Captain my captain

First speaking of captains, picked up this from Listia and it leads into the 20 cards for today fairly well.

A nice insert from 2006-07 Upper Deck MVP.

An important part of any team is the captain. They set the tone, direction, and influence the overall feel and spirit of a team. In Toronto hockey, a couple of the last such Leafs are highlighted in today's 20...

Highlights:

Between the two, always liked Doug a bit more, but both were great in Toronto. This Doug card is on his re-signing in 2002-03 well after his heyday time of the mid-90s. Nice that he got  to come back to Toronto this late in his career.

The rest
Keepers:

A different Pee Wee from the Dodgers (been a while, but I remember!). The SPx do scan in an interesting way....

Traders:


Another run of 2007 Topps football, but nothing of great interest to me atleast.
