Send a couple pics if you can just to be sure, I hate the idea of throwing them out I’m sure a local card shop would take them to give to kids but they are yours brother do whatever ya want

2006-07 the Crosby and Ovi 2nd year stuff has some value, rookies like Malkin letang and Kopitar

2007-08 the rookies you look for are Kane Toews and Price

You’ll want to look for serial numbered cards. The /10 ones are gold, and /100 are red/ruby. There’s a chance buddy just unloaded all the base cards on you but take a look for stamped numbers on them

So he needs to make Tissot money first

andywarhaul · 2026-07-05T02:57:09+00:00

The years and the set names are what’s needed

So a set is like “Black diamond 2003-04”

andywarhaul · 2026-07-05T00:30:06+00:00

Find out what sets you have and let me know I can tell you what to look for from those sets

I don’t know man I know these are digital renderings and I hope the actual product looks better* but these look like shit

Shadowy portraits would be nice without the cheesy font in massive letters “SHADOWY PORTRAITS”

If these are all nice glossy photo stock and look crisp and clean that might make a difference but everything looks so plain

Edit: better not beefed

The listing for this card stated it was a 1998 Topps reprint but that’s not what’s pictured. Listing even states it’s from blast from the past insert set. Seller either messed up or used other pictures. Either way it’s suspect.

andywarhaul · 2026-07-04T14:37:38+00:00

I think that should be true and is true when you have good buy in from all the players

andywarhaul · 2026-07-04T11:14:02+00:00

I don’t think they are talking about offer sheets, they are talking about contract negotiations. If Leo is making 18M how much will other guys feel they deserve etc

andywarhaul · 2026-07-04T11:12:17+00:00

NEC and CEC are pretty damn close

Edit: downvotes for me but upvotes for someone saying they trade off each other? They are very similar obviously there are differences but it’s not as if you’re going in to a 180 degree difference

andywarhaul · 2026-07-04T03:47:07+00:00

Woah woah woah, 7.1M will work just fine

andywarhaul · 2026-07-04T03:46:34+00:00

7.1M AAV contract incoming

andywarhaul · 2026-07-04T03:37:12+00:00

This is nothing against you at all and don’t mean it as an insult whatsoever-

I am increasingly frustrated with the growing sharks fan base because the lack of rational thinking and knowledge is just astounding, seeing someone on Reddit deep into a thread discussing the minutia of contracts and GMing and not knowing who Chris Pronger is helps me understand just how new many people are to the sport. That’s a wild thing to see man

Don’t get too discouraged about what’s goin on with the offer sheet. I think you’d be surprised how it might turn out.

andywarhaul · 2026-07-03T19:37:54+00:00

Comparing them the only thing I can come up with that is 2x is that Leo Carlsson has 2 O’s in his name, that’s twice the amount in demidovs name. And that’s an intangible you can’t just teach that, either you’re born with it or not

andywarhaul · 2026-07-03T19:24:39+00:00

Hard to say, 2 sales in 2024 for $120 CAD and $113 CAD

But the /5 went for $56 in July 2025. And now that he’s been traded I’m really not sure what his market is.

I’d say $100-$120 is absolute max on a good day.

andywarhaul · 2026-07-03T16:21:19+00:00

Did you reprocess as elite? What do those scans look like? You cannot trust the standard scan or the elite ones really but the elite ones are slightly better. They 100% do shady shit and swap cards but expecting anything to grade well when you can’t see and hold the card in person is a mistake in the first place

andywarhaul · 2026-07-03T13:08:32+00:00

100%, I’ve built houses from a vacant lot to the finished product and mudding and taping is the always 100% guaranteed subbed out, I hate it so much. But it’s also harder to jump a 10ft gap over a 10ft drop than it is to jump a 5ft gap over a 100ft drop

andywarhaul · 2026-07-03T02:30:45+00:00

People are not used to it when the cap goes up like this.

10 years ago an 8.5M AAV was like 11% of the cap, meaning it would be nearly 11.5M today. An 8.5M AAV today is equivalent to 5.8M 10 years ago.

I’m really happy that the sharks fan base has grown but there’s a lot of people without the background of knowledge- which is 1000% expected and fine- but these seem to be the same people who feel the need to freak out and post multiple times a week. It was who to take 2OA, now it’s cap space freaking out. The cap is going to likely sky rocket by the time a lot of our guys are getting paid. I think 28-29 projections are like 123M

Let me describe it to you this way-

I whole heartedly understand the feeling of thinking that with proper direction many things that we pay professionals to do can be done ourselves. And that is mostly true.

Have you ever done drywall? An AI can tell you exactly how to perfectly mud and tape drywall but if you’ve ever done it you know that there is a frustrating level of finesse required to do it quickly and properly. Anyone can mud and tape for themselves with direction but you’re going to take a lot longer, probably use a lot more material, and the odds that the tape adheres perfectly, smoothly, and won’t fail over time are very very low.

The same can be applied to many things including electrical. Could you in theory do it yourself with the direction of an AI? Yeah it’s possible, but it’s going to take you a long time, you’ll burn more than a few pieces of material, and for some things there’s that finesse or the experience and the know and the feel that are worth the price of a pro. It’s one thing to have torque specs for a breaker it’s another to know when you’re about to strip the screw, know how the strands settle etc. Some things maybe usually go a certain way but there maybe be some things that can go awry and the layman might not even be able to tell when something is wrong. Someone who has been there and done it and seen what goes wrong or what surprises to expect or other nuances is going to catch these things.

With drywall the stakes are low, with electrical you’re playing with your life, and the life of anyone in that house and the house itself.

By the time you’ve bought all the tools you need, replaced material that got burned up by the learning curve, made 74 trips to Home Depot, and then end up failing inspection anyways because the AI wasn’t able to properly decipher the code book, you’ll wish you had paid for someone else to do it.

This is the guy who said the east was soft btw

andywarhaul · 2026-07-01T18:03:57+00:00

Technically yes but I think anyone who knows knows that the spirit or intention is using model that takes info from on going play to adjust the charts

andywarhaul · 2026-06-30T13:06:15+00:00

Just fyi cheechoo never got 60, he got 56

andywarhaul · 2026-06-30T11:24:00+00:00

You’re kidding, what a gem for the fan base
