    People who buy hockey are collectors. People who buy anything -ball are always flippin'.

    Nice cards guys!

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

    Great cards guys!!!

    I love this thread and I'm going to talk my brother into giving me back all the hockey cards I traded him. image

    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? image 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:

    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.

    Thanks guys!

    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.
