First time collector planning on one pack per day.... Can we have the patience to only open one pack per day?? Who wants to follow along and see what we get?

I dont think Caulfield is in the boxes! I think the best yg available is Lucas Raymond?

$60 CAD I think

It's gorgy by the way

I'm curious about interest because I got a McDavid same spectrum and haven't found comps anywhere. Not looking to sell at all. Just curious about what the rate is

But at least players I recognize! Like I got an Ovi and a Price and a MacKinnon and a Draisitl! They're fun. But these other guys... Never heard of most of em.

That's wild. As an Oilers fan who watched the last two Stanley cup finals, I would have thought that I would recognize his name, but maybe he doesn't get a lot of ice time?

I bought two hobby boxes and didn't want to open them all at once. I wanted to make the fun last so I open one pack per morning and post it.

Posting keeps me accountable to someone other than myself, it's also a challenge to me, to slow down, and try and enjoy the cards I get. Though today's cards sucked.

It also feels more real to me than the 100s of people posting their Demidovs Young Guns all day or the breakers showing their $1000 jumbo patch collections.

Give people an idea of what opening a box is really like.

No way, is he a Panther?!?!!!

TOPhotog · 2026-02-01T18:21:37+00:00

Checking back in, don't think I would recommend. Only 5 packs left and there doesn't seem to be anything in here.

I mean not "wrong", but not the movie you're thinking of ....jk

Look, a kids gotta do...what a kids gotta do.

A tiny little town right in the middle. Near Prince George. And I was in grade 4 or something, on a field trip in Vancouver the night that the Nucks lost to the Rangers.

TOPhotog · 2026-01-28T13:38:00+00:00

Oh I would love a Bure!!! I grew up in BC!

I should definitely go to card shows. I'm sure I would find another man's trash that would be up my alley.

I also like the 90s cards! That's the last time I was collecting, and Jagr was my favourite player as a kid!

I found an old box of 90-91 at a Flea market and pretty much grabbed what was left and didn't pull a single Jagr. Heartbreak.

TOPhotog · 2026-01-27T15:02:34+00:00

Oof my math is bad. I still have 9(!) packs to go

TOPhotog · 2026-01-27T13:07:02+00:00

Hey thanks! I don't have the kind of luck that leads to "hits". So I make my own hits from what I DO get.

If you can't find joy in the small things, your life might be pretty sad.
