May 22, 2013 - Package from Finland

Sweet, another end-of-season package coming back from a fellow grapher!

Finnish players c/o Trade
Harri P. - Jyvaskyla, Finland

One of the best parts of this hobby is interaction with collectors around the world. I have traded for a few years with Harri, one of a trio of great SM-Liiga graphers in Finland.  Harri was able to snag a bunch of Finnish NHL draftees in person at JYP games in Jyvaskyla. Teuvo Teravainen is the highest pick out of the lot, drafted 18th overall by the Hawks last summer. However, most notable in this group of scans are two additions to my Rookie Index Card collection: Lennart Petrell and Lars Eller. With the acquisition of Lars Eller, I am now down to 19 players remaining to complete the 2009-10 set.  Kiitos Harri!
