Funny story with a sweet ending!

Funny story with a sweet ending!
So im not sure if many of you know but im stationed here in cfb petawawa, not working a great deal due to a shoulder injury that occured on my last tour... during my recoup time i was high on pain killers and decided to start collecting hockey cards again. fast forward
through a couple months and the learning curve of the hobby changes
and ebay disasters and triumphs. i found myself without a lcs within reach so ive been forced to buy online exclusively or walmart "yuck"!
.
so im out doing groceries today and spot a comic store thinking hmm maybe.....walk in a say any hockey cards around or just comics to a six foot 300 pnd raggae listening fella. he tosses me a half full hobby box of 2010-11 upper deck and says these have been here forever.
i offer him $25,as i wipe the inch of dust off the first pack "he wasnt kidding". he agree's to the price and i ended up pulling this sweet card......

i was'nt expecting to find this grocery shopping today!
.
as for my pc project, im just looking for a nice photo of both tavares and stamkos for a back drop then these cards will be matted and framed.

Gorgeous stuff! Suitable for framing without a doubt. And great luck picking up that Skinner Exclusives. I never find anything when out grocery shopping except over-priced energy drinks (my 2nd addiction after cards) and an adolescent cashier with an attitude problem.
Congrats!
