Verified Trader,
With the Caps-Flyers playing in the background, I decided to look at completed eBay sales for active goaltenders and get a range of both price and activity for them. eBay's completed sales go back 3 months. <50 transactions was rated as Low activity, 50-100 Moderate, and anything over 100 as Heavy. All prices are in USD, with ranges based off of most recent sales (usually 20-30, when available). I won't comment on every card, but I do have thoughts. Columns are as follows:
Player Lo Hi Activity Year
Keep in mind that some Young Guns are part of the updates (like Shesterkin, Georgiev, Murray, DeSmith and Korpisalo), and that some sets have greater and lesser print runs. Outliers exist for these ranges, but I tended to drop extreme highs and lows.
Marc-Andre Fleury 250 500 Low 2003
Fleury is one of the few goaltenders that has significant grading done, so the remaining ungraded cards out there are of varying quality, thus the potential range. Fleury's prices were highest when he was on that streak earlier this year.
Carey Price 240 325 Moderate 2007
Andrey Vasilevskiy 125 150 Low 2014
Not a lot of activity on Vasilevskiy, as he's part of that harder to find 2014-15 second series. Those who do have him are holding on to him. Pretty wise, as he could be the dominant goaltender of the decade.
Jack Campbell 60 100 Heavy 2013
Here's the hot goalie theory in action. Compound that with him playing in Toronto, and we have a crazy irrational spike. He jumped from the $8-$20 range at the start of this period to a peak of $130. He could rapidly return to reality.
Igor Shesterkin 50 90 Heavy 2019
Jordan Binnington 60 85 Low 2014
Henrik Lundqvist 55 80 Moderate 2005
Carter Hart 55 75 Heavy 2018
Despite a brutal season, collectors are standing by Carter. So far.
Tuukka Rask 50 70 Moderate 2007
David Ayres 30 50 Heavy 2019
Though not an active goaltender, Ayres' novelty card remains in high demand. Value is up from 90 days ago, when he could be had for $20 to $30. Supply is rather limited at the moment.
Fredrik Andersen 25 45 Low 2013
Thatcher Demko 30 40 Heavy 2016
Cayden Primeau 25 40 Heavy 2019
Paying for potential in Montreal.
Matt Murray 20 40 Low 2015
Philip Grubauer 20 40 Moderate 2013
Ilya Sorokin 25 30 Heavy 2020
Ryan Miller 20 30 Low 2002
Ryan Miller is 14th all time in wins and top 20 in games played. Success is no guarantee of value, but it should make anyone think twice about spending $30 on a rookie. Very few will have careers matching Miller's.
John Gibson 15 30 Low 2013
Alex Nedeljkovic 15 30 Moderate 2017
Despite a spectacular season, few believers. Still, worth more than many established keepers at the moment.
Kevin Lankinen 15 30 Heavy 2020
Braden Holtby 15 30 Low 2009
Mackenzie Blackwood 15 25 Heavy 2018
My 2 cents? I'd rather buy Blackwood than Lankinen, Sorokin, or Demko.
Alex Georgiev 15 25 Moderate 2017
Casey DeSmith 15 25 Moderate 2017
Robin Lehner 15 25 Low 2010
Kaapo Kahkonen 12 25 Heavy 2019
Semyon Varlamov 12 25 Moderate 2008
Ilya Samsonov 12 25 Heavy 2018
Connor Hellebuyck 12 25 Heavy 2015
The defending Vezina winner is handicapped by being part of the 2015-16 Series 1 set, which was heavily produced. But it hasn't hurt McDavid, and more and more, Panarin and Rantanen are pulling away.
Dan Vladar 12 20 Heavy 2018
Rask won't play forever, but if you're looking for the heir apparent, Jeremy Swayman has the inside track.
Joonas Korpisalo 12 20 Low 2015
Elvis Merzlikins 12 20 Heavy 2019
Ben Bishop 12 20 Low 2008
Tristan Jarry 12 20 Heavy 2016
Jaroslav Halak 10 20 Moderate 2007
Jake Allen 10 20 Moderate 2012
Sergei Bobrovsky 10 20 Moderate 2010
Two time Vezina winner here available for peanuts.
Petr Mrazek 10 20 Moderate 2013
Jake Oettinger 10 20 Heavy 2020
James Reimer 8 15 Low 2009
Cal Petersen 8 15 Heavy 2018
Devan Dubnyk 8 15 Low 2009
Vitek Vanecek 8 15 Heavy 2020
