I've been slowly selling my collection in the past weeks/months. I've sold a lot on ebay. So obviously, I need stamps. a lot of stamps.
At the post office, I always see this box of hockey stamps and they look like a regular hockey cards. I always ignored it, thinking it was for regular letters, while I need 1.80$. While waiting for the clerk, I decided to check and I realized they were 1.80$ stamps and not more expensive than regular stamps. I thought, what the hell, it's gonna be cool for my buyers to receive a card with a pretty hockey stamp so I bought two packs.

First pack got me satisfied. You have Crosby, Yzerman, Messier, Sittler, Esposito and Lafleur. Pretty cool stamps.

I opened the second pack and the first card that jumps on me is this.

In all my life as a collector, I NEVER pulled a Gretzky auto nor jersey. I NEVER puller a Crosby auto and only once a jersey. And now, as I'm trying to sell my collection, they send me this "card".

I thought, WTH, I'm selling this on ebay, thinking I could maybe get 50$. Then I realize there is no similar card. The Sittler is selling at 80$, the Messier at more than 100$... finally, I find one card, far away in the list, and the guy was asking for 1500$. Completing my research on google to find out it actually sold for 800$.

so, in conclusion??? yeah, I'll sell it.. lol It won't go on an enveloppe. lol
