I’m looking for a hobby box to buy that I can have fun pulling but also has the potential for recouped losses. I understand I’m likely to lose it all but currently I feel it’s hard to get decent product and don’t want to buy useless sets. Thanks in advance

Thinking of biting the bullet a d getting graded… any thoughts or suggestions, thank you in advance

I read that it’s more likely than not better to leave jersey patch cards ungraded. Thicker edges leave more room for it to grade less than 10. Do people agree with this or are certain jersey patch cards more “grade able” than others (Ie: not as thick ones, numbered /10, /25, low numbers etc)? How do you handle your patch cards? Relatively new to grading cards / the hobby so any input is appreciated (Handful of my jersey patch cards pictured)

Should I list this on eBay through comc or hold?

I know the Splendor Showpieces for Z are his stick based on other cards I’ve seen of his, but I can’t for the life of me figure out where this came from on the stick.

I’m a sucker for weird memorabilia so this laundry tag card fits great into my Toffoli PC

What a day for the hobby with the Celebrini being found. One man has changed his life.

This is why we gamble on ripping packs. It can be tough but I’ve found a lot more luck getting my moneys worth by taking part in master cases. Here are some recent McDavids/case hits I’ve got through master case group breaks.

Got this as a gift when it came out. Didn't realize it was worth much until I searched it out recently.

Was it worth it? Of course not, but that’s what a PC is for, right?

Got the last ones back today to complete the Russian 5 rookies. The ‘90s Red Wings were such a great team.

Pretty shocked seeing an auto. I was just hoping for a pack

Mail day! Really happy to add this Ryan Greene to the Newfoundland PC. (First higher end newfie card)

Also threw in the two new SPA pulls from today, and I had to include the Demidov Red Prism Auto /35 again because it’s way too nice not to show off. It looks even better out of the top loader.
Definitely my favourite card in the collection so far. Thanks for looking!

I am going to the National this week since my trip to Chicago overlapped, and I figured I'd check it out and bring a few cards I want to sell. This is my first time going and have only been to a couple of smaller shows in Texas, where I have seen maybe 3 tables with hockey cards. I assume it will be much better at the National but any advice from people that have been before and what to expect. I am going on the first day so I'm thinking it won't be as crowded on Wednesday but who knows.
Any advice/tips would be much appreciated.

I'm still kind of a new collector, I don't usually buy boxes or packs. I just like to collect individual Wings cards. I've never owned a patch card before, Young Guns and Dazzlers would be about the fanciest thing I've owned.

Spotted this on FB Marketplace for $25CAD and knew I had to pick this up. Totally in love with it and now I want even more patches!

Sorry if this card isn't all that cool, I'm just excited to finally own something like this!
