    A massive thank you to forsberg21 for helping me reacquire my former cornerstone...

    I used to have one of the most prominent Jason Spezza collections around. I sold most everything just around the time I got married and while I was glad I did, I was equally sad to do it. Sometimes when I’m bored at home, I’ll go on eBay and look up cards that I once had and see what they’re...

    Get on this, UD!

    The sales window for the Topps Project 2020 Griffey by Keith Shore (who I’m led to believe by this artwork to be 6 years old) just closed. Topps LITERALLY just printed $2 million. If you don’t start doing stuff like this, you don’t like money.

    The Dreaded “Buyer’s Group” exposed...

    So I’ve mentioned the legendary “Buyer’s Group” before and I believe they have been responsible for a lot of the price hikes over the last few years. Mainly, the Sidney Crosby Young Guns RC. This just happened over on Blowout...

    How has the hockey market been during the pandemic?

    Since the pandemic and the urgency to stay home has been enacted, how do you find that buying and selling has been on the hockey side? Basketball is insane (insanER, actually). Football has seen an uptick and baseball has been more insane that I have ever seen it. I had a deal with a big...

    Awesome act of kindness!

    So a little while ago, Dr Price found a stash of Gordie Howe autos in his warehouse and offered the cards for sale here on HI. I was hoping to get in on landing a 1952 autograph but missed out by a few hours. In the same post, I mentioned that if anyone was selling extras, I would be...

    Hockey Card Memories

    I was talking to a dude at work whom I just found out was big into cards back in the 90s and we started trading stories. I have many but one I look back on fondly was buying cases of UD Hockey as a 15 year old back in 1990 and opening them and sorting them into snap cases and setting up with...

    Which parts of the hobby is thriving?

    No secret, I’ve left collecting hockey cards. I miss it a little because it’s what I had in common with a lot of great people on these hobby boards. But that’s it. I can name a few reasons I left...the cost vs the return, ePack further diminishing that return, lack of growth in the market...
