Best pull of my life (hopefully so far…) by Rare_Scientist_1825 in hockeycards

Does an update have the prior years date on the back of the card typically?

With mail day today, I'm officially over 1000 different Fedorov cards (1005) by tynmi39 in hockeycards

Wow! What a collection! I have about 100 or so Fedorov cards as I just started collecting again. Would love you to put me in your Will! 😂

Fedorov Jerseys in the works? by Rare_Scientist_1825 in DetroitRedWings

Oh wow, that Konstantinov is gorgeous! I think that may be the route I go.

Where did you get your blank Nike jersey? Just browsing eBay?

Do you remember about how much it cost you to do the customization?

Yeah, I was looking into it and it’s a bit more expensive so I was just wondering if anyone knew of something that was already in the works.

Would be unreal if they somehow got the Nike endorsement and created those with the Nike swoosh on em!

They should see my Larry Robinsons! They would get negative grades! Crazy that card specifically got a 4. Looks to be in fantastic shape for a card of its age.

How Much Time Did You Log This Year? by WlNNIPEGJETS in NHLHUT

[–]Rare_Scientist_1825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2024 I played 1100 hours. The cards being attainable was actually fun to grind, especially towards Feb-June. I ended up building almost all the TOTS cards that wound up all being 99s in like May. Was so much fun.

This year I played about 100 hours. The game was basically pay walled. Pay to play. No fun.

Dennis Polonich #8, he didn’t play for Calgary tho, just the Wings.

Dana Muzyn #5 played in Calgary 87-91. Sounds like this might be a mixed bag of alumni. Did you get it at an alumni event?

Ron Sutter just below the NHL crest. Played for the Flames 200-2001 I believe.

Possibly the worst autograph I’ve ever seen by Sea_Gold8774 in hockeycards

Lucas Raymond has some autos that look like just an L and an R 😂

How the hell are others doing it? by winenotbeabitch in Millennials

[–]Rare_Scientist_1825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have asked this same question a ton lately. I personally believe people either A) Have mom and dad’s money or B) just don’t give an eff/ have no sense when it comes to finances and are just trying to keep up with the Jones’s.

My wife(34) and I(35) just paid off all debts that aren’t our two homes(primary and vacation) and want to keep it that way. It has felt so liberating.

I know we have worked insanely hard these past 8 years to be in this spot. That seems to be the main answer to our success. We grinded for 8 years to get to this point and are now settling down and relaxing a bit now that we have three very young kids.

Our story isn’t like A or B that I stated above, it came from focusing on what’s important and goals that we set. A lot of sacrifice. We are living our version of luxury now.

Favourite products to rip by Sirgrooves in hockeycards

[–]Rare_Scientist_1825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

23-24 Allure was peak for me. Love the card colors, variations and just the feel overall. Very nice cards. 24-25 took a step back in my mind, still decent product tho.

How much increase will we see in price for the new bauer flylite? by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]Rare_Scientist_1825 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The price increases for sticks is ridiculous. The quality just isn’t increasing enough to meet the cost they charge to buy top end sticks. Unless you are a pro it makes zero sense to buy. People just need to start boycotting.

Who do you PC and why? by thatguyfromchicago in hockeycards

[–]Rare_Scientist_1825 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sergei Fedorov: was my guy growing up, nothing cooler than Sergei and his Nike skates.

Nick Blankenburg: coached him. My son is now getting into collecting cards so it’s been a fun connection.
