That said, definitely don't need to be a dick about it like that.

Not a hockey autograph, but I've been a wrestling fan for a long time and Bret Hart was my boyhood hero...sent this Funko PoP! box to his address in Canada with $20 for postage and he graciously signed my box <3
What a stud and had to share

Anyone going to the Philly Show next week? I'll be there Friday wheeling and dealing!

Wish I could. Definitely need to get to a show.
The National in AC may be my first if nothing pops up before then.

12 pack lot of 2001-02 In the Game Signature Series (cost: $90 before shipping and taxes)
Had a lot of fun with this- did it yield $90 in sheer value, no, but it did yield some nice names of yester year, and to me, 12 autos for $90 (plus a trip down memory lane) is an alright price to pay in this card market, especially considering most of these guys played over a decade in the NHL.

Those are awesome. I'll have to look into buying some. Mind sharing where the packs were from?
This is my haul from the Philly Show last week. Nothing crazy. The Shaq and Tatis Jr. I got in a trade (traded all my Wentz stuff, a bunch of minor JJAW stuff and stuff like that, and a Carter Hart patch/auto). The Hart was really the only thing of value to me but I have others. Definitely didn't get the best value but I had been trying to sell the Wentz stuff for a while along with the minor stuff with no takers.
The photo on the right is Pedro Sierra, Jr., one of the last surviving Negro Leagues players. He was there signing and I got there early and talked to him gor a little bit. Cool stories and a nice guy.

If you have $90 to blow, it's a good buy. But I have to admit, watching a few pack breaks of these in the last 20 minutes has made me turned off to getting any packs.
Usually it's a lot of "Meh" and maybe 1 top 2000s star. I did pop for the guy I saw who got a Joe Sakic auto...brought up the feeling of when he was a total stud.

Pull from a box of Allure yesterday
They had it at one of my local shops for $95 (it's about $140 online).

I gotta get back to watching your YouTube channel. After your first two videos, you got comfortable and caught your strive.

Just back from SGC. No 10's but can't complain at all. Have had great experiences with them.

Back to doing ttm. Instead of trading cards or photos I'm sending out custom cards. Made and sent out about 20 in the last week and a half and already got my first one back, Talyn Boyko, c/o the Tri City Americans in just 10 days. Ignore the pathetic cutting job I did 
As I've been doing for a while I'm primarily targeting CHL and USHL players (both recent draftees and upcoming eligibles), AHL players and a few coaches. Without Canadian postage though I'm pretty much limited to the American CHL teams.

Is this printed on paper? These could really pop if you use card stock, or even photo paper.

It's a cardstock paper. I made these all on Google Slides, which I'm still pretty new to, and saved them as PNGs first, which resulted in them coming out blurry. By that point it had been a big long process just to get 10 cards printed and I really didn't feel like redoing it all, so I sent them as is. Printed the second batch on my usual photo matte paper (which I hadn't had when I printed round one), straight from the slides, and they look much better.

@Lord Defect Here's one from the second batch that I haven't mailed out yet. They look much cleaner and clearer now.

Very nice man.
Just spitballing but do these fit in picture sleeves for photo binders? It’ll be a nice way to store them.
Wait, do they still sell those?
I know I used art portfolio books to hold and carry my 11x17 posters when the wife and I went to conventions.

I am indeed keeping them in sleeves in a binder.
