Speaker 1 (00:27):
Welcome the Flames Unfiltered posted by Robert Hyle Lewis. It
is time for a special edition of Flames Unfiltered. In
this episode, it's gonna be a little different. We're going
to talk Calgary Flames hockey collectibles, what we like to collect,
some of the cool stuff we've found over the years,
and maybe some what we wish we had enough money
(00:48):
to collect.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
It's a long list. It is a long list. Hmm.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Well, yeah, considering how much inventory there's paying the two
of us, where do we even begin with a topic
like this?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
You know, I think we probably have our big one,
yours being game used jerseys, which is quite a bit
cooler than mine. I've since I don't know what year
I started doing it, tried to collect everythir and Flurry
(01:27):
hockey card out there.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Do you know how many there is? Oh? Probably a thousand,
that's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
That's what I thought. There's actually two thousand and six
hundred and thirty four cards of there and Flurry out there.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Wow, it's funny.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I'm looking at one on my wall in a frame
with a bunch of other great Flames, and it actually
lists them on that card as a center, which I
find so strange, really very odd.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I did it just well when I was a kid,
you know, I mean, jeez, you got to remember the
time frame that I started watching Flames hockey like he
was the deal, right, So started collecting some of his cards,
and one thing grew to another, And then once I
got into adult life and actually had some money, I
started kind of doing a little bit more organized. I'm
over a thousand, I'm not even I'm about halfway to
(02:19):
all of them. I will never have all of them
because some of them sell for They're one of ones
that itself for like eight nine thousand.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Dollars a card.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I may do that in retirement, not now.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
I miss I miss collecting cards like a kid, like
we did when we were kids. You probably never got
to experience it, just because it was already insane when
you were a kid, but now it's even more insane.
But when I was a kid, I'd go to the
Valley Dairy, which is like a convenience store back in
(02:54):
the day, and it was twenty five cents a pack,
and you got fifteen cards, and I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
You're just for happy of what you got.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Rights so crazy to think about now, especially when to
see it like what the young guns go for, like
rookie cards on eBay and that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
But I have some cool cards, like I remember, I
have like three rayb Orc rookies. I have because that
was right in the era where I was really really
collected a ton. I have some really cool old cards
and uh, I guess somewhat old cards and I don't know,
Like then it went into collected in Flames cards because
(03:30):
that was my favorite team. So you know, you get
those cards and one thing leads to another. And then
when packs started getting expensive, I quit buying packs.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Now I don't.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I don't buy packs at all unless I'm with my
little girl who likes to collect cards, so I'll buy
her packs. But now it's mostly I search out the
card I'm the cards I need, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
At one point is trying to collect a card for
every Flames player and that's a little difficult. I've probably
got there's a lot. Yeah, I probably got three hundred,
I would say, yeah, yeah, But I kind of gave
up on that task because it was just it would
be never ending.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Right, It'd be never ending, but it would be you
could probably do it a hell of a lot cheaper
than I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
It, though it depends.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I mean some of that stuff like you could be
expensive to ship too if you don't want to get
all bent, right, So probably the coolest card I might
have have to go through them the game. But like
I have a Matthew Chuck Young Gun's card, which is
fairly valuable now and will certainly be more so in
the future. But yeah, I mean on the card side,
that's I'd have to go through the modesty. I've got
quite a few, but as you know, most of my
(04:36):
cool collectibles are in my my jerseys.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Well let's go into that.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
So you you you got me a game Game War
on jersey and like, I just I remember when I
first met you, like and you said you collect game used.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Jerseys, and I was like, oh boy, this is.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
This is something that with Kyle and I being friends,
I need to steer clear of this addiction because I'm
afraid it would it would overtake me because I'm compulsive
about when I buy something. I want to have everything.
So fill me in, Like, tell me what was your
first jersey?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
The first game WARNING had was Jeff Cowen's rookie Home
jersey one of one. Yeah, it's it's Beats of Health,
It's got bloodstains on it and rips everything else. And
years later, I e three years ago, I met him
when he was head coach of the Saint John's Dugs
and he signed the jersey for me. So that's pretty cool.
But that was that was the first. That's where the
(05:32):
habit really started. I got it really cheap, I don't know, one
hundred and fifty bucks on eBay orthing like that. Yeah,
you know you'd pay that for a decent replica of
these days.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Absolutely, So where do you Where do you find most
of your jerseys?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
A lot of them on eBay, a lot of them
in the trader groups like on Facebook, Marketplace and places
like that. It just mean there's a lot of groups
dedicated to that, so eBay initially, but and a lot
of times people will list some money. Baby, you can
buy them a little bit cheaper through the groups. EMA's
just kind of like a backup plan for everybody. But yeah,
I mean you can find them pretty well anywhere now,
(06:07):
and of course you can buy them from the from
the Flames as well when they have the jersey sale
every year.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Let's talk about that this week. I believe we'll be
releasing this and this Saturday, June fourteenth is the equipment sale.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Which is actually separate from the Jersey sale.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
It is the equipment sale is separate now they used
to be the same though, right.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I'm not sure. To be honest, I've never been to
the actual sale and I've got stuff from it. Yeah,
my pants, my socks, one of my helmets. All that
stuff came from the Flames scripting sale. And it's pretty
cheap too, actually it is.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
It's crazy how reasonable you can get stuff at that
at that sale. So that's also so if you're in Calgary,
check that out. But back to the game, war and stuff.
