    8 Loose Packs of 2013-14 Fleer Showcase Was A Pretty "Great One"!

    Today I was helping a friend of mine move some heavier/bulkier stuff around in their home and afterwards we decided to go for lunch. Before food, however, we headed into a local card store that is a few blocks away from his house. I picked up 8 loose packs of 2013-14 Fleer Showcase hoping maybe...

    A Museum Addition Obtained Directly from the Athlete Who Used It!

    I agree! By far my favorite memories made during the course of this whole museum/history preservation adventure has been the deals I have made and the interactions I have had with both current and former NHL goalies. Growing up as a hockey fan kid, I never thought it would be possible to...

    A Museum Addition Obtained Directly from the Athlete Who Used It!

    Our company traded his 2019-20 Toronto Maple Leafs pre-season worn jersey back to him in exchange for the glove and blocker set.

    A Museum Addition Obtained Directly from the Athlete Who Used It!

    NEW PIECE ALERT! We love getting new items in our museum, whether it be from a private collector, an auction, or a team sale. By far our favorite way to add a new item to the museum is through a trade or direct deal with the athlete who used the item, as is the case with our newest “Piece of...

    Question; Ex 2000 Connor Bedard Autographics???

    While not disclosed in sell sheets or in the Beckett checklist for it, could it be a possibility that Upper Deck was withholding the Bedard Autographics cards to be an epack exclusive? Like you said, even if it was a short print or super short print, some collector somewhere would have posted...

    A Huge Piece Harpooned for the "Szuper Collection"

    NEW PIECE ALERT! It is no secret that up there with Arturs Irbe, my other favorite hockey player of all-time is Levente Szuper. Being the first Hungarian born and raised player to ever make it onto an NHL roster is a huge accomplishment and as a dual Canadian-Hungarian citizen myself, I...

    Anyone have any idea how the new tariff war will affect cross border sales??

    Not at all and I guess what I wrote could be seen quite high-level and "general", if you will. To specify, the particular items our company buys are game worn jerseys, gloves, blockers, and pads that nearly 100% of the time clearly have "Made in Canada" labels within them (regardless of what...

    Anyone have any idea how the new tariff war will affect cross border sales??

    This! I have been indicating that items going to the USA are "Made in USA" or "Printed in USA" and so far, no tariffs have been charged for buyers on those items. I have also asked sellers to indicate "Made in Canada" on the customs form when coming north across the border and same thing, no...

    An Item From This Goalie's ONLY NHL Game? Count Me In!

    Thank you, I agree! Gamers used by goalies in their only NHL game are always among my highest priority adds to the museum. It isn't particularly frequent in the NHL. While removal and replacement of nameplates to recycle jerseys is quite common and has been since the nameplate became a thing...

    An Item From This Goalie's ONLY NHL Game? Count Me In!

    NEW PIECE ALERT! Our first ever San Jose Sharks jersey to grace our museum archives at Heroes of the Crease: Goaltending Museum and Memorabilia Ltd. is here and it is awesome! This also represents the 245th (and kind of the 246th) goalie in our collection of history. What you are looking at...

    Never Ending Random Card Of The Day Thread

    I have to agree. I look forward to seeing some of the others you've got. I can match for three more at least since I own all four of the Superbox 1/1 redemptions made of Arturs Irbe. Those are among the final 20-30 cards of Irbe that I still have which I wanted to keep for my collection forever.
