Coming from Canada and playing hockey and collecting cards my whole life i have to say its nice to see this video. great stuff Geoff.
Maurice "Rocket" Richard's last name is pronounced "re-shard" by the way !
Not at all,
Its s French name that way you prononce it the English way that try to speak French.
Rishar (thats how you prononce to be real).
Let's go love to see hockey getting some love in this series
Go Sens!
Hockey like Soccer is a world sport. There are a lot of non North American players in the NHL which you can’t say for NBA, NFL or MLB. If only NHL got out of its own way and properly marketed their players.
I do and I don't. As a person that collects to just collect having a lot of people gunning for cards just cause the prices for us casual collectors to sky rocket and get annoying.
Daniel Alfredsson 💪💪💪
Fun fact: Jágr has not retired yet, he still plays at 50 in the Czech Republic with his team Kladno. :)
FINALLY HOCKEY CARDS
Now primarily a hockey collector (formerly decades of baseball), I fully approve of this video. There was a lot of ground to cover and I think you managed to touch on most of it.
Worth noting, similar to baseball with teams like the Yankees, Red Sox, and perhaps the Cubs -- hockey also has teams that seem to fetch a slightly higher premium for comparable caliber players. Bruins, Avalanche, Canadians, Rangers, Penguins stars and rookies seem to get 5-10% more for similarly skilled and hof track players.
@@ozsportscardcollector4720 Agree 100% on Toronto, but being a Bruins fan I'm never looking for any of their star cards so slipped my mind. lol [and I'm way late to the game to get in on Matthews at the current entry price points for his cards worth collecting]
Love the hockey content! There’s more of us hockey fans out there than you’d think
Hockey is easily the best sport, but the league sucks. It would be nice to see talented players protected more from low talented goons making dirty hits.
Love seeing some support for hockey card collecting. I started channel during the middle of last year and the community seems to be growing exponentially! I'm very excited for what's to come!
O pee chee platinum is the new #1. It was the biggest riser of the year and one of the new hobby favorites. Equal to Topps Chrome, the parallels are highly treasured.
I know this is an old video but I’d like to add that in my opinion the hockey hobby boxes are some of the most fun to open. Interesting inserts, tons of cards, overall just awesome to keep someone entertained
Love that geoff is showing some love to the hockey world!
One thing that's very important is mentioning "True Rookie" cards. Usually, they're the first card of a player in a sequentially numbered set but not all sets
Geoff,
I told myself 6 months ago that hockey was a sleeping giant. The good thing was at that time no one in North Carolina wanted them so I was picking them up raw and graded very inexpensive. I have amassed a very nice collection since.

@@geraldwilliams3898 Young Guns and Future Watch Autograph.
Played and collected my whole life. Only market that’s been up in the last year is hockey and vintage baseball. That’s not a reason to collect it. Collect what you know and love.
@@Teabagonyou Maybe, I'm looking to diversify collection. Any knowledge I value and my collection is for long term investments, not quick flip.
Always love the hockey content!
Nice overview. Appreciate the love your showing to the sport where players walk on water.
I've collected sports cards since the 60's and hockey has been a love of mine. 10's of 1000's and thats about 10% of the rest of my collection ( baseball, football, basketball, Nascar). Love my hockey cards!:-) love your show! Keep em coming.
Love seeing hockey content from you all
Great video! I also feel like the o-pee-Chee platinum is an important set to mention! It’s hockey’s “chrome” product as of now. A lot of the prices have gone up on major players within the last year, and the marquee rookie cards offer a much lower pop count than the young guns!
Thanks for the amazing video. Love it when you into detail. Extremely informative and, useful data. Thanks for taking the time to invest into us
Thanks so much for this! Appreciate the hockey love. I’m almost entirely a hockey collector. I agree the populations are insanely small. Some big HOFers have less than 20 psa 10 cards in opc and Topps
Great Video! I've been collecting hockey cards for a long time so it's nice to see the sport/hobby get some love. One thing you touched on what could have been covered better was the different grading services for cards. BGS is the highly preferred grading service for modern hockey. For example a BGS 10 McDavid young gun is worth around 10k where a PSA 10 McDavid Young Gun is worth around 5k. There is a big difference in the values... this is the same across the hobby with modern hockey cards. When it comes to vintage cards though PSA and SGC are valued a lot higher than BGS vintage.
