I'm originally from Windsor, Ontario, so definitely no Gretzky sightings.  I have met a few players over the years: Ted Lindsay, Tie Domi, Lanny McDonald...

For more recent players, I've seen Taylor Hall but no McFavid sightings yet.

(I'm a Leafs Fan )

 

Tie Domi is one of those names that sticks in your memory even if you're not a huge hockey fan.  Am I right that he was known for getting into tons of fights?

There were lots of those guys , he was a notable for his time along with Bob Probert and others

I'm not a big hockey fan by any stretch, but my wife and I spent 12 years or so living in the greater Boston area. 

When we first moved there we had an apartment just North of the City and our neighbors across the hall were Tim Thomas's parents.... Thomas was the goalie at the time I believe.  When they went to the Stanley Cup files there were news crews coming to interview them. 

I can't remember ever speaking to his mother, but his father was very nice.

Well then you could appreciate the best player in the world McDavid and thanks for Hyman! That’s why those Leafs will never win lord Stanley !!!

Hyman? Really?

Thanks for that…suddenly I feel less sad about being a Leafs fan

[Subby1938]

He’s got 7 goals for us and we are 9-2. Enjoy your brutal season to come . You can watch Oilers in playoffs . For some reason number 1967 or was 1968 keeps popping up. Not sure why?

Yes. He was an enforcer for the Leafs but what really was interesting about him is when he was fighting he always looked like he was smiling on his wedding day.

He was one tough dude.

Haha Domi was a midget who more then often got his head kicked in. Especially from Probert who tuned him like a fiddle..

I don't watch much hockey and yes, he was on the short side but every time I saw him hitting someone he was grinning like it was Christmas.

Pulled this one out of cold storage because I might trade it towards a better copy. Nice and raw, might give it a read tonight!

Yeah, the story isn't bad....which is more than I can say for a lot SA Marvels. Some of them take forever to read too, friggin novels compared to today's comics.

Just make sure that you're not eating french fries with ketchup while you're reading it!

Agreed. You should be eating pizza and drinking a beer when reading AF15.

This "Stan Signed" raw pence copy just sold at auction today.

The auction house graded it as (GD+/VG-) so (3.0ish)

26% commission

I believe in US dollars (with commission) this went for $51,000

Pretty big price for a raw 3.0 pence.

I thought so too.  I was even thinking 4.5 until I saw the piece missing from the splash.

The "non-verified but pretty much 100% Stan Sig" might have figured into the price too.

I'm biased, but I'm glad Pence copies are getting more recognition and legitimacy.

This issue was part of the Ian Penman sale held across two days in Newcastle this week. The wonderful original owner collection included 19,000 comics with near complete and good/high grade silver and bronze Marvel/DC runs. And every key/mega key except IH #181.

Ian Penman was a British music journalist and his Stan signatures were almost certainly picked up when The Man visited the UK in 1976 to promote the expansion of Marvel UK. A visit which was as much a rock tour as it was PR.

It was a great sale of a great collection with almost all comics - judging by the pence copies - plucked straight from the racks. And not a slab in sight.
