Cards of the Week: Action Cards and Signatures

This week we look at a few of the favorite cards from Jim's collection which include Eric Staal, Tuomo Ruutu, Brandon Sutter, Erik Cole, Rod Brind`Amour, and Ron Francis.  Jim likes "action" cards and has included some of those to share with us.

Right after the jump, check out Jim's cards along with his notes.

Cards of the Week: Rod Brind'Amour and Zach Boychuk Rookies

We were sent quite a few cards to share with readers, so this feature will now be published more than just one time per week.   I changed the name appropriately to "cards" of the week. 

Next up are two cards sent in by "Kevin", one old and one new.  I like them because they kind of symbolize the changing of the guard with the Hurricanes.  The first Kevin says is an Upper Deck rookie card of Rod Brind`Amour.  The veteran was nice enough to sign this for him after a game.

Card of the Week: Staal, Cole, and Sutter

To help us get through the summer, I thought it might be interesting to start a new feature called "Card of the Week".  (Although we might actually do this more than once per week).  I came across this card on Ebay the other night and had a good chuckle.  The card is included in the latest and greatest from the 2009-10 edition of Be A Player cards, and they are selling at a pretty good pace right now.  

But their quality control might need some improvement.

If you have a unique card or an old one you think people would be interested in seeing, send me a photo at canescountry@gmail.com.  If it gets posted, you will be in the running for a prize that we will give out at the end of the summer for the best additions. (a t-shirt or a puck).  Good luck!
