William “Bill” Smart is a resident of Ontario, Canada. Bill is an avid hockey fan who played hockey for 35 years and coached hockey for 18 years. Bill has been collecting hockey and baseball cards plus sports memorabilia for 47 years; non-Sport cards for 3 years, and Militaria (ephemera only) for ten years. Bill started collecting hockey and baseball cards as a child. He would ride his bike around the neighborhood looking for pop bottles to return for the 2¢ redemption and would use his “earnings” to buy hockey cards. As kids, Bill and his brother would also ride to the local dump to scavenge for Bee Hive redemption collars to mail away for hockey photos. With his brother's help, Bill's large Bee Hive collection of hockey cards and Bee Hive photos currently includes over 700 of the 1,023 known hockey photos and 77 of the 200+ airplane photos. Bill's current hockey collection totals over 50,000 different items spanning almost the entire history of hockey. His Militaria collection is from World War II and his non-sport collection is mostly Canadian issues. Bill is always willing to help novice collectors or chat to and learn from senior collectors. Bill is also always looking to add to his collections listed above via trade or purchase. Don't hesitate to write to him for help, chat about collections, or with offers of trade or sale. Bill can always be reached at punchbug@sympatico.ca. Bill is a collector, not a dealer, so he never sells his cards, but he does do some trading.
