AT LONG LAST: Site Update For March 6th, 2007 and Collection Updates For February 23rd and 24th, and March 2nd and 5th, 2007

Did I say site and collection updates were coming ASAP? Oops...looks like I fibbed a little there. But, I think I've done pretty well, considering everything I had to go through and scan. And that everything included...

- The 1993-94 Pittsburgh Penguins Highlight Tape

- The 1994-95 Penguins Shop 'N Save Calendar

- A 2006-07 In The Game Heroes and Prospects "Silver" Memorabilia Used Jersey Card

- An issue of The Hockey News where Ron was named Player of the Week!

- A Junior Hockey Magazine released right before Ronnie became a Whaler AND NHLer for good.

- EIGHT Ice Time Programs

- And, TWENTY-SEVEN Penguins Report Newspapers!!

Yes, you read that right...twenty freakin' seven editions of the Penguins Report newspaper, primarily from the 1996-97 and 1997-98 seasons. Folks, twenty-seven issues is A LOT. In addition to cleaning and spiffying up the website here and there, I had to scan each and every one of those in both senses of looking for articles about and/or pictures of Ron AND scanning the pictures, if there were any, to save in my computer's archives.

Anyway, for the wait I've put y'all through, I will make sure you get paid handsomely in the form of pictures from and of the newbies in my collection...AND ALSO the Ron Francis Day ticket and program I promised over a year ago...just check out the post above this one, coming later today.

Collection Update For February 10th, Site Update For February 17th, 2007

No, I'm not dead...just that things have been rather uneventful when it comes to my Francis collecting as of late. Depending upon how much more good the "evil eBay" (thank you Bobby Bowden) is to me, that should change within the next couple of weeks.

The biggest thing to happen to my collection as of late is the addition of one the very rare few international trading cards to feature Ronnie...the 2002 Stanley Cup Finals Czech Stadion card, obviously from the Czech Republic.

Many, many thanks to ZDensima1 and their Czech Sports Cards and Memorabilia Store for what was a tricky find.
