As hard as it is to understand for a die-hard Leaf fan, Montreal requests account for a lot of my business !!! Before I get started on the 1951-52 Habs Parkie cards I'll add some requests for non-North American born players that I have been asked for. First a 1933-34 Ice Kings Missing Link card of Gus Forslund, the first Swedish born NHL player, that I created for a Swedish collector. The same collector also wanted a card of Peter Wallin who played 40 games as a Ranger in 1981-82. And from Russia we had a request for the ill-fated Evgeny Belosheikin, nicknamed "Evgeny the Great" and touted as the next Tretiak, who led the Soviet Red Army to a New Year's Eve 1986 4-1 win over Canada. He was drafted by the Oilers in 1991 but never played an NHL game although he did play 3 with their AHL team in Cape Breton. Troubled by alcoholism he committed suicide on Nov. 18, 1999.

AuthorI am a lifelong Maple Leaf fan, now retired, who started creating custom cards for myself of Toronto players who never had a card issued in the Maple Leaf uniform. From posting some of these on eBay it has become the proverbial "snowball down hill" !!! Archives
