Well of course, my main focus is the all-time Expos roster collection.... but within that I set myself some goals with "sub-collections".... one is to obtain a signed card from every Canadian to have played or coached for the Expos!
Today I added to that collection without having to do anything... Jim Fanning, who has lived in Canada for 43 years (more than half his life, he's 84), officially became a Canadian citizen today!
I got him TTM 4 years ago, he was one of the first ones I got in the collection... but today he also became a part of the Canadian collection.