So one thing led to another and you just started
acquiring what's your what's your total at.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Now twenty twenty one. Somewhere in there two Denny Gautier's
from O two oh three and O three oh four,
I know five O six, Chuck Kobasu with a twenty
fifth anniversary patch. Vestasca is only retro Flames Jersey, Cory
Serich white flags, Robert Gear white flags, which I think
(07:20):
was the last one he wore as a flame. Mike
Camillary's only home playoff jersey, which is really cool. Dave Lowry,
Blasty and Trevor Lewis have got seven of his jerseys,
five of them, four of them are Flames. I guess
I'm still trying to acquire his Blasty one, but the
guy doesn't want to part with it, so I'm definitely
forgetting a few. Oh, Matthew Lombardi's playoff jersey twos and four.
(07:44):
That thing is beat the hell. That's a really cool one.
Actually bought that from a buddy here in town, and
that's one I'll likely never part with.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Wow, that's a that's a rare one.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah, and the thing was game more on jerseys too.
The more where they have, the more they're they're worth.
On the non game war in side, I've got too
signed Goodrow jerseys. One was a gift from John's uncle Jim,
and then the other one I found it online like
three years ago. And then now since the Hockey Heroes,
we can actually have a signed Jerodonald jersey. This is
(08:15):
twenty nineteen Norris trophy Winter on it and took a
picture with him with the jersey. And that's a pretty
cool collectible that's going to wind up in a frame
as well.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I do have a few autograph jerseys. I got a
Monaghan jersey. I've got two Thairn Flurry jerseys that I
got in person.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
In nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Oh wow, those are I got a Home and Away
and that was really cool to get. I've got a
Robin or a Gear autograph jersey. I feel like I'm
missing one, but those are the ones that let's put it.
Those are the ones on my wall behind me. Yeah,
those are fun, fun to display.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, jersey's pretty. It's pretty cool. Like I said,
it's very addictive habit. I'm in the process of something
to downsize my collection a bit because I just have
way too many. So those be some of those be
listed more so for sale than trade, but trades are
always cool too. In the game warning community, you never
know what somebody is looking for, and sometimes it gives
me able to some obscure player as well.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
So what's what's your one that you.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
What I mean, what's your what's your what's your mangers
that you'd love to have? Like, what's your crown jewel?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Probably a drome Agamla game war and I a few
years ago, I actually saw the one that he scored
his fiftieth goal in against Chicago that plasty from oh
one oh two. It was on This is quite a
fewyears ago. I was on eBay. He was still active
at the time. It was like twenty five hundred bucks
and that same jersey now is worth well over ten grands.
So yeah, that would have been cool, but I didn't
have the cash at the time.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Seems like that is solid works, Uh.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Yeah, yeah yeah. What about you like what player? What? Uh?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
What era?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Like?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
What what would be a game war? And you'd want to.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Have, you know, I mean, you know, anything from the
eighty nine Cup run, whether it be a Flurry or
a Roberts or a mckinnis. I always really liked Al mckinnis.
I'd love to have that. And I know me and
you have mentioned it many times. I from the old
(10:18):
four era. I'd love to have a Donovan jersey. I
really liked him, you know, but pretty much. I mean
that lowry one you got's pretty special. That would be
that would be a cool one. Just anything from those
key eras that we really you know, one thing I
(10:38):
guess I'd really love was it. It would be anything
you could kip us off. I watched these guys and
I can't believe I haven't ventured into this yet either,
but the guys that collect game war and goalie masks.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
And uh oh yeah, that's an expensive expensive.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I mean some of the stuff that's out there is
just amazing and I can't imagine having a display of
those in your house. That would be something cool. But
uh yeah, any anything anything in that flurry kippers off
again la rigear Al mckinness. So those are the those
are the those would be the key items for me.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah, yeah, I can see that. Actually, it was a
Dave Lowry Game War and available not too long ago.
Was a white captain's jersey from that would have been
one O two because he was stripped of the captaincy
in the beginning of three. It went for big money too.
I think it was in Germany. I think it was
a Southern Germany. It had it, and it was it
(11:38):
was pretty tempting. But yeah, that was a captain's jersey.
Is is a is a pretty cool fine. I do
have a Michael Backland game one with the one hundred
NHL patch on it. Yeah, and I got that for
like four hund bucks at the time.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
That's a pretty special one though, that one, that's when
you're gonna.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Have to Oh, he could wind up being the all
times leader in games played too, right, So that's.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Very very well and we'll probably will believe be. I
don't know, I mean, that's probably an argument for another show,
but I mean, I mean his number would maybe be
discussed as a retired number two, you know, I don't.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Know, possibly, I mean, the the offensive numbers just starting there.
But I mean, when you consider Chris Neil's number get retired,
not anything is.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
No, we don't want to go down that road. You
who do not want to go on that road. One
thing game game news that I've got over the years,
and I and I didn't get him because I was
collecting them. I got him because of accident and and and.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I love him.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
But uh in the early two thousands and I'm still
friends with them today. I was friends with the friends
of the lineman Thorn Nelson in the in the National
Hockey League, and he would you know, it was a
little different back then compared to now with game use pucks.
