Time to leave the hobby
Not enough time to do all the things I want to do - too many interests. So, my hockey card collection is going to disappear over the next several months. It's been fun collecting but I know some of the cool stuff I have will find good homes (my complete set of 2010-11 Artifacts rookies went in a hurry). Since this will be my last thread, I wish you all great pulls and acquisitions in the future. Spud

Spud, I wish you luck in the future, and hope that you make the absolute best of your retirement. It's been a pleasure having you here with us on the boards, and trading with you. You'll be missed!

Thats a true shame, its sad to see one of the pillars of the community pack it in. You're one of the most knowledgable and upstanding members here and your contributions are going to leave a big gap for someone to try to fill. Thanks for all your show and tells, and your general good will around the boards, you'll be sorely missed. All the best in all your future endeavours!!
P.S. if you have any Thornton #1's (Artifacts i think you had a couple) and want them to go to a good home i can think of no one better than me

Thank you. Most of my best cards and sets will likely be placed on ebay. My Nugent-Hopkins Ice rookie should be up tomorrow. Spud
