- I was very excited to say the least to see the NHL debut of Antoine Bibeau of the Maple Leafs this week. Why you ask? His mask pays homage to Felix the Cat. To me, it was incredible, I loved seeing it.
- Detective work. The arm of the Leafs player in front of Felix in the shot here is #23, Todd Gill. Doesn't really get easier than that for me.
- Potvin was a 2nd round pick of the Leafs in the 1990 draft. There were two goalies drafted ahead of him. Trevor Kidd and Martin Brodeur. There's also one player from the 1990 draft still playing in the NHL. Jaromir Jagr.

- I remember buying a jumbo box of Premier many years ago. I think the gold parallels came 2 or 3 in a pack in the jumbos, and I was happy to pull this Sakic. I'm sure I have a ton of gold parallels from this set somewhere.
- Checking out COMC for this particular card, there are 7 on the site currently, ranging in price from 97 cents to $2.75. Beckett lists the card at 40 cents with a 6x multiplier, so the range on COMC is definitely reasonable.
- I still need the cousin of this card, the OPC Premier gold parallel. I haven't picked up any cards for any parts of my collection for the past few weeks. Maybe on my next COMC order I'll grab the OPC version and get that out of the way.

- A little mini marathon of Sakic posts today. Have 3 cards that are all similar on the front, but differ slightly.
- I noted this on the main blog before, but it's interesting to see Michal Pivonka appear on a couple of other Joe Sakic cards as well.
- Game #58 for Joe was an 8-2 pasting of the Buffalo Sabres. Joe recorded just one assist despite the Nords having 7 different goal scorers that night (Peter Stastny potted 2).
