I'm beginning the process of selling off my retro goalie collection, which mostly covers the '90s and '00s.

This is the era when game-used memorabilia cards first blew up in popularity, and wow: I really went all-in on collecting these things. Pretty much any guy who tended goal during the Dead Puck Era is represented here in the form of jerseys, sticks, pads, and pucks.

I've included some of my favorite swatches in the gallery above, but there's a ton more beyond what you see here.

If you have a goalie from this era or a team you collect, please let me know and I'll be happy to share a full list of what I've got! Because who needs another Schaefer or Celebrini card when you could add some Roman Cechmanek or Wade Flaherty to your collection?

This red-headed woodpecker has taken up residence in the woods behind our house and I’m obsessed.

After 20-plus years away, I'm finally revisiting my old goalie card collection, which has been gathering dust in a multi-drawer dresser at my parents' house.

I thought I'd be most excited to see all the game-used memorabilia cards, the autographs, the rookies, the "nukes" of my collection, as it were. But to my surprise, I've been utterly delighted by all the bizarro inserts of this era. The overly elaborate die-cuts, the turn-of-the-millennium futurist designs, the fact that Pacific had a line of Christmas ornaments that they seeded into packs.

Here are some of my favorites from my Martin Brodeur and Dominik Hasek stacks.
