    NEW SHOW, NEW DATE!! HAMILTON, Ontario, Saturday, March 28th, 9-1

    Hey everyone! I posted this show about a month ago but the date got changed. This is essentially an ESTATE sale, no cards involved ( I will have cards). It is a massive collection of vintage gloves, and hockey sticks, books, posters, figures, jerseys and all kinds of interesting stuff. Andrew...

    One box of the new OPC. Not an Ovy 1 of 1 this time, but still a 1 of 1!

    The entertainment value of these breaks is always worth it. You may not "make your money back", but it takes you back to being a collector, a set builder, and a fan of the shinies....

    What is a 7 piece Quincy called? Weirdly satisfying, even if it is a scrub.

    Through an odd fluke of destiny, I acquired most of the 15-16 OPC run of Goldobins. While I had no interest in the player (neither did the NHL), it seemed wrong to leave this mini-collection incomplete, so I kept an eye out for the auto and the blank back. The final piece, the blank back...

    THE BEST CARD I HAVE EVER PULLED!!!!! And from an $85 box of OPC, of all places! OVY ALERT!!!!

    Hello all. I posted my breaks the other night, but I had saved the box of 24-25 OPC as I was off all weekend. I opened it last night, and as always, it provides great value for the price of the box, and at $85 Canadian, I should have bought more. BUT. Even though the box had enjoyable stuff...

    Expo box breaks; Parkhurst Champions, Juniors, AEW, Leaf, and a UD EXPO pack 1/1!

    Hey all The Expo really isn't my kind of thing anymore, and I said the last one would be the last one, but I haven't missed one since 2000, so that didn't pan out. I walked the whole floor maybe six times, bought zero singles, grabbed 5 boxes, and that was it. Opened the Juniors at the UD booth...

    Had a monster show for Father's Day, treated myself to a box of 2024-25 OPC. Always a fun break.

    Box was priced at $108, seller was willing to do $100 all in, and I couldn't pass that up. Nothing earth shattering, but much lower-numbered cards than I expected!! Orange /25, Green /33.

    My first time wading into the sea of Raffle Redemptions; beware of SHARKS!

    Hello all! At the Expo I bought a retail box of 17-18 Maple Leafs Centennial on a whim. Pretty boring break, compounded by the only hit being an autograph redemption. No indication of who it was supposed to be, but if you know the release, you know that most likely it will be pretty...

    Two hobby boxes of new product, one had me seeing RED.

    I am basically in the "sell only but splurge on a box here and there" category of hobbyist now. As a nice treat, my daughter bought me two boxes of the new stuff. I am completely out of the loop on the new products, but I do know which YGs you want to hit, and that PMGs are still quite...

    eBay's Authenticity Guarantee; as a seller, I can't opt out?!?!?

    I just listed a Panini Anthology 1/1 triple auto, and got an email that it is backed by their Authenticity Guarantee, and if it sells it will be shipped there first!!! No thanks! Scans of the front and back of the card clearly show what it is; I can't find a way to opt out of this process. Is...

    Some hand-completed sets in binders and boxes for sale.

    Hey all! I have a number of complete sets in binders that I am interested in moving. These sets are of the "tougher to build" ilk. I'd be happy to work an in-person deal, ship in binder or out. I'll leave a list below, and if it generates any interest I'll add some more. If you know any...

    How do you price higher end stuff that doesn't list often?

    I am thinking of taking five completed Young Guns sets to the next show. I will have a table, I will be the dealer. BUT, they are older ones, and a few are doozies: 06-07 UD1 10-11 UD1 13-14 UD 1 and 2 14-15 UD1. I see like NONE of these selling recently on eBay, and I am not very educated on...

    Looking to buy/trade for x3 2015-16 YGs in one deal. 451, 461, 499.

    Hey all, just looking to finish this set with one deal. YGs are 451 EICHEL, 461 FUCALE, 499 HANIFIN. Ungraded but in great shape please. All three cards and a price shipped in Canada should be included in your PM. If you want to trade, I'm game!! Thanks for looking, Shaun.

    1 box of 2022 AEW ALLURE. Nice hit if Blue is your colour.

    Loved the way the new Allure hockey looked, and hoped it translated to the wrestling. The base weren't rainbow-y as I hoped, but a fun box regardless. Only 8 packs, and the odds of hitting an auto are rough, so expectations were kept in check. 2023expo6 by Shaun Lindsay, on Flickr Shiny base...

    Thankful I didn't Leaf the Expo with nothing.

    Another Expo has come and gone. I am mostly removed from the "collecting" part of the hobby now. I mostly sell once a month at the local show, and my 250 listings a month on eBay. I crack boxes that I buy at the two Expos, what I get at Christmas, and the odd one if I get the itch. I seldom...

    x1 box 23-24 UD1. Interesting.

    I wasn't going to do one of these, but the YouTube breaks that I skimmed through weren't signaling the end of the world, so I goy in on the fun. A few notes. Love the heavily cropped shots on the base for a better view of the player. LOVE the larger font to the card number on the back. Now...

    RCs, shorter print base, inserts, 2000-2015; so what I did was...

    Hey all. So, what I did was, I took all of these 3200 count boxes and prepared them for the show. I sorted them as follows; 25 cents in soft sleeves, 1 dollar cards in toploaders. Nice and simple. Basically anything a dollar and down is a quarter, and anything five dollars and down is a buck...

    2022 AEW; help me finish my sets via trading!!!
