OT: Autographs/Hockey Cards Thread

[Dicky Dangles]

Would there be an Upper Deck Michkov card available before he actually plays for the Flyers, or are those autographs just for future cards after he plays for the Flyers? I started collecting just Flyers Young Guns cards, but I’d like to get Michkov cards of any kind ASAP.

Not sure. But I did hear Bedard likely is going to be in UD 23 series 2. Mitchkov probably comes later.

He has to play an NHL game before UD can put him in a Flyers jersey on a card.

Lafrenière Upper Deck Young Guns #201 Driving the Rookie Card Market

The Alexis Lafrenière Upper Deck Series 1 Young Guns rookie card #201 is driving the hockey card market early in the 2020-21 NHL season.

For hockey card collectors, all eyes are on the boxscores to see which rookies are making their NHL debuts. When a player makes his debut, he becomes eligible to be in an NHL/NHLPA licensed hockey card product.

They could do something like they did for Shane Wright by removing logos and putting him in their multi-sport products:

0/1 from Leafs prospect Fraser Minten. Card was damaged in transit, though he did write back and offer to sign another if I send it.

Fresh from a pack of SPA.

Pretty nice gesture.

I don’t send fan mail much, but decided to last week and I couldn’t be happier.

Chris Pronger signed 2/2 and personalized them for me. As a massive Pronger fan, this was a huge W.

Is this like an NFT?

Do you get to redeem that for the physical card?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Do you get to redeem that for the physical card?

Yep. Basically you open packs/boxes online and can have things shipped to you at any time. That blue icon in the upper left means it’s available.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

What are you guys paying for packs/boxes of decent stuff. I haven’t collected in about 20 years and still have most of my cards and collectables

I just watch other people open up packs because I don't wanna buy them, hah.

Prices seem to be a little nuts lately...especially with products that will have Bedard RCs in them now.

 

[mize370]

Epack?

yes sir

Is this like an NFT?

No its a pyhsical card

 

[CutOnDime97]

Dug this one out recently, randomly picked it up last year. Love the look of it.

I can’t see his last name without immediately thinking of Danny Rojas. f***ing Ted lasso

Not hockey, but a pretty cool return via the mail... US Women's Soccer legend Brandi Chastain

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Rob Blake via the mail at the the LA Kings address...signed 1/1

I love this old Upper Deck MVP set and am trying to get as many signed as possible. Very glad to have him added.

@Strawberry Fields

I want to buy a box of UD Series 2 hockey (hunt for Bedard)

Where is the best/cheapest spot I should buy from?

When it comes out I'd I usually check www.dacardworld.com for reasonable deals.

Do you pre-order? It looks like this particularly set's value just keeps being raised even during the pre-order

I have never pre-ordered a box before but this is also probably the most hotly sought after box since people actually started collecting cards again so I have no idea how pricing will go. You can also wait for e-pack those prices tend to be pretty stable. I've had better luck with e-pack than physical stuff but that could just be coincidence. Last few years the first packs I bought have had the most sought after YG (Lafrieniere, Beniers, etc.).

I've never used e-packs before...does that mean I can open packs, and have the cards shipped to me? Like all of them?

Help me Obi Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.

Edit: I've opened my first e-pack. Interesante. I do want the physical cards though for autograph purposes. Hmm.
