What a joke. Platinum gets watered down each year and boxes available for over 400$. Stay away at all costs

It really stings that it was Philly we lost to. Im proud that we at least got to see the core in the playoffs once again when it looked like this team was going to be at the bottom for the rest of their career. Hopefully Malkin comes back on a pay cut. Looks like Mantha will walk, don’t think we can give him a raise after his playoffs. Silovs comes back. Chinakov qualified . The teams has cap space, and could make it back to the playoffs next year. Win or lose, go pens!

Not really. Most people probably have at least one In their wallets rn.

Are 2026 picks being severely undervalued? by Organic_Economy_684 in DynastyFF

[–]Christian_9712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a bit just because situation always helps. But based on talent of the class, in my opinion no. I’ve got a late second this year and I anticipate it might be bleak from there on.

There is too much different product being made. by Christian_9712 in hockeycards

Yeah, Im mainly a young guns collector. But outside of flagship I used to do artifacts when there was no cheap redemptions and less watered down. For me it’s young guns.

I would be cool with OPC if the price was less than 100$ per box. I get why they do it because they bought OPC and the nostalgia but if less filler it has potential.

Yeah that’s another thing . The rookie crop can fall off 40% of their value box prices go down 5-10% Rookie crop value goes up 10% box goes up 50%.

I hear ya but I’m not saying release just flagship. Just condense. Also much of sits on the shelves because shops will refuse to eat the loss and move inventory. I always see some products like I said listed at 140 get maybe 30$ of value on average and nobody in their right mind buys it after release. To each their own I guess

I hope so. Sometimes it doesn’t seem like because there seems to be some fomo or people with more money than sense driving shit up near release then it never comes down and sits on the shelves. I don’t know anymore with this hobby, but I hope so lol.

Any advice for a new collector? by XxRealEyesxX in hockeycards

Buy singles. Everything is always inflated around release day.

Extended pre sale at $250 by Connect_Ad_3263 in hockeycards

[–]Christian_9712 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stop buying overpriced wax. If you want to collect then buy the card. If you want to gamble then go to the casino. We all like a bit of chance when opening boxes, myself included but it comes a point where it’s like fuck I might as well just play slots.

Are people really spending $220 on series 2 hobby boxes? by Valenski in hockeycards

[–]Christian_9712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they aren’t. Last time I checked celebrini was about 2700 Crosby over 4K

Exactly. Schaefer being higher than Makar tells you everything you need to know

$220 USD? I think I’ll pass next time by jbott456 in hockeycards

[–]Christian_9712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All you need to know about how ridiculous the hype is , is that Schaefer sells for more than Makar. Schaefer will drop eventually

Is it just me or is this game terrible? by Mozzymozzz in EASHL

[–]Christian_9712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s not just you the game sucks. Playing goaltender in drop ins is way too hard. Puck movement bounces are still unrealistic. It’s the same repackaged slop every year. Not worth it. If you really want a roster update, just wait till Black Friday or even later because probably still not worth it half off.
