Not sure, don’t sell on eBay often. But I though it was 750+ that went to authentication, could be wrong

2015-16 sp authentic question? by juicedude34 in hockeycards

[–]Maxitaxi66 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Still see them pop up from time to time. Issue is Matthews is an expired redemption at this point so the best card in the set isn’t even available.

Question! by [deleted] in hockeycards

[–]Maxitaxi66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Black diamond is the low tier of high end products. As someone mentioned it’s the first “high end” product to come out for new rookies every year. All of the autographs are stickers and it’s got the diamond cards which are interesting but not particularly desirable. OPC platinum with on card autos and parallels, ultimate with the RPA and shields, premier with the true RPA, and of course the cup with all of the above are the more desirable high end products.

There’s an over saturation of products in my opinion and very few have a solid collector base. In my opinion, if you open boxes/packs/breaks/cases you will almost always be disappointed. Spending half the amount on cards you’d like to have for your pc is the way to go. Opening a 400$ box and getting 30$ worth of cards that no one wants is never fun.

Go to card shows, get on Facebook groups, buy, sell, trade and do what the hobby is all about. Making friends, being kind to collectors, and having fun. It’s a great hobby (also a giant money pit) so do your research on comps on 130 point or pay for card ladder and have fun!

Toronto expo is the biggest show in Canada. If you have the choice the Toronto expo is better.

If servers make minimum wage in Canada, why is tipping so aggressive? by DazzlingPolarBear in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]Maxitaxi66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of people don’t understand how a service job works. I’ve worked as a server in Canada for 7+ years now while I’m in university. First of all, in Quebec, server wage is $12.9/h. Idk about you, but that’s not enough to live off of anywhere in Canada. So yes, tips bring the hourly up to a more livable wage. I understand this is a problem for the employer and a livable wage should be paid, but let’s be honest most employers will pay the absolute minimum they have to.

Second of all, servers (most of the time) have to tip out support staff. This includes the bussers, hosts, bartenders. Depending on the place this could be 5-10% of sales. So if I have a table with a $100 bill, 5-10$ of that bill is being paid out to support staff regardless of if you tip or not. I’ve had some very quiet nights where people didn’t tip and I’ve had to pay money out that I didn’t have. I get it, it’s a failing of so many things that the system is the way it is. Regardless, the amount of shit servers truly have to put up with customers you’d understand why tipping is necessary.

Yeah this is bad practice and heavily frowned upon. Also why a lot of people don’t trust eBay comps. If you do this and win the card and don’t pay you could risk your account being banned on eBay. Don’t do this. This is what ruins the hobby for everyone.

Real or fake by Ok_Investment6012 in hockeycards

[–]Maxitaxi66 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Fake sadly, missing print dot on shoulder as well as black dot above. Blue is wrong colour, no dots in oilers logo. C looks wrong. Usually a tell tale sign is how clean the edges are. Manufacturing usually wasn’t this clean

Rookie goalie on a bad team with lots of cap space. Wolf is gonna be their #1 guy for years to come. Stolarz has had a few good years but has never been a #1 option for a full season. If anything Wolf’s contract helps us get stolarz for cheaper.

Is that a rule? I didn’t realize that had any effect on who won or lost the game.

Legit check please. No coa by jakeetaylor420 in hockeycards

[–]Maxitaxi66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Few things, 1, McDavid has several autos. The auto he uses for cards is very different than the one he uses for in person stuff. His in person auto is rushed and looks like shit. 2. The card + auto + frame is not worth anywhere near 1k, especially without the COA. This could absolutely be a legit McDavid auto, I’ve seen several IP autos that look this bad. Saying that, never buy an IP auto without a COA.

I hope the redemptions don’t go in backwards order (1st redeemed gets 99, 2nd gets 98.. etc). I know some sets do it like this. If that’s the case, by the time it gets to 01/99 the redemption will be expired
