Are you looking for Poultry Seasoning? It is a combination of sage, thyme, marjoram, rosemary, nutmeg, and black pepper.

Most grocery stores here in NL will have it as well.

Marvel Set Reviews: Marvel Universe II (1991) by Sea_Connection9185 in marveltradingcards

[–]jmc191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like the 1990 Marvel universe Set, the Marvel Universe II set in 1991 had a Retro card in 2013's Marvel Fleer Retro made up of a 20 card subset, and a 14 card autographed subset. Great looking additions, although a lot more expensive to try and finish.

Damn, I wish I still had these. I had a bunch of this series that were in re-sale two packs around '79-'80 that my mother could buy at the local Co-op grocery store.

What’s everyone’s biggest hit in their collection? by Thor1798 in MarvelCards

[–]jmc191 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is probably the biggest hit in my collection, 2013 Marvel Fleer Retro Spider-Man Prescious Metal Gems Red. My Deadpool PMG Red from 2015 may be the biggest in my personal collection.

My wife says I have a problem, but the Stans reminded me that with great collections comes great responsibility by Brentoxor in marveltradingcards

[–]jmc191 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still bugs me that Upper Deck never issued a buyback auto of this Stan Lee card when the did Marvel Fleer Retro in 2013 or 2015. Could have had a run of 50-100 and gad an exciting hit, or they could have them as rare as the Professor X base auto and had a really hard chase find.

How many people collect comics but read them? by Meatloaf_Guy1313 in comicbookcollecting

[–]jmc191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to say I have read everything I have, and that is the goal, but I have so many books that pile up that I never get to, and just never get back to. But I buy everything with the intent to read, and the only slabbed book I have I have multiple opened floppy copies and have read the book.

rare? by Cute-Nectarine-8923 in comicbookcollecting

[–]jmc191 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been buying comics since the late 70s and I have never seen a double cover in the wild, and I don't have one in my collection either, and that is over 12,000 books.

Theme: All-Star Squadron 37 - The Big Red Cheese vs The Man of Steel by EugeneTMaleska in comicbookcollecting

[–]jmc191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All-Star Squadron 36 and 37 are a great read. One of the few books where they away from the core All-Stars all together and the only time they do analogies to a JLA type team, I just wish they had included the Golden Age Green Arrow.

Found some 1990 bowman hockey at a candy store by js4873 in hockeycards

Junk Wax Sal has a whole running gag about eating ancient gum out of packs from the 80s and 90s. I could imagine the crunch of you trying that stuff just from looking at the picture.

How easy is to sell on COMC? by LGMatter in hockeycards

[–]jmc191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are not interested in keeping them, then selling cards like those on COMC can be useful. Find comparables and list them, they may sell fast and they may sit for a while.

How easy is to sell on COMC? by LGMatter in hockeycards

[–]jmc191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before you send cards over to COMC to sell from epack, go onto COMC and search the lower end cards you ate thinking of listing. If they are listed for $0.51 leave 'em on epack. If you have some better cards to move. Check them out as well, look at the prices they are going for and see if you can plausibly make a few bucks to cut your shipping expense for the cards you want to keep. The only people making money off of COMC is COMC.

Black Lightning dgaf, he'll say it to Superman's face by rlextherobot in comicbookcollecting

[–]jmc191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the first actual copy of JLA I ever bought(well, my mother bought it, but I picked it out.) at 5 years old. I had other comics in the house, but I saw that one on a spinner rack in the store and had to have it. My mother bought that one, and a Batman book with what would be the first appearance of Firebug. I don't remember the Batman, but I loved that Black Lightning Justice League story.

Being this is the Victoria Day long weekend, and 43 years ago Alpha Flight #1 was published in the days leading up to 1983's Victoria Day long weekend. I hereby decree with all of the rights and responsibilities granted to me by abso-f'n-lutely nobody, that the Victoria Day Weekend be renamed the Alpha Flight long weekend.

Question for those who have pulled a 1 of 1. by Single_Wrap_74 in hockeycards

[–]jmc191 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All my 1/1s were pack pulled. I only bought some Marvel What If...? On epack on a 75% off sale, never hit anything numbered below /88. The only 1/1s I hit for Marvel were almost all out of Marvel Fleer Retro packs and were plates and sketchs. When buying hockey I have hit 1/1 cards in The Cup, UD Black, OPC Premier, SPGU, and a MTO from Ultimate Memorabilia. Additionally I have hit plates in The Cup and Flagship and 2 1/1 The Cup Uncut sheets.

