Favorite Years of Hockey Cards

I think $5 is a good deal.

I'll try. If I get it, I will send you a half (JK!).

I would love to see this website add a hockey card/memorabilia/autograph forum.

No doubt, becouse it is part of quite a few peoples fandom and that it deepens any such inclinations. It should be said though that other areas of collecting is also a thing and are not to be forgotten. Collecting sticks, jerseys, pins, game programs, tickets, bobbleheads, mcfarlanes, stanley cup rings, world championship authentic medals, in-person and through-the-mail autographs, and god knows what more. Personally i am jealous of the people that collect Maurice Richard and Cyclone Taylor game used stuff, i hope i can do something similar in the future.
I also seem to remember that there might have been such a subforum, but can't seem to find Page 2 after the move of this forum to check the validity of such a claim.

I would love a collector's corner. I've been collecting since 4 years old - jerseys, books, cards, toys, oddballs, figures, magazines, anything hockey. I would enjoy a place to share photos, stories, etc.

Yeah, and maybe brag a bit.
But really i think other members might appreciate seeing them as well.
In your case i find it cool that you collect whatever type of items that fits/comes from your target subject(s). Many people do some kind of autistic thing and virtually despise say game used sticks compared to hockey cards with a piece of a game used stick in them. I have never understood such a philosophy, except of course when such discrimination happens through economic reasons.

I just start by showing off possibly my favorite item in my collection(Earlier posts from me here had cards from the internet or from re-sellers). Only bad thing with this card is that the letter in it comes from a 2005/06 Sabres 'Mad Cow' jersey whilst the player is depicted playing for the Wild. But i guess the color scheme is not too eye sore after all.

And for those that don't like the shredding, here is another of my favourite items:

My most valuable card is a Mint Ken Dryden RC:

Loved the early/mid 80’s O-Pee-Chee.

Some of the airbrush work was absolutely hilarious.

Angry Mel Bridgman: 1983/84 OPC..

1985/86 OPC

1989/90 OPC

I remember when I started collecting, packs back in then were 20-25 cents with a stick of delicious gum. The good old days.

I have a bunch of sets and tons of unopened raw/graded OPC wax and rack packs and boxes from the 80’s.

Would post some pics but not sure how it’s done.

Agreed that it would be nice if there was a forum/sub forum for hockey cards. Would be great.

Are there any fans of the 1991-92 Ultimate Original Six set?

 

[Scintillating10]

The '71 or '72 OPC are my favorites. Both years were great.

1980-1981.

I had thousands, and throwing them against walls in a gambling attempt to get a better card was a huge thing in elementary school. We literally brought cases of cards to school each day to compete.

I had three or four of these (but wanted a Trottier card):

Yes, I remember those card games to. Set up a bunch against the wall and whomever knocked more down got all the cards.

Or if you were able to top your opponents card, you won them. If you got closest to the wall, you won, etc...

Good times.

Not the most tech savvy guy so if I can figure out how to post pictures, I’m gonna put some up here displaying the unopened wax collection I have.

Here are a few items from my collection of unopened hockey wax.

Put me in your will.

I’ll post a few more pics when I get a chance.

When you can get a Dionne, LaFleur, Dryden rookie card and a Howe, Beliveau retirement card ALL IN THE SAME SET............the 1971-72 Opee-Chee is the all time classic for me.

It's also the quintessential 1970s set, what with that font and colour scheme.
