Re: Venturing Back into the Trading Card hobby - questions/discussion
Classic example of the "yes-no-maybe-so" card market right now: Jaromir Jagr Upper Deck Rookie. I've uncovered about 4-6 of these sorting thru my collection. 2-3 are grading candidates based on their storage and condition, definitely a shot at a 10, a shot. Anyways. Here's the "game". Ebay has multiple graded of these… -

From the 90's hockey stars you're referencing, I think we are around the same hobby timeline.

Venturing Back into the Trading Card hobby - questions/discussion
As a child of the 90's my dad went thru collection phase for roughly 5-7 years and purchased all sorts of "junk wax" era hockey, basketball, football, baseball cards. He recently gave me the collection which is sizable enough to keep me busy. The fun of sorting thru the cards has reignited the "hobby" for me and before…
