Old hockey

BuckeyeHockey · July 9, 2004 5:47AM

This is my first post here and just so I get it up front, I collect old hockey cards. Now I consider old hockey cards to be those prior to 1960 ( not cards from the 1990s' as i see in most shows). I have brought several from Ebay and a few from others who have sets registered but was wondering if others have sources to buy cards from. (sorry, I ended the sentence with a verb)

Although new to this chat board, I've been reading it for several months and have enjoyed your postings.

Welcome, fellow Ohioan. There are a few hardcore vintage hockey collectors on this board, so I'm sure you'll be able to help each other out.

Buckeye...welcome from a fellow vintage hockey collector--although I collect early 70s as well.

Jay at Quality Cards has some nice PSA hockey cards at fair prices and I buy my raw cards from Dave's Sportscard's in LA (www.gfg.com). And although I live in Hot South Texas, there is a local dealer who has a good supply of hockey. But I also just surf websites and pick up cards here and there.

Also, there is triplessscards---I think there is a link on the PSA main page--they have nice raw and graded cards. There are several e-bay sellers who sell nice raw cards as well.

Buckeye,

There is a great dealer on E-Bay: old-card-player

I have bought many cards off him (not hockey) and he sells 60's and early 70's hockey from time to time (mostly NM/MT).

Regards,

Greg M.

Welcome, Buckeye. I don't really know of many great sources raw pre-'60s hockey - but for graded stuff I pretty much check out all the usual suspects: AJ Sportscards, Gerry's Sports Cards, Champs and Bums, Mickey's Sportscards, Kris Keppler and Triple sSs Sportscards to name a few.

Then, of course, there's eBay. I haven't bought anything from him in a while, mainly because I already bought almost everything he had that I really needed, but Michel Martel (tiger4444 on eBay) generally has pretty decent stuff. Len Pottie (potts39, I think it is, though that may actually be his son's Steve eBay ID) also seems to have a pretty good reputation.

whoa i didn't even see this thread till now. welcome! what do you collect? i'm into '55 Parkhurst and Quaker Oats cards, vintage rookies, and anything related to Jacques Plante.

btw, i think you ended your sentence with a preposition, not a verb.

Welcome - another hockey collector!!!

Just stay away from the cards I'm buyin

Glad you posted - I'm working on a C55 set, a Parkhurst 63-64 set and kind of working on a 55-56 Parkhurst set (I only have 7 of them). I've got some dups on those sets plus 61-62 Topps hockey. I've found my stuff on eBay and Dave's Vintage cards (www.gfg.com).

ArtRossLives, are you the same Mark i exchanged emails with recently?

BuckeyeHockey · July 11, 2004 11:01PM

Thanks for the replies. Some good information.

jerster, I'll try not to step on any toes!

Kaline fan, I grew up watching and cheering for Kaline. A class guy even by the standards of his time, head and shoulders above current players.

ArtRossLives...my main collections are 1910 C56, 1951 Parkie and 1954 Parkie, but have several years that if I find a good deal, I'll try to buy.

AlanAllen....Let's Go BUCKS!