I know, game news bucks are tracked and registered right
away and sold by the team or whatever. And I
(12:57):
have recently got a couple. I got a Flames Rangers
in a flyers on here, and just because I wanted
some of the trackers in it, you know, I thought
that was cool. But in the early two thousands, he
would bring me pucks all the time, like you know,
they just they would take them like they could they
could take pucks or whatever.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
And yeah, he was so cool in our community.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Uh he would go to junior hockey games and he'd
always bring a bag of pox of different ones he
got through that month or whatever, and it had them
out to little kids. But uh, he always knew that
that I liked the Flames on, so he'd stop by
my work and drop a puck off from time to time.
And I remember he got me one from the Stanley
(13:40):
Cup Finals in nine against U Chicago when again had scored,
and that was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, that is really cool.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I've actually I've got a few bucks as well, a
couple of game news pucks, and the probably the coolest
one I have again in the case actually was one
that Johnny gudrou had shot over the glass during warm up.
No it's stray during morning morning practice in the twenty
fifteen playoffs, and my buddy Rob put my flames. Jack
and On pretended to be security to get into the
lower bowl and get the puck for me. So it
was pretty cool too because years later, back in well
(14:12):
in just this past January, I got to show Jim
Goodrow that puck and tell him the story and he
thought it was pretty cool. So yeah, I mean, apart
apart from that, I've got some of I've got two
of Trevor Lewis's helmets. I got a couple of his sticks.
Trying to think what else there's there's so many things,
right like, collective collecting is a really dangerous thing to
(14:33):
do because it can take over your house and take
over your bank account and get pretty out of control.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
You know what, You're still it's it's fun and a
couple I got a couple of game use stuff do
with equipment Wise, I got a.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Pair of flurry skates. That's cool.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I don't remember what year it was, but yeah, it
was back in the early pedestal Jersey days. But I
got his skates.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I've got I don't have a helmet, I need helmets.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
What else? I got sticks? I got a Craig Conroy.
I got a nice room. Oh nice, I'm missing somebody.
I'm missing somebody else on a stick. I got a
couple couple more sticks. I can't think of right now,
but uh yeah, just it's it's fun getting those things too.
I remember when you got your Trevor Lewis helmets. I
thought they were they were really cool.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, they won't fit on my head. His head is
so small or mine is so big. I'm not sure which,
but yeah, blast the helmet and a red Home helmet.
So it's it's pretty cool. Yeah, I feel like there's
stuff that I'm forgetting to, like stuff that either I've
had or still have somewhere. But yeah, it's it's like
I said, it's quite it's quite a hotby to get into.
(15:44):
You know. I think we'd both like to hear too,
what other people have out there that they want to share, Like,
you know on our social media, tell us what you
guys have as well. There's tons and tons of out
there and stuff that you just forget. What are players
you forget about? And it's yeah, it's a it's quite
a habit.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Soul like outside of like the collectible items or the
other things that we collect. One of the things in
Calgary Flames that I have an excessive amount of his hats.
I I have so many Flames hats it's it's not
even funny. But I want to tell a story about
(16:19):
about one of them. And I'm you maybe got one too,
But you know four, when we were in that run,
you know, getting anything from that run was just fun.
And I and I remember after we beat San Jose
in the in the conference finals, I remember immediately immediately
hopping on the computer and ordering the Conference finals hat
(16:41):
and uh. And you know, there's all kinds of pictures
with Againla wearing that hat on the ice, and you
know you still see them today with with players wearing
that hat. And I have that hat, and I remember,
you know, it was just one of those and you
know how some hats fitter than others. That one didn't
fit me with very good at all, so I hardly
(17:03):
ever wore it. So it's it's been sitting in my
house ever since four. But that's funny how many flames
hats have come and gone and sweatshirts have.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Come and gone. But yeah, it's uh, a lot of
those two.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
You know, there's all kinds of things that not just
in the in the you know, the game used or
the sports cards, or there's all kinds of other things
that people people collect. And I got a buddy of
mine who collects penance like old remember the old like
triangle penance that you used to buy when you were
a little kid. And I don't even can you even
get him anymore? I never see him anymore.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I had some years ago when I'm not sure muchill
around or not.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
He collects those, and he's a big Montreal Canadians fan,
so he's got a boatload of Canadians. But he has
a lot of flames on too, And I was over
at his place one time and he showed me about
fifteen or twenty different flames ones he has. But he
goes he collects everything hockey and penance, and he's got
Kansas City Scouts ones and Cleveland Barren ones and old
(18:03):
Nardique ones, and it's it's crazy how how many of
those are out there if you go search too, and
pretty much, I mean, anything's anything's collectible, right.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Yeah, yeah, for sure. And actually I don't think a hats,
but I've got well a few hats anyway. The coolest
one I have was a blasting one that I bought
it the saddle Home last year that you can only
buy at the saddle Home. That's by far my favorite.
