There are some great young stars in the game today who i love watching,(Nash, Datsyuk, Raycroft) but with the impending lockout and the decline in popularity here in the US is hockey a good investment?

    Vintage will always have a following - newer cards are always a crap shoot.

    Agreed.

    And if (God forbid) there is a strike that wipes out an entire season, look out! Hard enough for anybody currently playing to catch some of the all time greats in goals, assists, etc. as it is, but a strike could clobber some card values.

    You can't go wrong, I think, buying hi-end hockey that dates before 1968. As far as the newer stuff goes, I wouldn't touch anything that isn't at least 3 years old.

    No newer cards are a good investment.
    If you buy new to make something back, always sell right away. There will always be something else to attract attention the next day.
    If any cards are a good investment (and that's a big chance) it's vintage.

    While were on this topic.
    Would anyone agree that Roberto Luongo is the next big thing to Brodeur?
    I've been picking up some his Black Diamond RC's and even thought about buying some high grade Zenith RC's.

    As far as modern hockey cards being a good investment....
    My 1998 UD SPA Power Shift Vincent Lecavalier PSA 10 is currently $6 on Ebay. Forgive the spam just proving a point.

    I agree that Luongo's cards are probably undervalued. The problem is that he plays in Fla., although that could change when he looks to sign his second contract.

    I wouldn't buy anything modern until the current labor situation is resolved (one way or another). If there's a lock-out, you should be able to pick up some sensational deals this time next year.

    And dump any Forsberg cards you have while you still can.

    How about a Rick Nash Pacific Exclusive AUTO RC? I'm thinking of picking one up, since it's cheaper in BV than SP Authentic! What price would be about right?
