My "home cafe" is Queenstown. HRC Queenstown opened on May 28 2001.

I started collecting pins, Xmas '02, kinda by accident. Whilst trying to find PH shot glasses, I was beseeched with requests for HRC Queenstown pins & shots. Once I saw all the different pins & series etc.. I was immediately hooked. I collected the entire '02 hurricane series first but then had to sell due to bills! :-(

Alas, there are only 1 or 2 collectors in NZ so I have traded with many great collectors from around the world. Please check out my "Great Traders" links page!

I have only been to HRC Queenstown once! I live in a small city called Wanganui(pop.50,000), which is a 10hr drive + 2hr ferry ride, from Queenstown!I have not been to any other HRC yet!

I come from a poor but hard-working background & work as a Top-Grade knife handler at a meat processing company. My teenage kids have flown the coop so I hope to have an opportunity to fly overseas for the first time in my life this year! I may go to Australia first & visit Melbourne, Sydney & Surfers Paradise HRC's!

I have long since sold all my PH shots except a few. I can purchase any item from the cafe, but BEWARE, the pins are the most expensive in the world! 

 

These are the sets I have or am trying to finish at the moment. I have scans of my collections for your veiwing.

Id also like to give Thanks to my cousin, Graeme Tutaki, for the use of his scanner & knowledge in getting these scans posted.

 

Following are my Wishlist & Traderlist. Feel free to contact me if interested in anything. I may purchase pins also. I can purchase anything from HRC Queenstown in exchange for pins I need. I also regularly order from Melbourne & Sydney cafes.