I'm actually a little afraid to wear it because I
don't want to wear it out. But it's got like
the big embossed blasting and black and then the smaller
logo and it's a really cool hat. And I've got
probably three or four others, I would say, but the
(18:34):
pennantce I forgot about those. Yeah, it's funny to bring
that up because I haven't seen one in quite a
few years now.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I know I haven't either, And I remember like when
I was a little kid, and I know this is
aging me in making me sound way old, but I
mean that was like you when you went to a
sporting event, you got a program and you got a pennant.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah, and now.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Like you can't even get a damn program anymore.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
That's another thing.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
That I have a lot of. Oh yeah, I forgot
about that collection. Mn. I used to always when I'd
go and go to any sporting event, I would get
to grab a a program.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Do you remember Blaze magazine for.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
The floor Yeah, yeah, you still see them the foot
round for sale every now and again.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I've got it.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I've got a pile of them. I've got a pile
of them. I remember one I got Valerie.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Is on the cover.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
He was great. Oh, I've got my my ticket stub
from Drummagummo's retirement night against the Wild. So that's in
a frame along with the T shirts they gave out
that night and an autograph photo. I have a droll
and I gotta do the same thing with my kippersoft
one actually, but the kippersoft one, I don't have a
ticket stub because I don't do ticket stubs anymore. Unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Does that not piss you off?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Because that really pisses me off, because I've got a
I when I first started going damn jug games I collect.
I collected every ticket stub that I had, and now they.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Don't have them anymore.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
So the last however many games I want to that
there is no stub. It just irritates me. It irritates me.
It irritates me for concerts that I don't get a
stub anymore.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Yeah, I was just thinking that I had a bunch
of like Motley Crue concerts and stuff like that and
all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, it was fun, right, And now technology has screwed
that over. So so what is let's before we go here,
let's talk about what is our What is your favorite
item that you have in your collection of flam stuff?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Hmm, that's really tough. Uh, probably my Trevor Lewis reverse
retro pedestal a game warn because it is a truly
one of one. There was no others made, he never
wore any others. Cost me far more than it should have,
but that's the way the game goes sometimes. Right, That's
a really really cool one because obviously we share last name,
(20:42):
and up there with that would be that Lombardi jersey
it mentioned. Just to have a piece of that cup
run is is just so so cool. And you often
wonder if any of those guys ever wonder where you
know where the jersey's wound up, who has them or
that kind of.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Thing, Right, I know I thought of that a lot
of times, is you know, as a fan, like if
I was a player, you know, we always have that.
As a player, I'd want a lot on my game.
I'd want some of the special game war in jerseys
And I wonder do players search them out? Do they
find them?
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Mike McKenna does, He's got he was trying to because
he played with a lot of teams. He's been trying
to get one of his jerseys from each TV he
played for, and I think he's still missing a few,
but there's been a lot of people on social media
trying to help him out and track those jerseys down
over the years.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Yeah, and you can think about it too.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Remember the cards he released where they had like the
little patch or little piece of jersey.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
I have a whole lot of I just got one
with Doug Gilmour and Theren Flurry part of each of
their jerseys.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Can you believe they destroyed jerseys to do that? That
terrible you think about it.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
I've always wondered did they actually are they really jerseys?
I mean, do we know that?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I mean, that's not going down that road.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I guess, you know. I always look at those in
them all.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I was like, hmm, I wonder, Yeah, best not to
think about it, like so many other things in life.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Oh, here's another thing before we go we can talk about,
and I'll give you my favorite. Have you seen there's
a company called Second String. I believe it's called let
me pull it up here as we talk.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
They do.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Unbelievable stuff with yeah, second String, Second String Leather company.
They buy like old goalie pads and then they make
them into like wallets and it's unreal.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
It's absolutely unreal.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I saw they had a set of old Mike Vernon
pads that they had made into wallets and golf head
covers and things like that, and they go for big dollars.
But uh, really cool, really cool there too. So there's
all kinds of things out there. Probably my favorites, probably
my Flames jerseys. I got signed by Flurry and I
(22:50):
believe it was ninety six, the last year of the Jets.
That was ninety six up in Winnipeg. I got a
home and away signed by him in the hotel lobby
and it was a fun experience and one thing when
you know, I'll always have in my collections.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
So, yeah, that's awesome, all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Yeah, well you kind of got me faking there too.
And you mentioned goldie pads. I actually just pulled this
card out, So Mike Vernon from his second running Calgary.
For whatever reason, I love those pads. I remember the
black yellow. Yeah, like the black yellow and the red.
And people tell me too that the sea the crest
on that jersey. It's the same size as its always been,
but it looks so much bigger on that white canvas.
(23:32):
That was one of my favorites.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Now I'm looking like romantic gear and rich Taberacci and
that's cool.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
You remember Trevor Or not Trevor.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Do you remember Trevor kids leg pads? I just I
will never forget those. They were like red with the
flames going up them, and but it was like, I
don't know, he had to hit some really yeah, there
you go those ones.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Yeah, he had some really cool equipmental he was. It's
really decked out, really cool.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
This is why with the Dragon home, this is why
it pays to watch us on YouTube because you can
see cool stuff sometimes. Yeah, other than ugly.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Mugs, right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Once in all week, once in a while we have
some something cool to show.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Man.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Goalie gear is just the coolest. I wish it wasn't
so expensive. I know.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Could you imagine if you could like collect gold, like
would how cool would it be to have a goalie
mass from from all the Flames goalies over the years?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
How wow?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Show I saw a video of Curtis Joseph showing off
his goalie mass, including his flames, when I'm like, oh,
I want that, but I could never ever afford that,
nor do I want to afford it necessarily.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
No. Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
There's all kinds of things to collect and uh part
of being a fan.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Right, Yeah, it's just you know, it's like any addiction,
you get to try and manage it.
