No amount of money could ever replace the pure joy that kids had from collecting, trading, flicking, and scrambling these hockey cards back in the 1970's. As kids, we didn't care very much at all about a cards condition ... it was all about collecting the complete series for that particular year, and then checking the players/teams off on each of the checklist cards.

You and your brother fist fighting over that Gretzky rookie brought be back to my childhood. That’s what it’s all about. ❤️

Gretzky's rookie card went for 1.3 million in nov. 2020 goldin auctions

Maybe a follow up video, showing same cards and their appreciation. The last auction sale of a PSA - Mint 10, OPC Gretzky rookie was over 4.5 Million CAN

Everyone: cool cards Me: oh crap I can get a fortune out of this

You are fabulous !!! Great information, delivery , personality !! Absolutely classic !! I’m an old collector age 63 . Thank you !!

LMAO, "some mensa candidate..." Very cool video and also man you have an incredibly interesting card collection.

Hey Ken. Thanks for doing these videos.

I have a entire binder dedicated to the top goalies of the 90's... Including Patrick Roy, Felix Potvin, Martin Broudour and much more. I also have Ray Bourque number 7 cards.

Absolutely love the show!!

I have Jean Beliveau and Al Arbour 1953-54 Parkhurst Rookie Cards. They are not in the greatest shape because my dad used a corner sticker that they used in old photo books to place them in a book. I have the Gretzky too but it has soft corners and a slight indent on the top left corner. Need to get them graded just to see.

It’s a great hobby I always like to talk about hockey sticks bringing back hockey history.

Awesome Ken, love it!!!

Its this first and only video i enjoyed from sport net . Nice cards buddy

yeah he severely undervalued his 99 rc

I know someone who had two Wayne Gretzky rookie cards when he was a kid. He said he used them on his bicycle spokes with the clothes pegs lol 😂

I've got a Gretzky rookie card. I was 10yo when I bought it on a pack of bubble gum. It's in better shape than Ken's. I actually had about 4 or 5 of them back then but only found the one card in my box of cards when they started becoming $$$ in the late 80s.

Awesome!

You just told the story of my collecting life, except I don't have that Bobby Orr,.

As soon as he said not so bad to 200-300 bucks I cried because my best hockey card is worth 15$

I give him 300 for gretzky no problem..

I remember seeing two Gretzky rookies at a card store when I was a kid. One for $200 the other for $300

I have about 100 Patrick Roy Rookie cards.Bunch of 9s 8s 7s bunch raw.Did have a ksa10.Had to sell it though.

You should make a follow up to this video with today’s prices

I have the Gretzky rookie card, but unfortunately pen scribbling on the back side 🤤

I had the Orr rookie card in excellent condition, like an idiot, sold it in 1985 to a card store for $400. I had not done my homework. Afterword he quickly led me out of the store saying he could sell it for $1200. Next heartbreak story (of three). I met the photographer of the Gretzky rookie card in 2000. He offered me two uncut sheets of OPC 1979-80. I could have had them for $1000 bucks but turned it down!!! Third heartbreaker. In 1965 I saw these 'tall' hockey cards for sale at the local variety store. NO ONE was buying them so I bought the whole box. These were the Tall Boys, the Howe alone today is worth over $1000. Sadly I gave them away in 1990, I will NOT say to whom or why! I have more stories but I have to commit suicide now.

All My cards are mint 😊from early 70-96 big collection

The sports card industry is booming since the pandemic started. It’s a legit stock market with tangible cardboard art...Your Gretzky could easily sell for $500; the poorest condition ones are creeping up to a $1000 graded.

Hey I have a question how would I go about sending out Wayne Gretzky card to get graded

Just found mint Dryden rookie at a yard ale in toronto,. not graded.

I hate this part you got to get your cards professionally graded

I had Ken Dryen and Guy Lafleur rookie and a Black Lotus for Magic the gathering. All stolen from my locker in Vancouver. It's sad that my city has become a cesspool for crime. So, I gave up on that, moved and created a better life in a safer crime free country. lol

Most of the Old Hockey Cards haven't come up to where the other cards are at I've got a lot of 60s and 70 stuff most of it hasn't gone up in years

The amount of wayne Gretzky rookie card fakes on the market now make it almost impossible to get a genuine unless you know what to look for or get an expert to look at it before buying one. As far as i know there are 2 variations of the fake ones. The second one is the hardest to spot.

I have some really good cards and sets from 60's 70's 80's and 90's. I would like to sell them. I have a Bobby Orr team 2 Allstar card auto graphed also.

Mine are all from around 1995. Not worth squat compared to these? Got one "'94-95 FLEER ULTRA NHL All Star Game" with Wayne Gretsky. Worth anything? Slightly worn edges, no creases.

Priceless and doesn't even keep the Gretzky in a one touch.....

