86Viking Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I wonder if there is a good place to sell your hockey cards? My dad has lots of old ones from the 70's, I have a bunch also. They need to be displayed, keeping them in sleeves in a binder is just a shame. I guess I should be still getting cards to try get some rookie cards of the new elite in the NHL. But never think about it I guess. Does Mcdonalds still do a hockey card thing? I got a supposed autographed Gretzky puck from McDonalds as a prize back in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some pretty cool old hockey cards from the 60s given to me from my uncle. Got a bunch of 60s Marvel comics as well from him. Sadly, they all went the way of the local landfill during one of my mom’s annual spring cleanings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have experience selling cards, however, if you want to sell your cards I would suggest looking for a local card shop to sell them to, or if that won't work out maybe look into selling them on eBay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I used to collect Todd Bertuzzi cards. Probably had about 30 or 40 different ones of him, but none particularly valuable I suspect. Also had a good number of Naslund and B-Mo cards as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is including guys like Lemieux and etc. Condition aside which in most cases I would consider "good", there were too many that were produced (1 of 500, for example) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cards were late 70’s until I was was about 16, which was 1990. The cards my generation had were the eventual HHOF rookie cards, mainly. When you look at the top 50 of all-time stats, it’s predominantly that group of players. I wonder if that coincides with card value? We mainly used them as throwing cards lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it grades 9.0 or higher, it'd be worth a few grand easily. The borders are really well centred on that card! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say early to mid 2000s is where card values began to climb due to scarcity. RCs all began being printed in limited numbers. Crosby RCs can fetch anywhere in the hundreds to the thousands of dollars. Edited March 5, 2019 by HKSR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberts Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) I just received my Connor McDavid Young Guns rookie card back from Beckett! It scored an total of 9.5 which is fantastic! Surface got a 10! Beckett told me 10's on surfaces are very rare to happen! Edited March 6, 2019 by Roberts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberts Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 There was a small piece of grass or fiber of some sort stuck inside the case and it was touching the card a little bit as well, so Beckett told me they would let me send it back in (for free) and they would fix it, re-case it, and even let me send a second card in with it to be graded for free as well, so I sent in my Mikko Rantanen UD Exlusives Young Guns 002/100 card I showed in my original post to be graded.

luckylager Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) I have thousands of cards. Mostly hockey, baseball, basketball, but a few random boxing, football and soccer cards. My Uncle is a collector, he gave me a stack of cards when was little and I used them like any kid would - to throw and use as spoke stokes... Except for the Kurri and Coffey rookie cards I sold as a teen. Dumb. In 85 or 86 I actually started "collecting", not wrecking. I still have this awesome Opeechee NHL sticker book, complete, from 86. The paper is beat up now, but the stickers are pretty cool to look at with my son. Does anyone remember the mini cards? I've got a Luc Robatille rookie (mini)! The thousands of cards are all from 86-92. Bunch of complete sets and lots of great rookie cards from the major sports of that era. Anyways, my Uncle was downsizing a couple years back and gave my son a huge chunk of his collection, including (his seconds, less mint) complete '79, '80 and '81Opeechee hockey sets and a moving box full of random, awesome cards through the ages... Amazing stuff in there. I should take some pics one day. Edited March 15, 2019 by luckylager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
