MEET DAVE: “My name is Dave Wilson, I’m 36 years old and I work in a signage print shop in Calgary, Alberta.”
WHY MARKUS NASLUND?: “I was born in Langley, British Columbia, and am a lifelong Canucks fan. Once the West Coast Express line of Naslund, Todd Bertuzzi, and Brendan Morrison started to take off in the early 2000s, I was all aboard. Back then, I would just open boxes for fun. I’d never delved into a player collection at the time. Then, in 2003, I was opening a box of 2002-03 SP Game Used when I pulled a Naslund/Bertuzzi Dual Authentic Fabrics Autograph serial numbered 12/21. With that, I decided to start my first ever player collection. I could just as easily have chosen Bertuzzi but, as the captain, Naslund became my guy.”
