You should have made a section for your box breaking thread (explaining what it is, etc), it's kind of an inexpensive way to get into collecting and what not. Otherwise, well done!!

I'm lucky enough to have all 3 UD 1/1's that were made of Morozov. You'd laugh your balls off at what I paid for them, but I've got them!

I am missing a handful of his cards to have one of everything, but I've pretty much given up on finding them at this point.

Great, good luck. The die-cut prime numbers set is pretty crazy. The entire set is in 3 parts, the first, second and third digits of a 3 digit stat number (like total goals, total wins, whatever) The first number is a jersey, the second is an auto and the third is a patch auto. The series is numbered to the number (so if it is 383 goals, the whole set is /383)

But here is the rub: the first, jersey card is printed to the first digit (in this example, 300), the second, auto card is printed to the second (in this example, 80) and the third, patch auto is printed to the last (in this example, 3 :stare: ) Getting a complete prime number would be awesome :cool:

They did this in Elite back in 96-97...they weren't Jersey/Auto but the same premise as how numbered the die cuts were. I had the compete Jagr set and the last one was out of 6.

As someone who's done the expo as both an attendant (many times) and dealer (twice) It certainly is an awesome experience.

Make sure you bring enough cash, you'll find TONS of bargains and good deals. You'll also see high dollar pieces (cards, memorabilia) that will make your jaw drop.

The Foligno would be $12.50. They are selling for around $11.50 or so on eBay, minus some for fees, plus some for shipping.


Any base cards, duplicates included? I'm sure that I have a ton of Pominville at home and at work.

Don't need dupes.

Question:

Where's a good place to get player checklists?

Quantrill posted:

Hockey coins, Dark? What are these shenanigans? Are they legal tender to pay for more breaks? Why is Jagr's mullet so glorious? (Thanks!)



96-97 Pinnacle Mint! They had a rediculous amount of parallel coins too. Including a solid silver (I think 10 of each solid silver exist) and a 1/1 solid gold coin.

2003-04 ITG Action Jerseys #M237 Mario Lemieux/Johan Hedberg/Martin Straka/Alexei Morozov /50

95$/ea + shipping. Pretty happy with the price since it seems like a really awesome product with some surprisingly good re-sale. I mean hell, a Tomas Zaborsky auto sold for 70$... From what I've read, only something like 4800 boxes made as well.

I'll take any of the Morozov's you get out of it...let me know.

People want ridiculous money for the Morozov stuff...and two Russian guys told me no one collects him...WTF

In fact, I sold a Robert Lang patch to a Pens collector, and he said the same thing...no one collects him. I mean I know he's not the best player in the world, but he played for a high profile NHL team, and he's been one of the best players in the KHL for years, I'm surprised that I'm the only one it seems.

Nope, the Gold Plate thing is /25 - there's one on ebay, guy wants like $50 for it and has listed it 3 times...I'll get it eventually

edit: I do need the auto still though, just kinda waiting on the prices of that stuff to come down a bit.

Still waiting for mine, the mailman thinks I'm a creep now haha, I've been posted up outside waiting for him the last two days, but because it was nice out and I happened to be home and doing yardwork, not because I'm waiting for cards lol

Edit: Ashe, that guy emailed me again about the Geoffrion, asking me if I'd come up "a lot" on my offer. I told him what the top price was I'd be willing to pay, and I told him what similar cards were selling for on ebay, I told him if he thought he could get more than I was offering, or wanted to throw it on ebay I'd be happy to bid on it haha.

I'm going through something like this on a card too, guy's listed it like 3 times with no bids. I love being someone's best hope to sell something.
