Do you sell or just buy? Looking for some opinions on someone with selling experience. What type of cards are worth listing.

Gonna be out of the hockey card game over the summer, oh so close to being able to get a place to call my own, hoping to be into something by fall so its crunch time now. I'll still hang out for the breaks though!

I'm thinking of listing up a big box of cards that are 4-10$, not sure if this is a bad idea or not.

Edit:

Picked up a box of Artifacts today, pretty solid box.

Rookie Redemption - STL - Tarsenko!
Black Autograph /5 Nicklas Backstrom(wsh) !
Along with a Spezza patch and a parros jersey which I swapped the store owner for a limited rookie redemption of STL. Should be a Tarasenko

Checking in for a bit of advice. I'm looking to sell (or trade I suppose) My Superlative Famous Fabrics Quad (Lafleur, Dionne, Martin, and O'Reilly) its 8/9 and I have no idea what a reasonable price for it is. Any ideas?

Here is my Geoffrion collection as it sits today, sorry for the lovely cell phone pic, I'm still waiting on at least 4 more cards that are in transit.

I don't know what it is worth, but don't put it up for auction whatever you do. You will get screwed on the soft market. I would list it BINobo for $80 and see what offers roll in.

I saw a guy searching through all the artifacts packs at target today for the fat ones, I hope he enjoys his $40 stack of decoys and single lame jersey. Is there honestly ever a decent hit in the retail packs or is this guy just removing any chance of a little kid getting a white jersey swatch from his favorite 3rd pairing d-man for no reason?

I have gotten decent stuff out of retail packs, but mostly young guns (Tavares, Karlsson, Doughty etc) but pack searching retail stuff is dumb. I have seen some big stuff out of retail (Crosby auto, Stamkos auto) but it is ungodly rare. Likely he is spending $20 on a stack of decoys.

Thing is, I was a Sega kid. I have never played a lot of these games. I am sure I have played Contra/Super C once, but I don't remember. Really the only time I played NES was with a cousin or at a friends. So most of these games are new to me. Very excited

e: Wow Fedex sucks. Just tracked the system. Next wednesday. gently caress that USPS or UPS would have that here in half the time Oh well, I will wait.

Glad you got them intact! I've just been holding onto them for too long (15 years or more) and it was time to let them go since my system no longer worked. I listed that quad jersey for 80. Thanks for the advice on the listing, here's hoping some offers come in.

The goalie controls in Blades was bad, really bad. The fighting (and intermission Gradius) made up for it, though.

Hey I posted my Geoffrion PC the other day, your card was one of the ones mentioned in transit, I will rephotograph it when it comes because I think it's gonna be that awesome an addition. Especially with the other ones I have coming.

Outside of the odd Young Gun/Rookie Card, I haven't pulled anything exciting out of retail:

-Matt Carkner base auto from Score 11-12 (Sens)
-Brandon Sutter Yours Truly Autograph from 11-12 Pinnacle (Canes, though it's a Zenith insert)
-Nikolai Khabibulin Fabric of the Game "EDM" die-cut jersey (Target blaster)

Here's my best hockey retail pull:



Pulled out of one of those 8 packs for $10 things at Target a few years ago. I have no idea why it books for $175.

My best ever retail pull was a LeBron auto out of 05-06 Hardcourt.

Blades of Steel is in there as well as Ice Hockey. Now to choose between Skinny, Normal and Fat guys. Also TMNT 1 is a bit overrated in hardness. The Dam level is hard but beatable on the first try if you know what you are doing. Some games are just unfair hard. Like Ghosts N Goblins or Mickey Mousecapades.

A good pack searcher can tell the difference between a decoy and a real hit. Sticker autos can also be located.

I've never scored anything super neat out of retail for hockey, but I have on baseball, particulairly repacks. Once a 25 dollar investment got me two relics and an auto out of 11 packs. I even bought one of those "guarnteed auto" things on a whim last weekend and ended up with a rookie auto of someone who actually isn't totally forgettable.