Technically a PSA 10 doesn’t have to be perfect. It can be off center or have a slightly different imperfection in another sub-grade and still receive an overall 10 or you could own the company and get your 8’s to 10’s for free, lol. It’s good to mention here there are two examples of his rookie the topps and o-pee-chee which is typically around 2x more than the topps version. It’s also one of the most forged cards in the hobby. There are ways to tell and if you’re interested in adding a Gretzky to your collection Raw, I’d investigate how to tell before getting suckered. That raw Gretzky probably grades a PSA 3 and today a few years later the o-per-Cher’s comps in similar grade are selling for around 1-1.3k depending on eye appeal, time of day, and if the buyer is color blind or left handed…j/k. The topps sell around 500-900 today. It’s one of my favorite cards. I got pretty lucky to snag a raw card that looked mint before the market erupted for $900 and sent in to CSG in their infancy when they were the strictest reputable graders on the planet. It got an 8.5 which was the highest graded Gretzky in CSG’s database, I haven’t checked recently. This would easily fetch a 9 from PSA which last sold for 60k. 900 dollar card, 35 dollar grading fee, potential 5 figure profit. If you don’t own a Gretzky, you better get you one. 😎

Bergeron Young Guns 🔼

I got prestine cards I got rookies all your top 20 I probably got eight of them that haven't been touched in 30. How do I get them graded

I think my most valuable card is probably my jagr super rookie, but even that isn’t worth much

I’ve got a Stevie Y rookie I got from my father lol

Grading companies don't want to grade older cards high today

I have a 1910 newsy lalonde PSA7 that is worth more than all of these combined.

I have a 1990 Wayne Gretzky proset card, haven't gotten it graded or anything, I have the whole proset 90-93 I think lol, even have whole platinum set, Fred Rogers ·penguins #297 proset platinum idk what to do with all these cards tho??

I have 2 boxes of unopened factory sealed plastic 89_90 score NHL cards .. I think theres 50 packs in each box .. Jagr rookie Year Lindros RC in a old uniform along with many others brodeur etc... .. I had 3 and opened 1 to see cards inside .. Is this worth anything ?

Hackey Kurd

I know someone that has a 9.8 graded rookie Bobby Orr , the only out there , how much is it worth ?

I think he did seven of them in a row Stanley Cups

Not joking I have 5 Patrick Roy rookie cards. And I swear that one is in MINT condition. Growing up I lived for Roy cards.

No they cannot, Im the alive proof,Got all sets from the 60s to 1989 in triples and more. Born and raised in Hockey town/Montreal 24 cups. Cards are still too easy to find plus most hobbyists and collectors love the chase more than actually pay a stupid 500$ for a card from their hard earned money. They are around. It takes a dumbass to pay 4000$ for an Ovechkin rookie where you can find all over specially in garage sale bulks. Where the mama was cleaning the son room and the garage from"useless" stuff not needed no more as son lives with dad now lol I find so much from garage sales.

I have a gretzky psa 4

I have a limited edition Stefan Liv card personally signed card number 15/25. Anyone knowing the worth?

Picked up a ov rookie in a trade.

I have a signed wayne gretzky game stick......wonder what that's worth and where can I take it to tell me and possibly sell it for me .....anyone know?

I sold a Mike bossy rookie for 500.000

You get a perfect 10

Do nfl card history

Massively Rich, ok my gosh so rich.

Lol. Shared custody

How do they know it's not in mint condition ??? Do they put them under a microscope ????

$200 Mark Recchi

Gretzky rc isnt the holy grail lol

What’s the address? Just wondering for research purposes

Are the old SGC slabs out of 100? It was a bit confusing when you said PSA 10 is 52k then the SGC 10 is poor lol

i have box of o pee che hockey cars not sure what there worth all still in origional box

bruh why arent the cards in one touches

my dad had 9 gretzky rookie cards as a kid but got rid of all of them he could be rich now

I have a 78.79 hockey card wayne gretzky pee wee I mint condition for sale

3 cards in a new pack. Talk about getting ripped off

And the $ you spend getting them "graded" will be more $ than the card is worth

Hockey cards are 2nd fiddle to comic books. Period. The end.

Well it costs $100 to get cards graded now so....

Okay fine, but I will never shell those ridiculous amounts of money for a scrap of cardboard.

No.....only knowledge can make you rich

Hi ken I am looking for someone to give me an appraisal my hockey card collection

Perfect condition is idiotic. If you enjoy owning the card for its intrinsic value, that's all that matters in my opinion. I love collecting beer cans, in the park, mostly for the deposit value. 25 empty cans gets me a free beer. You can't drink a Gretzky rookie.

Not like baseball, but better than football

Nb..ni

very very slow !!!!!!!

yuck Montreal heavy episode

Shame on you

This whole industry is a sham. Get out... sell em all walk away. No one makes money in this unless you're already loaded. N if you're just into losing money for the fun of it. Send me some money.