Speaker 2 (24:49):

Speaker 4 (25:56):
Flames Hockey Talk every week, presented by Inside Edge Hockey
media group,
Welcome the Flames Unfiltered posted by Robert Hyle Lewis. It
is time for a special edition of Flames Unfiltered. In
this episode, it's gonna be a little different. We're going
to talk Calgary Flames hockey collectibles, what we like to collect,
some of the cool stuff we've found over the years,
and maybe some what we wish we had enough money
(00:48):
to collect.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
It's a long list. It is a long list. Hmm.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Well, yeah, considering how much inventory there's paying the two
of us, where do we even begin with a topic
like this?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
You know, I think we probably have our big one,
yours being game used jerseys, which is quite a bit
cooler than mine. I've since I don't know what year
I started doing it, tried to collect everythir and Flurry
(01:27):
hockey card out there.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Do you know how many there is? Oh? Probably a thousand,
that's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
That's what I thought. There's actually two thousand and six
hundred and thirty four cards of there and Flurry out there.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Wow, it's funny.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I'm looking at one on my wall in a frame
with a bunch of other great Flames, and it actually
lists them on that card as a center, which I
find so strange, really very odd.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I did it just well when I was a kid,
you know, I mean, jeez, you got to remember the
time frame that I started watching Flames hockey like he
was the deal, right, So started collecting some of his cards,
and one thing grew to another, And then once I
got into adult life and actually had some money, I
started kind of doing a little bit more organized. I'm
over a thousand, I'm not even I'm about halfway to
(02:19):
all of them. I will never have all of them
because some of them sell for They're one of ones
that itself for like eight nine thousand.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Dollars a card.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I may do that in retirement, not now.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
I miss I miss collecting cards like a kid, like
we did when we were kids. You probably never got
to experience it, just because it was already insane when
you were a kid, but now it's even more insane.
But when I was a kid, I'd go to the
Valley Dairy, which is like a convenience store back in
(02:54):
the day, and it was twenty five cents a pack,
and you got fifteen cards, and I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
You're just for happy of what you got.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Rights so crazy to think about now, especially when to
see it like what the young guns go for, like
rookie cards on eBay and that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
But I have some cool cards, like I remember, I
have like three rayb Orc rookies. I have because that
was right in the era where I was really really
collected a ton. I have some really cool old cards
and uh, I guess somewhat old cards and I don't know,
Like then it went into collected in Flames cards because
(03:30):
that was my favorite team. So you know, you get
those cards and one thing leads to another. And then
when packs started getting expensive, I quit buying packs.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Now I don't.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I don't buy packs at all unless I'm with my
little girl who likes to collect cards, so I'll buy
her packs. But now it's mostly I search out the
card I'm the cards I need, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
At one point is trying to collect a card for
every Flames player and that's a little difficult. I've probably
got there's a lot. Yeah, I probably got three hundred,
I would say, yeah, yeah, But I kind of gave
up on that task because it was just it would
be never ending.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Right, It'd be never ending, but it would be you
could probably do it a hell of a lot cheaper
than I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
It, though it depends.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I mean some of that stuff like you could be
expensive to ship too if you don't want to get
all bent, right, So probably the coolest card I might
have have to go through them the game. But like
I have a Matthew Chuck Young Gun's card, which is
fairly valuable now and will certainly be more so in
the future. But yeah, I mean on the card side,
that's I'd have to go through the modesty. I've got
quite a few, but as you know, most of my
(04:36):
cool collectibles are in my my jerseys.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Well let's go into that.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
So you you you got me a game Game War
on jersey and like, I just I remember when I
first met you, like and you said you collect game used.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Jerseys, and I was like, oh boy, this is.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
This is something that with Kyle and I being friends,
I need to steer clear of this addiction because I'm
afraid it would it would overtake me because I'm compulsive
about when I buy something. I want to have everything.
So fill me in, Like, tell me what was your
first jersey?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
The first game WARNING had was Jeff Cowen's rookie Home
jersey one of one. Yeah, it's it's Beats of Health,
It's got bloodstains on it and rips everything else. And
years later, I e three years ago, I met him
when he was head coach of the Saint John's Dugs
and he signed the jersey for me. So that's pretty cool.
But that was that was the first. That's where the
(05:32):
habit really started. I got it really cheap, I don't know, one
hundred and fifty bucks on eBay orthing like that. Yeah,
you know you'd pay that for a decent replica of
these days.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Absolutely, So where do you Where do you find most
of your jerseys?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
A lot of them on eBay, a lot of them
in the trader groups like on Facebook, Marketplace and places
like that. It just mean there's a lot of groups
dedicated to that, so eBay initially, but and a lot
of times people will list some money. Baby, you can
buy them a little bit cheaper through the groups. EMA's
just kind of like a backup plan for everybody. But yeah,
I mean you can find them pretty well anywhere now,
(06:07):
and of course you can buy them from the from
the Flames as well when they have the jersey sale
every year.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Let's talk about that this week. I believe we'll be
releasing this and this Saturday, June fourteenth is the equipment sale.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Which is actually separate from the Jersey sale.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
It is the equipment sale is separate now they used
to be the same though, right.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I'm not sure. To be honest, I've never been to
the actual sale and I've got stuff from it. Yeah,
my pants, my socks, one of my helmets. All that
stuff came from the Flames scripting sale. And it's pretty
cheap too, actually it is.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
It's crazy how reasonable you can get stuff at that
at that sale. So that's also so if you're in Calgary,
check that out. But back to the game, war and stuff.
