Sorry for intruding on the hockey card thread, but Dark do you work at a card shop? I'm looking for some Upper Deck SP Authentic and Game Used Golf(I know I know).

Nope, I get all my product from online distributors. Also hahaahahaahha golf. Can we interest you in some pro bull riding cards?

Check out what the auto or 2001-ish Tiger Woods stuff goes for, especially if it's graded. And that's only going to go back up now that he doesn't suck. The Phil Mickelson stuff is nothing to sneeze at either.

As promised, cards mailed today. Again, sorry for the delay. Next break is TBD. I think I am going to be doing a few smaller ones. Maybe not cost wise, but more concentrated products. As much as I am sure everyone would love their 8th copy of Erik Condra's Pinnacle rookie, the sheer mass of cards is daunting both from a shipping cost and sorting standpoint. I still plan to provide good value and quality products though. Stand by for details in the ~near future.

I've started making a few 1/1 special memorabilia/sketch cards (inspired by leaf best of) that can be a part of the next break. They are really terrible good!

Edit: And it's taking all I have not to buy up all the terrible Leaf Best Of Hockey sketch cards. Man some of them are terrible.

I saw that disgusting poo poo. It makes it a lot harder to search ebay for 1/1s and filter it only buy it nows, recently posted to try and pick up poo poo on the cheap because someone was dumb or typoed. Bad enough having someone list the first or last of series as a 1/1, now we have this garbage being technically a 1/1

Got mine in the mail as well! The Gaborik mini-jersey is awesome, and the extras you sent for a first break are incredible. Loving the look of the Pacific cards and having some great flashbacks of my return to the hobby. Thanks!

No probs, glad you like it, make sure to share that Sharks swag with your bro ;)


Also guys, a coworker heard I was in to hockey cards so she brought me her little brother's old collection to appraise/give her whatever money it is worth. Frankly it is all 90s crap highlighted by a Darren Puppa electric ice (no it is NOT for trade) and a Score Gold Line holo of Pierre Turgeron. But the real treasure is not what is in the binder, it IS the binder. Feast your eyes on this:







loving. Awesome.

Posting to you live from my hospital room :toot:

The bad news: I have a loving brain tumor

The not so bad news: It isn't really a brain tumor, it is just a tumor made of other poo poo, living way way too close to my brain.


Basically it is a tumor that is inside my skull, pushed right up against the brain to the point where things are getting mighty crowded. I talked with my neurosurgeon this afternoon and he tells me that worse case scenario I will temporarily lose some function on my right side (like a month). As long as the tumor is the kind he thinks it is and not cancerous. So I guess that is good news. I am not too thrilled with the prospect of them cutting a hole in my skull to get this thing out, but thems the breaks. So yeah, brain tumor, :stare:

Jesus Christ man. So sorry to hear this. Seems like hockey cards just aren't that important at the moment. Keep us posted when you can/if you can. I wish you all the best with recovery, and my thoughts are with you, cat wife, and cat bird. Our hockey card family here isn't the same without you, so hurry your rear end up and get better :)
