Chernyshov…

… scores two goals and some smart ass buys up all his Young Guns on COMC under $15 and relists them at over $30. Are we on motherfucking Wall Street or what the fuck is? Same thing happened before with Will Smith. Gotta love these pro “investors”. I just want to collect cards, man…

First ever 1/1 pull

I’m still somewhat new to the hobby and not the most active collector but my question is i know it’s obviously rare since it’s a 1/1 but what do yall think of this card?

SP Game Used 4 Nations Face Off Fabrics Set Progress

Trying to collect the full Team Canada set. Still need McDavid and a couple other bigger bales, but this has been fun. Big chunk of them arrived this week via COMC.

26-27 UD Artifacts Pull

Can't find much information about this card, but happy with the pull!

Splendor looks amazing

But $5k USD+ for a Lemieux patch auto or $700+ for a drasaitl auto.

Thanks but I’ll buy premier or ultimate or cup cards for 60%.

Do people really think it’s that valuable because of the slab? Or because the product is finite?

I collected 2017-18 splendor. The prices people want for this are laughable, right?

Possible unpopular opinion regarding ePack trades

If someone is going to offer a random assortment of smaller cards for a bigger card, they should be sending overvalue.

Unless it’s on my wishlist, I’m probably just going to end up trying to move it on COMC which is a lot more work for a dozen smaller cards than it is for one big card.

My favorite '90s goalie. My favorite '90s inserts.

On April 29, 1997, Curtis Joseph changed my brain chemistry.

When he lunged across the crease to rob Joe Nieuwendyk in OT of Game 7 against the Dallas Stars, I was watching at home on ESPN. From that moment on, I was obsessed with NHL goalies, and "Cujo" was my number one guy.

That eventually led to a pretty insane goalie card collection, which I just began revisiting and selling off this spring.

I still adore the inserts of this era, particularly 1997-98, the season when I first began collecting.

Here are some of my Cujo faves:

  • 1997-98 Donruss Preferred Color Guard: absolutely gorgeous die-cut design on a see-through acetate, with Cujo looking especially fearsome here in a paddle-down stance.
  • 1997-98 Pinnacle Masks Die-Cut: there have been a lot of mask-themed sets over the years, but this is the definitive one to me.
  • 1997-98 Pacific Crown Royale Freeze-Out Die-Cuts: insane, over-the-top Pacific goodness, looking like an electrified snowflake.
  • 1997-98 Donruss Between The Pipes: this was the first goalie insert set I really chased, ripping countless packs of Donruss to fill it out. I love how the bright action photos pop against the dark background.
  • 1997-98 Pacific In The Cage Laser-Cuts: these blew my mind back in the day, with elaborate die-cutting to simulate a net behind each goalie.
  • 1997-98 Pacific Dynagon Stonewallers: psychedelic, shiny, and a little weird: absolute catnip to a young collector like me.
  • 1997-98 Pacific Revolution Return to Sender: Pacific struck again with the gold-foil stamp design, featuring multiple action shots on the front.

First time seeing Allure in person. Reality vs. COMC photos is a very welcome surprise.

Didn’t pick any of this set up locally so I didn’t realize how much better they look in hand. I know they aren’t for everyone, but I must have a crow brain because I like shiny and colorful.

I would have loved some non sticker autos on these, but otherwise no complaints.
