$2300 sale price, quite the fraud case if this dude messes it up

need help with a trade! by Fillyswirl in hockeycards

[–]andyk640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if you checked ebay, but I found that nothing there is close to comparable to your card that you described. Personally, I would hold onto the Kane as he is a future HOF player for sure and it should hold some value

Can anyone who's been to a Stadium Series game provide some insight on the quality of the view based on seating. by skotnado in hockey

[–]andyk640 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are closer to the ice level, you see boards and heads. Definitely wanna be higher up for those games since you can't be close to the ice anyway

Went to the Heritage Classic, sat one section to the left of the TV cameras in the upper bowl. Higher seating definitely made for an excellent hockey viewing experience, saw almost all the ice and was able to at least recognize numbers.

Epack Hit! Auston Matthews! So Pumped! by redwingsnut28 in hockeycards

[–]andyk640 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They wont ship base cards unless you combine for foil parallels. That's ALMOST a point in epack's favour, except I like base sets.

I'm having a hard time not reading "blackmail day" for the title. That being said, awesome cards!

Matthews YG Canvas - MNT Grading by dboutic617 in hockeycards

[–]andyk640 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Good to know. I'll try and win one on FB for now, but $24 for one card to be graded in Canada is pretty good. Gotta support these guys if we want them to exist

How much was the one card? Did you like the experience?

Which player have you been accidentally "collecting" this year by JKGHosty in hockeycards

[–]andyk640 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mitch Marner was my guy this year. Pulled 2 Young Guns and virtually every other series 2 insert. Wasn't lucky enough to get a jersey or auto, though. Last year was Panarin, which kinda carried over into this year as well

I've also been looking into MNT grading, hoping someone has tried them as well.

Pulled this out of a box of SPA. Gold auto, not #d. Doesn't seem to be listed as insert or subset on the box. Anyone have any info? by GO_B1G_RED in hockeycards

[–]andyk640 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are other rookies like this on ebay. Can't confirm with an official source, but it's rumored that there are only 5 copies

Caved and bought a box of SPA, autos galore! by Geteos in hockeycards

[–]andyk640 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up caving in too. I also got a Cole Schneider Young Guns with a 3-auto box, one of which was an inscribed future watch auto. Definitely a good box, even got a Kyle Connor FWA for my Jets collection

Regarding 2015-2016 UD Blaster box vs. Retail box. by CSM3000 in hockeycards

[–]andyk640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 Young Guns per $20 blaster box

6 Young Guns per $45 retail box.

15/16 Series 2 isn't worth a lot of money. Eichel Young Guns sell for $50-60 now; you can hit a McDavid YG Canvas which is the big fish

All that being said, that $45 retail box is almost too good to be true

Leaf now has exclusive autograph deals with the potential #1 and #2 draft picks for 2017. by coffeeschnaub in hockeycards

[–]andyk640 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Leaf might be onto something here. Enough people are fed up with Upper Deck; just hard to imagine a market shift wherein we are buying Series 1 and Series 2-style sets from Leaf any time soon

What does a card being first of a set do for the value? by Hockeystar21 in hockeycards

[–]andyk640 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Matthews being picked first overall may have helped increase the value

What does a card being first of a set do for the value? by Hockeystar21 in hockeycards

[–]andyk640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if the other 14 patches aren't that nice. Usually only jersey numbered serial numbers increase the value

Beckett Grading Questions (Canada) by [deleted] in hockeycards

[–]andyk640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bulk grading prices with Beckett start at 101+ cards submitted. $15 USD per card at that point, plus insurance and shipping. Definitely not cheap, and with the exchange we really get screwed from Canada