Great video! (But it's Maurice 'Ree-Shard', not 'Richard')
But great content, and love to see hockey in the spotlight!
Haha I autocorrected in my mind too.
Yup, unsubscribing! Can’t believe he doesn’t know French with first name Geoff.
Rocket 🚀 Richard’s name is pronounced ReShard … wouldn’t want to ruffle the French Canadians feathers 🪶 as he is a true legend of the game
Came here to say this
Great video, love to see you guys talk more about hockey!
As someone who just started a card collection a few weeks back this is great info. Even though i kind of figured out this info already by watching lots of videos, this was the best explanation of hockey cards ive seen. So much detail on the differences between cards and how upper deck has many different brands.
BTW
Maurice rocket ri-shard is how you pronounce his name
💯 spot on hockey is a great game and fun sport to collect!
Coming from south Florida. Fighting the sun everyday at the beach. It’s nice to see a ice hockey series!
Yay hockey content! Looking forward to the day hockey gets the attention it deserves in relation to the other major sports!
The only reason PSA grades 2% hockey is that they make it such a pain in the ass and so expensive(shipping and import duty charges) for Canadian collectors and investors to grade their cards. If PSA(or SGC or Beckett) opened grading locations here in Canada, the number of graded hockey cards would skyrocket considering 90% of the hockey card industry is located in Canada.
Agreed. My entire collection is Hockey. I never had any interest in baseball cards as a kid. Getting cards graded here would be a nightmare with shipping and costs at the moment (I have actually been advised against it). Most card shops in Ontario (especially northern) are primarily Hockey Cards, so this is a shocker to me lol.
Im a hockey card collector, thanks for another great video. Would love to see a video on Topps Skate /Bunt and other digital cards.....they are more fun than people
think. Cheers!
Love your channel, you inspired me to start up my own card collecting channel... Go Habs Go!
As a hockey card investor it is nice to get some love from someone lol
Hi Geoff! Love the content. Been trying out your app, and I have one question: How do I change currencies? Being based in Canada, I find myself doing mental math when looking at USD comps.
Really appreciate the hockey content!
The latest set to really boom is the O-Pee-Chee platinum set. Has on card autos and has a similar feel to Prizm with all the coloured variations. I would put it as a top 4-5 set in the hockey market to collect.
Nothing beats a low numbered platinum rookie auto!! So beautiful and so sought after!! Look up the Mcdavid or Makar opc auto prices (wow)
I’ve been waiting for prices to come down on the hobby boxes. No dice! What do you consider the top sets are to collect?
Great job Jeff
We are many collectors focus on hockey! What I noticed with other hockey card collectors is that we are very passionate about our sport. We usually only focus on that sport ! This is obviously by far the most popular sport in terms of collecting cards !
Might get back into collecting cards, the 05-06 fleer ultra cards were beautiful when I was younger. I collected them like crazy. Wish there was another set of modern age players that cards looked just as nice.
Thanks for the hockey content .
I like to collect don’t care about condition and I got into collecting hockey sticks and shafts. Great video
Nice I have a Gretzky Yzerman and Paul coffee sticks…
@@sammyweed4771 thats awesome!
I like skybox metal hockey. The Dazzlers inserts are pretty cool.
Been waiting for this. Undertapped market compared to the rest of sports card industry
One of my favorite things about hockey is the fact that you only get 7 young guns in a hobby box. Compare that to a topps series one for baseball where you get flooded with rookies, ultimately making even the big pulls not that valuable. It makes collection fairly affordable while offering great returns on investing
Agreed. I personally find that ripping wax is not worth it. Much better to buy the raw card you are chasing specifically instead of buying an expensive box. The odds are against us with expensive boxes especially
thanks for giving hockey some love!! and BTW....MJ is the Gretzky of basketball
NIce, love seeing hockey getting the love.
I picked up a raw Ovechkin Future Watch auto for $280 almost 10 years ago and was scared. It was the most i paid for a card by a mile, its gone up a little bit... i did ok
Yea just a little! 🤣
Love both this video and your app. I am from the U.K. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS.
Thanks for the hockey card content!
Hockey cards are severely under-appreciated.
Thank you so much for this
Question is the PSA error on prints have more value?
Instead of Mosaic variation only they put mosaic variation silver Holo. But the card is not holo
Love the videos
The thumbnail has me rolling 😂😂
Love to see hockey on this channel!