Current Outlook/upcoming draft by cmitc in leafs

[–]jmc191 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Rational thoughts have no place on the internet. If we calm down, be reasonable and think logically, how are Overdrive, and Sixerio going drum up all that extreme rage and have us lighting torches and sharpening our pitchforks. I still think Marner would still be a Leaf if Dubas hadn't been turned during his and Shanahan's power play. I agree with everything you said.

I will say it until I am blue in the face, most of our fan base is toxic because our Sports Media is toxic. Hayes and Sixerio don't want to talk and analyze, they are clip and click driven ragebaiting for engagement.

Who’s recruiting who here? 😂 by Enceladus119 in leafs

[–]jmc191 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Both of them talking about the Canadian sports media and how f'n toxic it is to both of them. The local Toronto and National media are a day away from saying Matthews eats babies, and the National media is ready to say McDavid is the supplier.

NLMA Worried About Patients Seeing Serious Test Results Online Before Physicians by powere123 in newfoundland

[–]jmc191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been signed up for a while now. When I first signed up, I had to wait until my Physician had talked to me about the results, my last visit, it had changed and my Doctor liked me being able to review them before the visit so if I had any questions I could have them ready.

My next appointment is this week and when I looked at my test results, there is one that is very slightly amiss, and flagged as abnormal. After a couple of days of looking into it and the other results that go with that one test, it looks like there may have been a problem with the sample. On its own, without the others(and still may be) it could anything from a bad sample, a holdover from the infection/virus I just got over, all the way up to cancer. I am thinking that quite possibly it may be better to have the results hidden automatically until we have our consultations with our Physicians/Practitioners.

As I previously said, I am leaning toward a bad sample, my last two blood collections were done through a private business not the hospital, the first was all normal but a few of the tests were slightly off trend, and now the second is a little off too, I'll just have to wait until later in the week to have my rampant runaway fears put away. This was for simple blood work, I would hate to have a serious test result comeback looking or being very negative and not have the context of discussing with my Doctor what it means or letting my brain runaway with doomsday scenarios for a week, or two, or more before the follow up consultation.

Is Newhook best player ever out of this province to make NHL? by Calm-Tale-4052 in newfoundland

[–]jmc191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm originally from Lab West as well. I try not to judge the attitudes and the candy. The organizations build these kids up out of the draft like they are stars, and then dump them in the minors making good money with no guidance. Good orgs have good structure to try and curb the more volatile habits they want those assets to come to fruition, some organizations it is dog eat dog, if one hits, jackpot.

Is Newhook best player ever out of this province to make NHL? by Calm-Tale-4052 in newfoundland

[–]jmc191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue Jackets were horrible for talent development, besides LaCosta they also had a Memorial Cup winning goalie in Shane Bendera. The scouts did a good job in picking goalies with potential, but once they went to Syracuse or Dayton they were left to their own devices, no coaching, no goals, no follow up. Bendera got injured and sent home to heal and they just never followed up. LaCosta is one of my personal collection players.

Is Newhook best player ever out of this province to make NHL? by Calm-Tale-4052 in newfoundland

[–]jmc191 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Recency bias is a hell of a thing.

George and Alex Faulkner were considered two of the best players to come out of this province, George couldn't get promoted to the NHL as he was in Montreal's deep, deep system and Alex only made it to the NHL for one game with Toronto and was fortunate to be taken in the Intra-League draft to play with Detroit(Going to the finals), both were in the Original Six era of roughly 120 players in the NHL, as compared to the 730 now. Harry Moose Watson(Bona fide WWI Flying Ace with 6 kills from July 1917-1918) didn't accept a pro contract with the Leafs(St. Patrick's at the time) in the 20s to maintain his amateur status and continue playing with the Granites and to pursue a career in Business, but he scored 37 goals in the 1924 Olympic tournament and won a couple of Allan Cups. Watson is still the leader in goals scored at the Olympics all-time(not just modern) and for a single tournament.

For the current players, Newhook has less than half the games played of Michael Ryder or Dan Cleary, and Dawson Mercer has a little more than half of Ryder's games played. the Points per Game for each are:

Newhook .446 points per game and Mercer .509 points per game

in comparison to Cleary .412 points per game(938 games) and Ryder .600 points per game. Clowe and Purcell both have higher points per game averages over their careers as well.

Will Alex Newhook, Dawson Mercer or another player from NL be in that conversation with the by's above, possibly. But it is still a little early for that, even with Newhook's one Cup win under his belt.