So one thing led to another and you just started
acquiring what's your what's your total at.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Now twenty twenty one. Somewhere in there two Denny Gautier's
from O two oh three and O three oh four,
I know five O six, Chuck Kobasu with a twenty
fifth anniversary patch. Vestasca is only retro Flames Jersey, Cory
Serich white flags, Robert Gear white flags, which I think
(07:20):
was the last one he wore as a flame. Mike
Camillary's only home playoff jersey, which is really cool. Dave Lowry,
Blasty and Trevor Lewis have got seven of his jerseys,
five of them, four of them are Flames. I guess
I'm still trying to acquire his Blasty one, but the
guy doesn't want to part with it, so I'm definitely
forgetting a few. Oh, Matthew Lombardi's playoff jersey twos and four.
(07:44):
That thing is beat the hell. That's a really cool one.
Actually bought that from a buddy here in town, and
that's one I'll likely never part with.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Wow, that's a that's a rare one.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah, and the thing was game more on jerseys too.
The more where they have, the more they're they're worth.
On the non game war in side, I've got too
signed Goodrow jerseys. One was a gift from John's uncle Jim,
and then the other one I found it online like
three years ago. And then now since the Hockey Heroes,
we can actually have a signed Jerodonald jersey. This is
(08:15):
twenty nineteen Norris trophy Winter on it and took a
picture with him with the jersey. And that's a pretty
cool collectible that's going to wind up in a frame
as well.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I do have a few autograph jerseys. I got a
Monaghan jersey. I've got two Thairn Flurry jerseys that I
got in person.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
In nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Oh wow, those are I got a Home and Away
and that was really cool to get. I've got a
Robin or a Gear autograph jersey. I feel like I'm
missing one, but those are the ones that let's put it.
Those are the ones on my wall behind me. Yeah,
those are fun, fun to display.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, jersey's pretty. It's pretty cool. Like I said,
it's very addictive habit. I'm in the process of something
to downsize my collection a bit because I just have
way too many. So those be some of those be
listed more so for sale than trade, but trades are
always cool too. In the game warning community, you never
know what somebody is looking for, and sometimes it gives
me able to some obscure player as well.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
So what's what's your one that you.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
What I mean, what's your what's your what's your mangers
that you'd love to have? Like, what's your crown jewel?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Probably a drome Agamla game war and I a few
years ago, I actually saw the one that he scored
his fiftieth goal in against Chicago that plasty from oh
one oh two. It was on This is quite a
fewyears ago. I was on eBay. He was still active
at the time. It was like twenty five hundred bucks
and that same jersey now is worth well over ten grands.
So yeah, that would have been cool, but I didn't
have the cash at the time.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Seems like that is solid works, Uh.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Yeah, yeah yeah. What about you like what player? What? Uh?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
What era?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Like?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
What what would be a game war? And you'd want to.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Have, you know, I mean, you know, anything from the
eighty nine Cup run, whether it be a Flurry or
a Roberts or a mckinnis. I always really liked Al mckinnis.
I'd love to have that. And I know me and
you have mentioned it many times. I from the old
(10:18):
four era. I'd love to have a Donovan jersey. I
really liked him, you know, but pretty much. I mean
that lowry one you got's pretty special. That would be
that would be a cool one. Just anything from those
key eras that we really you know, one thing I
(10:38):
guess I'd really love was it. It would be anything
you could kip us off. I watched these guys and
I can't believe I haven't ventured into this yet either,
but the guys that collect game war and goalie masks.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
And uh oh yeah, that's an expensive expensive.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I mean some of the stuff that's out there is
just amazing and I can't imagine having a display of
those in your house. That would be something cool. But
uh yeah, any anything anything in that flurry kippers off
again la rigear Al mckinness. So those are the those
are the those would be the key items for me.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah, yeah, I can see that. Actually, it was a
Dave Lowry Game War and available not too long ago.
Was a white captain's jersey from that would have been
one O two because he was stripped of the captaincy
in the beginning of three. It went for big money too.
I think it was in Germany. I think it was
a Southern Germany. It had it, and it was it
(11:38):
was pretty tempting. But yeah, that was a captain's jersey.
Is is a is a pretty cool fine. I do
have a Michael Backland game one with the one hundred
NHL patch on it. Yeah, and I got that for
like four hund bucks at the time.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
That's a pretty special one though, that one, that's when
you're gonna.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Have to Oh, he could wind up being the all
times leader in games played too, right, So that's.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Very very well and we'll probably will believe be. I
don't know, I mean, that's probably an argument for another show,
but I mean, I mean his number would maybe be
discussed as a retired number two, you know, I don't.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Know, possibly, I mean, the the offensive numbers just starting there.
But I mean, when you consider Chris Neil's number get retired,
not anything is.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
No, we don't want to go down that road. You
who do not want to go on that road. One
thing game game news that I've got over the years,
and I and I didn't get him because I was
collecting them. I got him because of accident and and and.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I love him.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
But uh in the early two thousands and I'm still
friends with them today. I was friends with the friends
of the lineman Thorn Nelson in the in the National
Hockey League, and he would you know, it was a
little different back then compared to now with game use pucks.
