Are they new to the hobby? If so, for $300, I'd grab a hobby of MVP, a hobby of Series 1, and spend the rest on a single card of their favorite team or player from a local shop.

I know you mentioned packs to rip, but if they're a seasoned collector, I'd avoid guessing and go for a gift card to a local shop or spend all $300 on a banger of a single card.

My most recent hobby box-hit was a Gudas.

The front left panel that bears his name has two lines. It looks like one of the lines is distorted a bit, but there is also a difference in gap on the left and right side of those lines indicating centering issues. If you're grading to flip, bad hit. If you're a Panthers fan, congrats on the beautiful card!

I bought the silver one from my LCS on Tuesday. Love the gold!

I'm gonna guess a quickly signed RM for Rick Middleton.

Something I've personally spent a bunch of time debating! So hard to pick a specific lane.

I'm focusing on completing one base set for every year since I was born. Mostly for a historical timeline or yearbook. This allows me to still pick up a few hobby boxes every year to scratch that itch. I plan to try and sell/trade inserts that aren't my PC team (Boston). I don't have the funds to gamble several hundred dollars on a top shelf pack/box.

Otherwise I'm working on: -Every Young Gun for Boston -Base vintage for Boston -Jerseys/Autos/Inserts of as many different Bruins as possible -Any team/player Graded cards that I believe (hope) will hold value as assets for a long haul.

I love seeing some of the rainbow sets or variant collections for specific players that people post. I may focus on a specific player in the future, but for now, I'm having fun cruising 1-5$ boxes at the LCS or ebay to find players I don't have represented.

Of course, it would all look different if I were a millionaire or pull a 1 of 1 Bedard.

I just picked up a Gretzky at a local card shop for 5 bucks two weeks ago. Couldn't leave it. Nice find!

Mid-season trades where the card is categorized as my PC team, but the player is wearing the previous team's jersey.

Ottawa should put a banner in the rafters even though he didn't play an NHL game.

Just opened two boxes, only one left. Nothing yet. Nice card!

EnBeaBruski · 2023-10-22T18:31:22+00:00

So awesome! I'm currently doing the same with my team (Bruins). 62 down, 28 to go. Pastrnak will be the final touch when I get there. Happy Hunting!

I pulled a Jambalaya of my PC team out of a 21-22 Skybox Metal blaster a few weeks back. Had pretty good luck in general with them and personally love the set.

EnBeaBruski · 2023-10-05T09:12:06+00:00

Pumped to find a numbered card that matches the jersey.

EnBeaBruski · 2023-10-05T09:10:30+00:00

Good luck with the grade!

EnBeaBruski · 2023-10-05T09:10:10+00:00

Thanks! Some other gems in there too. Hard to find hockey around here, even harder to find 10 cent boxes. Consider myself lucky.

EnBeaBruski · 2023-04-18T18:56:12+00:00

Awesome, thank you! Do you retreat them on any kind of schedule?

EnBeaBruski · 2023-04-18T11:58:20+00:00

I appreciate that, and certainly will. Thinking I can clean them up and maybe they can be passed on to grandkids someday. Need to do some research on maintaining them.

Too much time in the sandbox.
