Hi everyone,

I’m looking to sell my hockey card collection, which I’ve built up over several years.

The collection consists of 270 autographed SP Authentic hockey cards, mostly Sign of the Times and Retro Sign of the Times. All cards have been carefully stored in penny sleeves and top loaders.

The collection breaks down as follows:

• 55 × 2009/10 SP Authentic Sign of the Times
• 38 × 2010/11 SP Authentic Sign of the Times
• 56 × 2011/12 SP Authentic Sign of the Times
• 49 × 2023/24 SP Authentic Sign of the Times
• 72 × SP Authentic Retro Sign of the Times

Some of the more notable names include:
Brian Leetch, Jari Kurri, Dale Hawerchuk, Martin St. Louis, Ilya Kovalchuk, Shea Weber, Victor Hedman, Tyler Seguin, Taylor Hall, Sergei Bobrovsky, Ryan Miller, Phil Kessel, Joe Pavelski, Keith Tkachuk, Eric Staal, Ryan O’Reilly, Logan Couture, Max Pacioretty, Mark Scheifele and Sam Reinhart.

There are also plenty of other established NHL players, All-Stars, Stanley Cup winners and recognizable names throughout the collection.
Ideally, I’d like to sell the entire collection as one lot rather than listing all 270 cards individually on eBay.
Does anyone have any recommendations for dealers, auction houses, consignment services or collectors who might be interested in buying a collection like this as a whole?

I’m based in Germany, but I’m happy to sell to a buyer in the US or Canada and ship internationally.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Whenever you see a fake Jordan, just remember… it could actually be a real Mark Scheifele. 😬
I can’t be the only one seeing it.
The M looks way more Jordan-esque than it has any right to. 😂

Topps announced that the 2026 NBA Finals USA 250 patches will be removed after the games and used in future cards.

Maybe I’m getting old, but that got me thinking.
Years ago, a relic card felt special because there weren’t many of them. Today we have game-worn, player-worn, event-worn, manufactured patches, patch autos, jumbo patches, Logomans and endless numbered versions.

At what point does another patch become just another version?

I’ve also noticed that the more parallels and numbered cards manufacturers create, the more I understand why some collectors only chase true 1/1s.
Curious where everyone stands on this.

A lot of people see the big “M” movement and the loose “J” movement and think they can judge the whole thing from the outline. I don’t think that works with Jordan.

The scary part is that a bad fake does not need to fool everyone. It only needs to look close enough to get wrapped in a decent-looking COA, framed nicely, and sold to somebody who wants to believe.

Upper Deck pieces are still the cleanest lane for me. Not because every non-UDA Jordan is fake, but because the Jordan market is too expensive to treat “looks good to me” as enough.

What I always wonder with Jordan is this: are people actually checking the signature, or are they mostly checking whether the item has the right vibe?

Thanks for your expertise…

The hobby says “collect what you like.”

Then the worst people in it show up the second someone actually enjoys a card.

“$40 card.”
“PSA 8 max.”
“Sticker auto.”
“Last comp lower.”

Congrats. You ruined someone’s excitement and called it honesty.

Not every pull needs your miserable little market correction.

Sometimes it’s just a cool card.

Let people enjoy things.

Some dude posts a raw card worth around $3k. (Bernie is worth much less, but it was a Facebook purchase)

Photos look like they were taken while running from the cops.
“Surface clean.”
“DM only.”
“Crossposted.”
Instant comments:
“vouch”
“legit”
“wish I had funds”
Then somebody sends $4k to “Brady Goat Collector” with a fishing boat profile pic.
And honestly, it somehow usually works out.
The whole hobby basically runs on:
screenshots

vibes

PayPal

some random guy named Mike saying “he good”

Raw cards are a whole different level too.
People zoom into blurry photos like they’re solving a crime scene.
“Tiny white dot top left?”
Brother, that’s JPEG blur.
Then the card shows up looking like it got dragged across concrete.
Still sells every day because it’s 15% under comps and everybody loses their mind over a “deal.”
Honestly, eBay somehow feels more normal than this.