I know, game news bucks are tracked and registered right
away and sold by the team or whatever. And I
(12:57):
have recently got a couple. I got a Flames Rangers
in a flyers on here, and just because I wanted
some of the trackers in it, you know, I thought
that was cool. But in the early two thousands, he
would bring me pucks all the time, like you know,
they just they would take them like they could they
could take pucks or whatever.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
And yeah, he was so cool in our community.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Uh he would go to junior hockey games and he'd
always bring a bag of pox of different ones he
got through that month or whatever, and it had them
out to little kids. But uh, he always knew that
that I liked the Flames on, so he'd stop by
my work and drop a puck off from time to time.
And I remember he got me one from the Stanley
(13:40):
Cup Finals in nine against U Chicago when again had scored,
and that was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, that is really cool.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I've actually I've got a few bucks as well, a
couple of game news pucks, and the probably the coolest
one I have again in the case actually was one
that Johnny gudrou had shot over the glass during warm up.
No it's stray during morning morning practice in the twenty
fifteen playoffs, and my buddy Rob put my flames. Jack
and On pretended to be security to get into the
lower bowl and get the puck for me. So it
was pretty cool too because years later, back in well
(14:12):
in just this past January, I got to show Jim
Goodrow that puck and tell him the story and he
thought it was pretty cool. So yeah, I mean, apart
apart from that, I've got some of I've got two
of Trevor Lewis's helmets. I got a couple of his sticks.
Trying to think what else there's there's so many things,
right like, collective collecting is a really dangerous thing to
(14:33):
do because it can take over your house and take
over your bank account and get pretty out of control.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
You know what, You're still it's it's fun and a
couple I got a couple of game use stuff do
with equipment Wise, I got a.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Pair of flurry skates. That's cool.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I don't remember what year it was, but yeah, it
was back in the early pedestal Jersey days. But I
got his skates.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I've got I don't have a helmet, I need helmets.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
What else? I got sticks? I got a Craig Conroy.
I got a nice room. Oh nice, I'm missing somebody.
I'm missing somebody else on a stick. I got a
couple couple more sticks. I can't think of right now,
but uh yeah, just it's it's fun getting those things too.
I remember when you got your Trevor Lewis helmets. I
thought they were they were really cool.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, they won't fit on my head. His head is
so small or mine is so big. I'm not sure which,
but yeah, blast the helmet and a red Home helmet.
So it's it's pretty cool. Yeah, I feel like there's
stuff that I'm forgetting to, like stuff that either I've
had or still have somewhere. But yeah, it's it's like
I said, it's quite it's quite a hotby to get into.
(15:44):
You know. I think we'd both like to hear too,
what other people have out there that they want to share, Like,
you know on our social media, tell us what you
guys have as well. There's tons and tons of out
there and stuff that you just forget. What are players
you forget about? And it's yeah, it's a it's quite
a habit.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Soul like outside of like the collectible items or the
other things that we collect. One of the things in
Calgary Flames that I have an excessive amount of his hats.
I I have so many Flames hats it's it's not
even funny. But I want to tell a story about
(16:19):
about one of them. And I'm you maybe got one too,
But you know four, when we were in that run,
you know, getting anything from that run was just fun.
And I and I remember after we beat San Jose
in the in the conference finals, I remember immediately immediately
hopping on the computer and ordering the Conference finals hat
(16:41):
and uh. And you know, there's all kinds of pictures
with Againla wearing that hat on the ice, and you
know you still see them today with with players wearing
that hat. And I have that hat, and I remember,
you know, it was just one of those and you
know how some hats fitter than others. That one didn't
fit me with very good at all, so I hardly
(17:03):
ever wore it. So it's it's been sitting in my
house ever since four. But that's funny how many flames
hats have come and gone and sweatshirts have.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Come and gone. But yeah, it's uh, a lot of
those two.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
You know, there's all kinds of things that not just
in the in the you know, the game used or
the sports cards, or there's all kinds of other things
that people people collect. And I got a buddy of
mine who collects penance like old remember the old like
triangle penance that you used to buy when you were
a little kid. And I don't even can you even
get him anymore? I never see him anymore.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I had some years ago when I'm not sure muchill
around or not.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
He collects those, and he's a big Montreal Canadians fan,
so he's got a boatload of Canadians. But he has
a lot of flames on too, And I was over
at his place one time and he showed me about
fifteen or twenty different flames ones he has. But he
goes he collects everything hockey and penance, and he's got
Kansas City Scouts ones and Cleveland Barren ones and old
(18:03):
Nardique ones, and it's it's crazy how how many of
those are out there if you go search too, and
pretty much, I mean, anything's anything's collectible, right.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Yeah, yeah, for sure. And actually I don't think a hats,
but I've got well a few hats anyway. The coolest
one I have was a blasting one that I bought
it the saddle Home last year that you can only
buy at the saddle Home. That's by far my favorite.