Long time hockey collector here and hockey is the only sport I watch. Hockey card values are a funny thing, lots of people put these young guys on pedestals who haven't really done anything yet ( I guess same as any sport ) but a lot of guys tank and never live up to a quarter of their hype or potential especially in hockey. The preferred RC is Young Guns but they are not short printed and I personally don't see the appeal in them. There are so many other choices like Future Watch Autos or the Cup. Centers and Goalies is what everyone wants. Defenseman rarely go up in value, at least while the guys are still playing. But at the end of their career if you look at their numbers and your like wait he did what?? then guys are all over them esp if their hall worthy stats. HOF RC's are still under valued compared to other sports but are very quickly gaining ground. Nice to see a hockey get some love from you 😁
100% agree with you. I like Allure and Metal Universe too.
One card variant that's a unknown to most collectors is the rainbow speckled Ygs. Most collectors wont sacrifice 15 base ygs for one speckled. I have a handful of them that's I'm lking to get graded. Such as Svechnikov, Merzlikins, Batherson,Kakko, and more. A Kaprizov and Makar just sold for big bucks recently on ebay
Just like any sport there is more once you dive deeper but great video. The young gun Variants for example there are like 7 Variations. He didn’t mention The Exclusive /100, High Gloss /10, Clear cut exclusive, Acetate, And Then there Is Upper Deck Epack. You can get different variants there too.
looove 80s OPC
Ran into Jeff at the Toronto expo great person
I thought for sure you were going to mess this video up. But you didn't. You hit it out of the park. We (Hockey cards) do have a 90's junk wax era as well. The young guns of the 90's are not the same. They were not short printed so don't have as high of values. I think it was 2002-03 they started coming one every six packs. The exclusives /100 and High gloss /10 young guns are the big chase cards that have been around a lot longer then Canvas/Clear cut etc. Just like other sports, if ripping buy hobby not retail if your chasing the big hits. The best part of the video is when you pronounced Richards name wrong :) Go Leafs Go.
How can I prepare to buy a Bedard rookie card other than just buying one outright? Which brand would everyone recommend?
Ud series 1 for the young guns or spa fore the future watch auto.
For a long time, people primarily graded hockey with BGS, not Psa. Take a look at McDavids BGS 9.5 pop count
Same with other sports. BGS was the premier grading company for modern from like mid 2000’s until about 2019 when the PSA hype train came in.
Hockey 🏒 card collectors are so passionate and generally die hards! O-Pee-Chee baby! Card market tend to be less volatile with huge upside! IMO
O Pee Chee Platinum is my favorite!!
I am not sure I agree equating goalies to pitchers. Usually it was the D that was position player to not collect. However Adam Fox and Cale Makar are changing the landscape on those. All in all, great video. I've been collecting close to 40 years and. you have hit the right points. Upper Deck will be happy with the coverage.
It’s less about least desirable and more about the volatility comparison. Both a pitcher and a goalie can find themselves in serious trouble after only a few bad appearances. One bad season is make or break for goalies. Hence the comparison.
Finally !!!!
Not really into hockey, but giving this a like for the video thumbnail. 🤣👍🏻
No mention of Epack?? Foil and Speckled Young Guns through epack are highly collectible and low print compared to standard Young Guns.
The reason the PSA POP is low on Hockey Cards is because we don't use PSA. It is too expensive to ship our cards to the US and back to be graded. Some people use MNT or KSA but a lot just keep the cards raw. RAW hockey cards seem to sell better and without the huge gap in graded or non graded cards like in other sports. However, Once PSA lowers their prices I think you will see a flood of Hockey Cards!
I had the entire opeechee Gretzky rookie set. Sold it for $600 about 15 years ago
bad move
@@tonymoretti2347 it happens. Nothing compared to the 1933 yellow goudey babe Ruth card I sold for $3500 around the same time in an SGC 4.5. that's a $70-$100,000 card now
@@johnpowell5538 its a close second to the Ruth. Lol
Great video love it !
Its like cds,records and many others,
There is always that new guy/girl or from last generation deciding to collect.
And when we start to collect,,we buy everything at first.
Honestly all these Jersey cards/inserts unless they are from Super!Stars it won't go nowhere.
Collectors like to collect when they know there is an end until the next season arrives.
