    Players that did screwy Inscriptions

    Hey guys, I know we all love our inscription based auto sets (well I do anyway.) We've seen our share of players missing the boat and not including anything when they were supposed to, but has anybody else gone the other way and put up a bunch of hilarious inscriptions on their card? I don't...

    05-06 SPGU Auto Draft Set

    I remember when I started coming to forums in general, there were a bunch of people trying to build the Auto Draft set. This is probably my favorite modern auto set of all time. There were some pretty crazy cards in the set as I recall (like that Gaborik /3) and I'd wager nobody actually...

    RIP Matthew Wuest

    The name may or may not sound familiar, but he's arguably had one of the most influential contributions to the game of hockey in the salary cap era. He was the founder of CapGeek, the website we lived and breathed our salary cap numbers from for so many years. He lost his battle with cancer...

    International Ice Wax

    Hey guys How rare is this stuff? I saw a box at a local store and hadn't seen one in...oh...7 years? Made me double take for a moment, and now I boxes have $800-900 price tags on eBay? Are these people for real or is that really the going rate? The store wanted around $500 (taxes in) and...

    UFC 182: Jones vs. Cormier

    Good little card this weekend. My dude Cody Garbrandt makes his UFC debut on Saturday, so I'm pretty stoked about that. Cody's a really good dude, and we had him on Beards on MMA last year before we wrapped up the show (although we're coming back in 2015!) where he proceeded to tell us some of...

    How far does your player collection stretch?

    We've talked about cards, jerseys, McFarlanes and things...but how far would you go to reach 100% completion? Would you buy...these? http://www.bestbuy.ca/Search/SearchResults.aspx?type=product&page=1&sortBy=relevance&sortDir=desc&query=OYO+NHL Reason I bring this up is because I've been...

    Weird things fans hold against their teams?

    When things start to go wrong, obviously fingers get points at franchise management, players, etc etc. I hear some weird things that the sports radio guys in this city complain about from time to time, but there are a few that always rise to the top. My favorite is the continued insistence not...

    My disappearing act comes to an end

    Hi guys, I've been absent here for the better part of the last month so I wanted to come by and say hello again. On March 11th, my wife went in for her 36 week ultrasound, and was told at that point she was 2 cm dilated and could be candidate for early delivery :whatthehell: She started...

    Panini Dominion question

    We were sitting at the card show the other day talking about this and there wasn't 100% certainty, so I thought I'd pose here - Was Dominion this year hand packed? I thought it was, but some of the other guys thought it wasn't.

    Shane Del Rosario in Critical Condition

    There's basically nobody (Matt Grice aside) that I feel sorry for in MMA right now more than Shane Del Rosario. The guy goes undefeated to open his career and is projected to be a huge force in the Heavyweight Division. His career gets sidetracked after he was hit by a drunk driver. In fact...

    You learn something every day...I guess?

    Check this out...this is baseball-related, but a general followup question http://www.ebay.com/itm/Reggie-Jackson-Auto-1990-Upper-Deck-Baseball-Heroes-As-Yankees-Angels-Os-/131022890868?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item1e8192a774 That's the Reggie Jackson auto that was inserted into packs of '90 UD...

    1 Case of UFC Finest - Best Case Ever!

    UFC Finest has been my favorite set year in, year out since it released a couple years back. I've always busted a few boxes, but never touched cases. I've only ever busted one case anyway, which was a 20 boxer of Between the Pipes about 3 1/2 years ago. Still, I figured I'd be doing a box or...

    2 icy boxes of Topps UFC Finest

    I've broken the majority of one case which I need to sort and then I'll post but I guess Last in First Out...I started on the 2nd case I ordered Wednesday Night, and busted 2 boxes. The first box was ice cold. Terrible box. Not as bad as the box I busted that featured Bryan Caraway and Max...

    Print runs you've accidentally decreased

    I thought this might be an interesting topic to get into since we all have our stories but we've never pooled them together. Have you ever accidentally decreased a serial numbered print run? That is - Something happened with it like it disappeared into the mail system or did something arrive...

    Traditional Langley/Vancouver Fanfest Breakfast

    Well, we know that the breakfast this year will probably take place between 8 AM and whatever time the Bure signing ends if Randy is coming :duh: Same location, same time? It would be: Saturday, November 2nd at 8 AM at Ricky's - Is it the 204th Street location in Langley that we go to? Derek...

    Expectations for sticker autographs

    Hey guys, Was sitting here pouring through a few Artifacts listings and box breaks, and noticed that Patrick O'Sullivan is in this year's Autofacts set. :whatthehell: Thing is, he hasn't played in the NHL now for nearly 2 years and hasn't played pro hockey now in almost a full year. While I...

    Two pickups many years in the making

    I know I'm going to jinx myself because this isn't in hand yet, but those of you that know me know just how long I've been waiting for this card to surface...and I paid this (reputable I might add) seller a lot more than "better" players sell for...so there's no chance I could get stiffed on...

    Zack Kassian suspended for rest of pre-season / 5 games of regular season

    http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=432588 Thoughts? I feel it's justified. Some people on my Twitter timeline don't agree and think Shanahan's out of his mind.

    2 FX prelim boxes of 2013 UFC Finest - Kiss my Bones!

    I have a couple cases of Finest (the main event to this FX Prelim) on their way to me by end of month, but I haven't decided whether I want to bust both or bust one and sell the other. While in this state of perpetual unknown, I'm a sucker for Finest, and couldn't wait, so I grabbed a couple...
