Welp, CNC had their case of each Cup tonight. 36 tins. $1000 per spot in that break. And the winner is... no one. Best hit was a Wayne Gretzky honorable numbers /99 patch auto. A $500 card. Other highlights include Jordan Eberle 1/1 plate auto, Eberle Signature patch, Eberle Limited Logos, Corey Perry Rookie patch auto, Vinny Lecavalier honorable numbers /4 Program of Excellence dual auto MAF/Lehnier.

And a bunch of other ~$300 cards. Howe, Lemieux, Crosby autos.

End of the day, a huge bust. Even the guy who gets 1st overall will be hard pressed to do much more than turn a profit. Welp, glad it was not my money.

They also threw in an autographed Jordan Eberle jersey and an autographed Guy Lafleur jersey as draftable hits.

Wound up I was able to find my catalytic converter for about $150 less than my neighbour/mechanic quoted, so I think I'll celebrate with some hockey cards after work tomorrow.

I highly doubt they're worth anything, but I found a pack of 1995 Topps Stadium Club hockey cards. The full 50 card set. It includes Geoff Sanderson of the Whalers and has five fancy looking "Topps Rookie Picks" cards. I've tried Googling them but not much comes up. Anyone know anything about these?

So last nights break was stellar. Wolf ended up with a pretty decent redemption, and I walked out with a patch...lehtonen! Only took like 30 breaks but got exactly what I wanted.

Is anyone in this thread from Vancouver? I am culling my collection very severely before I move to Ottawa. It is hard, but I need to get it done. Does anyone have a card shop they trust I can get an appraisal at?

You could try craigslist or ebay the important parts.
Some of us around here might even be interested. I am a Dallas Collector, as well as some early Thrasher stuff if it helps.

Well Dallas and Phoenix weren't teams in the NHL when I collected cards. You goddamned kids get off my lawn.

I bought a 1 month Beckett pricing subscription to organize my collection, then I am going to take it to three shops to get estimates. I won't sell if I don't get decent offers. I know my Pat Roy RC is worth at least 125, and there are 30-40 other cards that should top 30.

Patrick Roy rookies sell in the $60s on ebay, unless they are graded 8 or 9 in which case you can double that amount.

Yeah, the thing's not officially graded, we didn't do that in the old days. You just didn't have buddies throw their cards at it as you stood it against a wall if the goalie wasn't Pete Peeters.

Hmm, just contacted Panini about getting a several month old Kris Draper jersey auto from Certified /25 replaced. They have usually been pretty stellar about doing proper replacements. What did they replace it with?


Matt Read Contenders auto /800 :stare: I am pretty pissed. Gonna call and have a chat.


e: Update

So I called Customer Service and asked for Redemptions. The lady I got there was like 'Well, I understand your frustration but it is a random pull and actually we are replacing your card valued at $15 with a card valued at $25 (Read sells for $5 on ebay lol) so that is that.' I disagreed with the assessment of value and I was told too bad. I told her I'd rather wait another 6 months for the Draper than take something /800. She said too bad, you can't do that. I asked to talk to her supervisor, he is out of town. I ask if I can talk to a different supervisor, she says no. I get pissed, tell her I will be calling back on Monday about it. She says ok, bye.

So I stew for a few minutes and call back, ask for a CS supervisor instead. Get a lady on the phone, explain the situation. She again tells me that it is a random pull, they can't change it. I say ok, fine, I understand, but I am still not happy with it and would rather just wait for the other card. She says she can stop the package and do that if I want to. I tell her to do that, let her know that the lady over in redemptions told me I could NOT do that. She apologizes for that, says she will get on the line with the mail room and stop the package and put me back on the wait list for the Draper. I thank her, end of phone call. Before I finished typing this out, she had made the correction. Thank you Jessica in CS.

Was perusing Target's clearance bin when I found four packs of 09-10 UD Series 1. They're $1.59 a pack, what the gently caress, why not?

Nothing spectacular, but I did wind up pulling a Tyler Myers Young Guns, so I guess I'm pretty okay with it.

No Flyers though. :(

I love finding goodies in the clearance sections. Always grab UDS1/2 packs when they are there, got some nice young guns out of them in the past (Doughty, Simmonds, Holtby) Tyler Myers is solid for the $6 investment.

Probably just one of those little plastic clam cases that you get in essentially every ITG 1-pack product. It will be a lot easier to store than booklet cards. My OEL booklet is still naked... inside my locked card wall case :)

I've actually only been in one OPC and one Score in the last three weeks. After these, I might jump in panini prime(Though probably too expensive/risky for my tastes) and then it's onto the expo.

Although through trading I did pickup 25 new cards for the Gudbranson collection today.
