August 2018 was a big month for adding new people- I'm beginning the composing stage of this post on August 21st, and I've already got a whopping 69 new people added to my collection during the month- all but 12 of them from the Sports Card Tour contest winnings I got from Chris! Luckily for me, the actual posting process will be pretty easy for me as the vast majority of the cards he sent me were in numerical order within sets. The longest part will be labeling them, I suppose. But before I get to the cards Chris set me, I have the dozen new people who came from the 2018-19 MVP hobby box I had pre-ordered...

I had just read Rich Clune's story in the Player's Tribune less than week before I got this card, detailing his problems with depression. Worth a read. I tried to find a link to put in but I was not able to.

I would swear I had him in my collection already, but good thing I checked. As it turned out I only had Jan Hrdina, not Jiri. I ended up getting my second card of him later that day as well!

Although I title this post NHL players, I include minor league hockey players as well, and by minor, I mean anything not NHL, not the capitalized Minor referring to a certain age class.

As always, all the players were shown in the actual order they entered my collection, thanks to OCD.
1990-91 Upper Deck and 1992-93 Fleer Ultra are two of my favorite hockey card designs of all-time. All you need is to sprinkle in a little 1990-91 Score and you have the trifecta.
