With all the recent craziness around Prizm in other sports, I've been rethinking my prizm hockey collection. I bought a lot of this at retail back during release, and then started using it as a standard trade filler and a way to spend my comc credit. Just one of those side projects to tinker away at.

I was building the Blue, pulsar blue, red, Pulsar red and green parallels, so none of the crazy golds (unfortunately). Anyway with a 300 card set, and me having generally 2-4 of the parallels for each player, some I have all, a few I have one. I figure I've got at least 900 of these parallels now, but that also means I'm missing around 600, and I'm not sure I ever see myself chasing them all down with so much more on the Wantlist.

Curious as to any thoughts on best way to move these. Obviously I can go the "pick from list" approach on Ebay listings, but a lot of the players are still just in the 1-2 range (especially considering shipping costs), and I expect I'll be left holding a lot after just moving the big names. Does a lot for all of it make sense, or split by parallel type, and what type of pricing would that lead to - not an area I've got much experience in. Any feedback/thoughts appreciated.
 
Sell the big names off the bat and that money alone will probably make you pretty darn happy. Follow that up with variation listings for the lower end ones and let those go for a few weeks. Once that's done, look at bulking out by "color" lots.

That's what I would do.
 
Hockey is getting the most love it has in years so now is definitely the time to move cards you no longer want so good luck with that! I would wait until the season starts up again unless you have players that did well this year and and in the playoffs. Timing is everything, especially with hockey and even Auston Matthews cards have started to take a dip ever since the Leafs flamed out a couple of weeks ago.
