People who buy hockey are collectors. People who buy anything -ball are always flippin'.
I bought the following cards at the National in Chicago. Not too much hockey. I did see a few good cases with raw cards from the 50's and 60's but asking prices were way to high. I think I may crack the Orr out and see if I cannot get an 8.5 out of it. I also posted a pic of an original 6 display case with autographed pucks from: top to bottom Richard, Ullman, Bucyk, Bathgate, Howe, and Hull. I though this would look great in my basement.
Anyone have a spare PSA 7 '70 OPC Perreault lying around that they'd like to sell me? It's the last card I need to complete the 1960 - Pres. hockey HOF rookie card run.
And since we're sharing, this is one of the favs in my collection. Incredibly hard to find above a 7:
"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

Nice pickups for your rookie card collection Matthew. Here's a Topps Gretzky I just got in. It has great centering with no tilt. Just an awesome card. The Lemieux ain't too bad either.
Great day today as I picked up this nice upgrade for my C55 set from Brian aka captainthreeputt - and the best part was we did it while we had lunch and got to visit and talk cards and other important things in life. The best of times - thanks Brian

I have been looking for a Hull as nicely centered as I could for a while. I had to pay a premium for it but think it is worth it. Once I get the card in hand I think I will take a nice hard look at the corners. Being an old flip it may be due for a review. Even if not, it will fit nicely into my collection.

I'm a collector and I'm not flippin', well at least not cards anyway.
Great cards guys!!!

I never thought I would get cards this nice. I really thought I would be happy with a PSA 3 average set. Oh well

45 cards in the basic set with a variation on card #27 so the master set has 46

picked them up for $30 and $20 respectively which I thought was a great deal.

How in the world does that not get the .5 bump?
It looks like a 9 or maybe even a 10
