing a few more as well. For full details on my sets completed and my set wantlist, see my sets webpage.
Note: Eric Perrin is an exception to the rule; he's the only player I collect who was never on the Detroit Vipers.
