Alright, that gives us a simple majority. Unless there are dire objections, the larger break will be 1x Case 2011-12 Panini Contenders and 1x box Panini Prime. Something else will be included, just not sure yet. IT IS A SURPRISE.



And my surprises are good. Just ask Sharp_Angus. Lucky bastard.

Do you have a Crown Royale Silhouettes of Rundblad? It's in an Ottawa uniform, but I've got one that I'm going to put on eBay soon.

What do the Silver Skates cards feel like? Anything particularly unique about them?

I got a box of 2011-12 Pinnacle this week, my hits were a Mika Zibanejad Ice Breakers Autograph, a Marc-Andre Fleury Game Night Jersey card, Joe Thornton Threads, Alex Ovechkin Canvas Creation, and a James Reimer Revolution card. Pretty okay box!

I got a Wayne Gretzsky Silver Skates insert in a pack of those last week. Didn't feel any different to me, maybe a little more glossy. (Mine wasn't gold)

Silver skates are very glossy (think the High Gloss parallels) but not on unique stock. The Gretz one is probably shortprint. Look at the number, SS31-SS40 are short printed by a factor of 10, so a nice hit.

Also that is a pretty kickass box of Pinnacle, Revolution inserts are 1-2 per case, Ice Breakers rookie autos are also 1-2 per case. Good show.

Yeah its #SS33 Yay, I finally got something cool!

edit: Looks like one has already sold on ebay for $25. Not bad for a 3 dollar impulse buy.

Apparently you can't attach an image to a post you've already made. Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to post the card because I feel pretty good about it now :)Even though its not half as good as 99.999% of the cards posted here.

Just because it is not worth epic bucks doesn't make it not an awesome pull. That is essentially a case hit and the value is 8x what you paid out. That is pretty solid. Congrats man :cool:

I paid like $90 for a Sidney Crosby jersey/auto on eBay. I also got a hard-signed Evgeni Malkin auto for $50 at a show. It drops way off from there. I collect for myself and not to invest or sell so I don't go that big. I have spent around $200 on game-worn jerseys (the whole thing, not cards) of guys who are only important to me, though.

I spent more on Tyler Weiman's 07-08 Cup rookie black 1/1 than I did on his actual GU jersey. I'm ashamed to say how much.

I've spent 300$ on a game worn jersey of one of my favorite local OHL players.

Is probably the most i've payed for an individual card. However there has been some where I've give up more than that in trade value.

It indeed does! It also puts us just one lonely spot away from fullness. Lets see if Ashe puts his money where his mouth is (incoming All-Goalies case :smith: )

As for hockey cards and $$, the most I have spent on a single card is $200. Twice. Both the 1/1 Rundblad black Cup rookie and the 1/2 Rundblad spectrum Cup rookie cost me $200. I could see myself spending a little more if a shield were to go up, but $200 is really stretching my budget right now.

Just going through options and pricing right now. But I already promised it wouldn't be all goalies. 93-94 French pro set anyone?

If anyone has any ideas of things they could possibily like as an added bonus, leave suggestions. I have a few ideas right now.

Plus I do owe a Christmas gift since wolfy did ;)

:stare: I didn't know this was a thing. As far as the most I've spent on single card, $10.00 on Crosby rookie a long time ago (like his rookie year), it's since been lost in one of the many times I've moved over the past 3 years. :( I'm still a stupid newbie when it comes to hockey card collecting.

A whole eleven and a half dollars! I don't have a lot of disposable income for cards, so I do a lot of watching and sniping on ebay. If your patient you can sometimes find good prices.