I'm actually a little afraid to wear it because I
don't want to wear it out. But it's got like
the big embossed blasting and black and then the smaller
logo and it's a really cool hat. And I've got
probably three or four others, I would say, but the
(18:34):
pennantce I forgot about those. Yeah, it's funny to bring
that up because I haven't seen one in quite a
few years now.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I know I haven't either, And I remember like when
I was a little kid, and I know this is
aging me in making me sound way old, but I
mean that was like you when you went to a
sporting event, you got a program and you got a pennant.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah, and now.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Like you can't even get a damn program anymore.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
That's another thing.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
That I have a lot of. Oh yeah, I forgot
about that collection. Mn. I used to always when I'd
go and go to any sporting event, I would get
to grab a a program.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Do you remember Blaze magazine for.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
The floor Yeah, yeah, you still see them the foot
round for sale every now and again.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I've got it.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I've got a pile of them. I've got a pile
of them. I remember one I got Valerie.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Is on the cover.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
He was great. Oh, I've got my my ticket stub
from Drummagummo's retirement night against the Wild. So that's in
a frame along with the T shirts they gave out
that night and an autograph photo. I have a droll
and I gotta do the same thing with my kippersoft
one actually, but the kippersoft one, I don't have a
ticket stub because I don't do ticket stubs anymore. Unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Does that not piss you off?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Because that really pisses me off, because I've got a
I when I first started going damn jug games I collect.
I collected every ticket stub that I had, and now they.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Don't have them anymore.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
So the last however many games I want to that
there is no stub. It just irritates me. It irritates me.
It irritates me for concerts that I don't get a
stub anymore.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Yeah, I was just thinking that I had a bunch
of like Motley Crue concerts and stuff like that and
all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, it was fun, right, And now technology has screwed
that over. So so what is let's before we go here,
let's talk about what is our What is your favorite
item that you have in your collection of flam stuff?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Hmm, that's really tough. Uh, probably my Trevor Lewis reverse
retro pedestal a game warn because it is a truly
one of one. There was no others made, he never
wore any others. Cost me far more than it should have,
but that's the way the game goes sometimes. Right, That's
a really really cool one because obviously we share last name,
(20:42):
and up there with that would be that Lombardi jersey
it mentioned. Just to have a piece of that cup
run is is just so so cool. And you often
wonder if any of those guys ever wonder where you
know where the jersey's wound up, who has them or
that kind of.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Thing, Right, I know I thought of that a lot
of times, is you know, as a fan, like if
I was a player, you know, we always have that.
As a player, I'd want a lot on my game.
I'd want some of the special game war in jerseys
And I wonder do players search them out? Do they
find them?
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Mike McKenna does, He's got he was trying to because
he played with a lot of teams. He's been trying
to get one of his jerseys from each TV he
played for, and I think he's still missing a few,
but there's been a lot of people on social media
trying to help him out and track those jerseys down
over the years.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Yeah, and you can think about it too.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Remember the cards he released where they had like the
little patch or little piece of jersey.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
I have a whole lot of I just got one
with Doug Gilmour and Theren Flurry part of each of
their jerseys.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Can you believe they destroyed jerseys to do that? That
terrible you think about it.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
I've always wondered did they actually are they really jerseys?
I mean, do we know that?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I mean, that's not going down that road.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I guess, you know. I always look at those in
them all.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I was like, hmm, I wonder, Yeah, best not to
think about it, like so many other things in life.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Oh, here's another thing before we go we can talk about,
and I'll give you my favorite. Have you seen there's
a company called Second String. I believe it's called let
me pull it up here as we talk.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
They do.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Unbelievable stuff with yeah, second String, Second String Leather company.
They buy like old goalie pads and then they make
them into like wallets and it's unreal.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
It's absolutely unreal.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I saw they had a set of old Mike Vernon
pads that they had made into wallets and golf head
covers and things like that, and they go for big dollars.
But uh, really cool, really cool there too. So there's
all kinds of things out there. Probably my favorites, probably
my Flames jerseys. I got signed by Flurry and I
(22:50):
believe it was ninety six, the last year of the Jets.
That was ninety six up in Winnipeg. I got a
home and away signed by him in the hotel lobby
and it was a fun experience and one thing when
you know, I'll always have in my collections.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
So, yeah, that's awesome, all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Yeah, well you kind of got me faking there too.
And you mentioned goldie pads. I actually just pulled this
card out, So Mike Vernon from his second running Calgary.
For whatever reason, I love those pads. I remember the
black yellow. Yeah, like the black yellow and the red.
And people tell me too that the sea the crest
on that jersey. It's the same size as its always been,
but it looks so much bigger on that white canvas.
(23:32):
That was one of my favorites.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Now I'm looking like romantic gear and rich Taberacci and
that's cool.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
You remember Trevor Or not Trevor.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Do you remember Trevor kids leg pads? I just I
will never forget those. They were like red with the
flames going up them, and but it was like, I
don't know, he had to hit some really yeah, there
you go those ones.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Yeah, he had some really cool equipmental he was. It's
really decked out, really cool.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
This is why with the Dragon home, this is why
it pays to watch us on YouTube because you can
see cool stuff sometimes. Yeah, other than ugly.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Mugs, right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Once in all week, once in a while we have
some something cool to show.
Speaker 2 (24:13):

Speaker 3 (24:13):
Goalie gear is just the coolest. I wish it wasn't
so expensive. I know.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Could you imagine if you could like collect gold, like
would how cool would it be to have a goalie
mass from from all the Flames goalies over the years?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
How wow?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Show I saw a video of Curtis Joseph showing off
his goalie mass, including his flames, when I'm like, oh,
I want that, but I could never ever afford that,
nor do I want to afford it necessarily.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
No. Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
There's all kinds of things to collect and uh part
of being a fan.