From 1990 and priors i collected all.
After 1990 only rookies and cards from favorites and real good players.
Thats all what needed imo only of course.
So 30 teams at 2 to 5 cards per teams then roughly 120-150 cards per year.
Rest i give to kids in my block.
Thx for sharing.
you did a fantastic video, just one little correction. you said Maurice Richard (Richard like the first name sound) where as its Maurice 'Rishard'. but overall very accurate and comprehensive video
Amazing video
Good intro vid thanks man
Definitely need more hockey content please
18:50- small correction, his last name is pronounced "ReShard" not Richard. But hey, this was a fantastic video and very informative!! TY!
Always such a big help with all these videos thanks man 👍
With Nascar having bottomed out a few years ago and now starting to rise a little in price (especially ‘90s era desirable cards), what’s your opinion on racing cards?
Bubba Wallace rookie cards all day!!!
Out of the big 4 hockey has the highest proportion of true collectors. while there is still some, alot less flipping going on, in some other sprots you might see all 5 of an /5 auto hit ebay or an auction site. alot less common with hockey
Hockey cards are the best cards
Speaking of low population. Any advice on figuring out a value on a 1 of 1 card?
Couple names I would add to the list you forgot...Dominik Hasek, Steve Yzerman and Mark Messier
The Connor Mcdavid Young Guns has a pop. report of 176 at Mnt ( Canadian grader ) with only one "10". Mnt is known for grading tough. There is no way you send in 176 cards to PSA and only get 1 "10". Good to know for investment purposes and possible flip potential. i wouldn't hesitate to buy a card graded by Mnt or KSA for that matter.
Let’s go finally Hockey
Very informative.
Wayne will always be the Best player of All times ! If he never scored a goal in his NHL career, still would be all time points leader !
He's further ahead of his competition then any other sports GOAT.
Best career doesnt mean best player
Pop counts after 2015 and McDavid Rookie pop counts haven’t been higher. There were 256 added in 2021 in a PSA 10.
Geoff! KK Sportscards is able to offer PSA Economy for $48 and yours is $60! Nothing against you I’m just curious how that all works? Maybe they don’t offer pre-screening like y’all do? Just curious, thank you!
In regards to hockey cards being graded, As I'm sure you know, it's just to expensive from Canada to be using BGS or PSA for the average card. Especially when adding duty/customs fees. I think that the Canadian grading companies have had a major increase in demand for that reason. Maybe look into and review or discuss MNT and KSA grading for us north of the border It will also probably help them become a bit more recognized elsewhere which inturn only helps the hobby and those of us with thier slabs! Thanks again for all that you do!
Very good video and hope to see more on our channel talking about what is in our veins here in Canada Hockey.🤗😂
So I shouldn't start selling off my collection yet?
im in tampa and im a hockey fan lmao
GO AVS
You did not mention the best products to invest in long term, which would be in this order. The Cup, The Clear Cut Series, OPC Platinum(these 3 products give you HARD signed autos), Series One and Two for the Young Guns/Young Gun Parallels, do NOT waste your money on the Extended Series.
I actually pulled a Kaprizov young guns and canvas young guns from extended but it’s mostly shite.
So, what are you trying to say my Detroit Tigers sink? 😂 But hey my Wings are coming up thanks to Stevie Y.
McDavid is a no brainer, he's cards go sky high year after year and the population series are very low and become very rare with time. A lot of good condition raw card in Canada, because they don't have many grading compagny up there in Canada, most of them are in the United States. Grading a Canadian hockey card can be money wise and very interesting for your wallet, especialy the McDavid one of corse! You pay the price for raw card Mcdavid at first, you graded them and pick-up the big money after they are grade, think about it!
his card is on the decline
Hockey baby !!!
Thank you good sir
Just because PMG's are big in other sports doesn't mean its big in the hockey world! For some reason a lot of content creators like to pump Metal.
Upper deck has become the EA of hockey cards. No competition, same watered down product year after year. Once someone else is allowed to enter back into the market on a licensed basis, maybe I’ll start buying boxes again. Until then, I’ve seen too many videos of “don’t give a shit, give me your money” quality control and gimmicky inserts from UD.
THIS
more hockey content please ! thanks
how is that gretzky at 6:09 a Gem Mt 10 ? Look at that right edge lol
psa junk
I just like buying packs and seeing what I get.
