    Hockey Card Stories 2

    I enjoyed the first one but I have to say that the 2nd one is even better. Great reminder of what collecting is all about. Plus I discovered some cards that I’ll be picking up just because of the stories in the book.

    Hobby Firsts

    I was thinking about starting a new collection with first auto (I think it is the 91/92 UD Hull Heroes), first acetate set, first GU set, serial #, etc. Has anyone done anything like this? Do you have any other suggestions of “firsts” for me?

    PSA Population Report

    Just curious, does anyone know if PSA adjusts the pop report for resubmits? If not, then wouldn’t the report be overstated?

    Getting your cards back from COMC

    Have any sellers done this? How difficult is it? Thinking about submitting my first lot but wondering what will happen if some items don't sell. Do sellers just continue to pay the monthly fee?

    One of the best things I did in a while...

    Had a bunch of vintage sets stored in white boxes and some in the clear set boxes. I've been upgrading commons to try and put the nicest set together. Well I've been doing a year or two here and there and tonight I got the 85/86 Topps set in 9 pocket sheets. Nice to see all the cards laid out...

    Does this sound fishy?

    Here is the email chain between me and a local seller on Craigslist regarding a vintage set: Me: I'm interested in the set you have on Craigslist. How much were you asking? Seller: $850 Me: Sent link to ebay sales ranging from 200-400 depending on condition. I tell him I would be more in that...

    Market Update

    For those that attended the Expo, could you please post some comments about what was selling well? Or what wasn't? Besides the obvious McDavid, Larkin, etc. what was moving? Anything going for particularly high or low prices? Any sales that you were surprised by? What were buyers looking for...

    Vintage Hockey Card Book

    I want to say I saw a link or a thread here awhile back about a vintage hockey book. It was not "Hockey Card Stories". Seemed like it was more of an informational book about vintage sets. I vaguely remember going to the link and it looked like it was a guy selling it on his website for around...

    Question about local clubs

    Do any of you have any local collecting clubs that you belong to? I'd like to start one in my area but I'd like to get a few ideas from people who are involved in one. I'd like to have a few perks to the club like free admission to the monthly show, or maybe free tables where members could sell...

    69/70 OPC Question

    How much less desirable are the cards if the stamp is on the back? If the stamp was on the back, does it affect the grade in any way?
