100 pack CD/DVD envelopes
stack of Score 90/91 hockey cards
normally I do not take these (post-89/90) hockey cards as this is when they became massively overproduced, and as such - worth very little, but the very first card showing in the plastic baggie with these cards was an Eric Lindros 'Future Superstar' (rookie) card (just inducted into the hockey HoF) and is one of the very few cards that will be worth anything from the early 90s sets...interestingly Martin Brodeur (r) was the second card I found upon opening it up...so....not a bad 'score' as it were - if memory serves Sergei Fedorov, Pavel Bure and Jaromir Jagr are the other cards of the 90-91 sets worth having. (in fact, these were so overproduced that even until recently I have found unopened card packs (and boxed sets) in places like the dollar stores and even Toys'RUs, 25 years after the fact, ProSet also)
@SaviorX Where do you put all this stuff!?!? :)

as for the rest, this small apartment gets a little on the cluttered side at times, I do have 8 bookcases/shelf units for most of my stuff though... (and of course my closets are pretty well packed full)
I'll include these so you can see my dilemma :lol:
Wow! Quite the collection. I actually have the same wide DVD stand in the last picture except mine is wood colored. :)

I have to say that I wasn't at all disappointed, the quality was reasonable for the price...
in fact, Walmart.ca appears to still have them...

(they appear to have been on sale real cheap on the US site, and sold out: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sauder-O-...herry/13044874)
if I had the space I would definitely get another one, as it stands, I would have to replace the one I have with something that's just taller :P

Christmas come early, Part Deux
small 'upgrade' to my camera, nothing too fancy, just a Canon ELPH 190 IS 20MP (a little bit better than my older Canon A3400 IS 16MP, especially in low light, it looks like...also liked the 10x optical zoom, vs 5x on the one I have now)
Attachment 115099old cam vs...Attachment 115100
seems quite a bit sharper to me anyways.
Also seems to snap the photo in 1/4 the time the old one did, and is WiFi as well.
I've actually been fairly happy with these 'lower end' Canon digital cameras.
best part was the price, technically 'free' (I had $170 worth of 'Shoppers' points :p)
