Hobby questions

Yep. It’s crazy how almost an identical package can cost disgustingly more. Really doesn’t make any sense. But anyway. Also, my wife’s folks live in your neck of the woods...Wentzville, but pretty close to Lake St. Louis. Haha

Doesn’t get much closer than that. Small world!

I use a size #000 bubble mailer. Does that qualify as a large envelope?

It’s more the thickness that matters. The package I sent was an 8x10 bubble mailer and it still qualified as a large envelope because it was <3/4 in thick.

I've been using the large envelope method for the last few months with no problems. I have even had some packages that were over 3/4 inch but I print and package everything at home so the first time one of my packages has any human interaction is at Canadian customs.

I really don't think the standard postal employee on either side of the border cares about the thickness of an envelope or going through the process of returning a package that they could just send on its way.

I have no idea what its like to send out a package using this method in person at the post office and I wouldn't wish that experience on my worst enemy.
 
Off topic a little bit but I just wanted to thank all of you on this thread for responding to all my questions. I apologize if I am annoying but I am just trying the learn the best I can. Thanks

That’s a big reason why forums like this exist, so collectors can learn from each other. I think if you just took a look around (especially in this section), you’ll notice people are frequently asking for thoughts and opinions about things.
 
I live in the Philadelphia region so to all my Canadian friends-- can you give me a list of the best Canadian hockey card shops that do new release videos on Facebook or YouTube? Or really, any of the shops up there that have decent websites?
 
For this years SPA, are the retro FW autos worth the same as the regular Future Watch cards? Or more?
To me, the FWAs /999 should absolutely be worth more, as they are a true rookie card, whereas the retro FWAs are basically just a rookie-year insert that are nowhere near as desirable.
 
I think given Premier's lower price point last year and presumably again this year, it's the easy choice. Yeah, Ultimate has bigger potential, but I think Premier is way safer.
