top 5 players for value?

[BenDMitchell]

Who would be your top 5 players to collect? Is Crosby still at the top of the list?

Yes, sorry I phrased it wrong. I meant to say who are the hottest and most valuable players to collect these days. Not so much what your personal collection has but in the hobby generally. Hopefully this clears things up.

not sure if you will get the answers you are looking for based on the way you phrased it. everyone collects players for different reasons... personally, Crosby wouldn't make my top 25 players to collect. i think you meant to phrase is something more like "Who are the top 5 most valuable players to collect" ?

my top 5 would be Ryan Miller, Scott Stevens, Vlad Tarasenko, Bernie Federko, and Ray Emery. none of which would likely make a top 5 most valuable players to collect. maybe Tarasenko in a few years...

agreed depends on how your phrase it, for me it would Chris Kreider, Henrik Lundqvist, Mike Richter, Carl Hagelin, Derek Stepan....granted Hank is a heavily collected player but I dont think top 5 necessarily if your looking for value

Couple of guys in the new RC class that I've noticed sell REAL well considering they aren't huge names are Girgensons, Mrazek and Tom Wilson.

I would say top 5 are:

Wayne Gretzky
Sidney Crosby
Steven Stamkos
Carey Price
John Tavares

 

[TheGriceBoys]

Year in and year out I would say:

Gretzky
Howe/Orr (interchangeable it seems every other person you ask)
Roy
Crosby
Whomever is the hot rookie/flavor of the week

Sticking with current players because it's too hard to incorporate legends (Vezina has a pretty strong following!):

Crosby (check out the "Property Of" on eBay right now...)




Stamkos
Toews
Tavares (down a lot since injury!)
Mackinnon (formerly RNH; eventually replaced by Drouin, McDavid, etc)

Howe/Orr (interchangeable it seems every other person you ask)
Roy
Crosby
Whomever is the hot rookie/flavor of the week

Maurice Richard and Ken Dryden are selling for top money too.

 

[StanChad]

Gretzky, Crosby, Lemieux, McDavid, Whoever the current top rookie is (Mackinnon).

 

[Stadium Sports]

Here's what we are seeing at The Stadium (although top 5 to 10 is interchangeable)

Wayne Gretzky
Maurice Richard
Nathan MacKinnon
Bobby Orr
Jonathan Toews

-------------

Sidney Crosby
John Tavares
Patrick Roy
Gordie Howe
Alex Galchenyuk

--------------

MacKinnon & Galchenyuk will be a distant memory next year. Jonathan Bernier and Martin Brodeur can easily move up in the top 10 here.

I'm interested in getting some top notch Cup RC's. What are your top 5 Cup RC's?

I would buy at least 3clr+ Crosby, Ovechkin and Stamkos + other 5clr+ 2005-06 rookies.

Year in and year out I would say:

Gretzky
Howe/Orr (interchangeable it seems every other person you ask)
Roy
Crosby
Whomever is the hot rookie/flavor of the week

This would be my answer as well.
