Hi folks on Hockey-L and OlymPuck.... Since college hockey is in its summer lull and the Olympic teams aren't quite rolling yet, I thought I'd take advantage of some down time to make a request and an offer... There was some conversation recently on Hockey-L concerning sets of hockey cards produced by universities - the discussion was primarily concerned with the legality in the eyes of the NCAA. However, that discussion and several side discussions it prompted got me to thinking... I'm involved with a group called the Electronic Hockey Checklist (EHC) Project. Over the last couple of years we have transferred checklists for nearly every hockey card set ever produced (from 1911 to the present) onto electronic media. At last count, it was something like 300-400 sets. REQUEST: Most of the sets we have listed are the standard sets produced by the major companies: Topps, O-Pee-Chee, Score, Upper Deck... We also have a large number of "team" sets that were produced regionally for various NHL teams. What we *don't* have are listings of sets produced either for college teams or - if any exist - outside of North America. These would make wonderful additions to our listings. Thus my request is for lists of any of these sorts of sets. I already have listings for the Maine sets (no surprise), and thanks to Jim and John I'll be able to do the Harvard and Michigan sets as well. But listings for any other college sets and *any* international sets would be most welcome! Please email me before sending the set to be certain that we don't already have it - having typed more than my share of checklists, I'd hate to have anyone do unnecessary work. OFFERS: 1. All the checklists are freely available. If you want them all, I can give you an ftp site where you can retrieve them. If you only want a few, just let me know, and I can email them to you. 2. (The Good One!) What is really slick is that we can produce listings (sorted by player or by set) of all the cards ever produced depicting any particular player or set of players. For instance, I have listings for players who played at Wisconsin, players who played at Maine, players who played on a US Olympic team, players who won the Hobey Baker Award, etc. All I need to produce such a listing is a list of the players in whom you're interested. So if any of you can help us out or if I can help any of you out, please let me know.
