with my fantastic scanning skills in evidence, an upside down Toronto Maple Leafs pin.
In an earlier e-mail correspondence, it was noted I was a hockey fan and something would be sent to cover that.

Thanks again Stealing Home for the contest. I got Satisfaction out of this package.

Young 12/18       Superstar 5/18

Okay Score. You are doing a fairly decent job in picking "young" players. That shouldn't be too hard. On the "Superstar" side of things, you've proven that it's a little tougher. Maybe you'll pick up your game as we continue forward with the next 22 selections. Kind of like the NHL Draft.

As of this writing, Zistle has documented 301 different cards for the veteran.
