    Longest mail delay?

    I was getting my mail today, and saw a bubble envelope in the box. I haven't bought anything for a while, but did mail some cards out a few days ago, so I figured maybe one had the incorrect postage. Lo and behold, it was a tracked package I had sent to the US on December 12th, 2022. Marked as...

    825 card lot available, avg. card value $20

    Hey all, hope you're doing well. I've gradually been accumulating cards but with my wedding coming up, am wondering if someone would like to take everything off my hands at once. I do have a full list available, there is a sizable amount of Young Guns in quantities. I've added pics of some of...

    Draisaitl SPx Finite Auto RC /49 Graded 9 - $500 CAD OBO

    Wife was doing some re-organizing and came across this card I had completely forgotten about, lucky us! Not sure if the price is reasonable or not so please feel free to correct me if I'm out to lunch. Considering how well he's playing in the playoffs right now I think it's fair?

    Best/favourite auction steals?

    Thought this might be a fun topic seeing as the majority of us have spent many years on ebay and most likely have a crazy story or 2. Some I'm sure were terrible listings, others just fortunate stumbles. My personal favourites that I can recall: - Winning a "9 card Alex Ovechkin lot" last year...

    Get It Shipped comparables in Canada?

    As many of us are aware, card storage services such as Get It Shipped, Ship My Cards, and COMC are all available in the US as ways to receive cards and have them all shipped to us in Canada in one bundle. I'll be out of the country for a few months and was wondering if any such service exists...

    Hey folks, I know nothing about this set. My friend has an unscratched Mitch Marner Spectrum #s-98 from this set. Are these hard to find/sought after still? Thanks in advance!

    HHOF inductions?

    Vernon? Barrasso? Turgeon? Sorry but I think it's embarrassing to have these guys in the Hall. Who's next? Kessel, Heatley, Ryan Miller, Getzlaf, Perry, Lecavalier, Gaborik, etc. I'm sure I sound like the "old man yelling at cloud" guy but the bar to get in is pathetic at this point. Heard...

    Summit Series 50th Anniversary Pure Gold Coin

    Hey everyone, managed to pick up something pretty unique in a trade recently. It's a 1 ounce pure gold coin commemorating the Summit Series. The only thing I've really found about it is from the Mint's official site where it seems they still have some available...

    Players who were better in the second half of their careers?

    Watching David Perron, and he's really taken off over the last several years. Can't really think of anyone who has been noticeably better in their later years. Personally, I don't consider a guy like Lidstrom, who was always great but never recognized. Curious to see other examples!

    Question re: Get It Shipped

    Hello all, I've recently signed up for Get It Shipped to use for my US purchases, as it seems much more cost-effective than COMC. For anyone who has used this service, my question is how/where do you see that your cards have been received and are being stored? I find the layout of the site is...

    A positive COMC story!

    Hey folks, hope you're all enjoying your summer. Just received an e-mail from COMC, but first, some background. Earlier this year, I had requested a shipment from COMC. I used one of the faster shipping options as I had some cards that I wanted to get top dollar on while they were hot...
