True to a point, but look at young guns of guys like Pastrnak. Not shiny but still worth several hundred dollars. If stutzle and laf become franchise players, there cards will end up worth 300-600 dollars. If they end up sucking, they will be worthless. That’s the gamble
Pastrnaks card value has more to do with the fact that in 2014-15 the card boom hadn't yet begun (it started the following year with McDavids Young Guns). Upper Deck didn't print near as many cards up until 2015-16 in turn making them much harder to come across, in turn upping their value once the boom happened. Same thing with Bo Horvats, MacKinnon, Draisital etc. Supply and demand. After that everyone and their dogs started chasing McDavid, followed by Matthews and continuing from there. UD was looking a cash cow in the mouth and began printing cards to meet demand.
Ya in the few hockey card forums I lurk on I do see a ton of PMG cards being shown off. I never did take to that Metal set myself. Personally I really like the O Pee Chee Platinum set. Its a variant based set to be sure, but I just love the fact that all the autos are hard signed. Also the quality of the card itself seems to be top notch for a mid tier product. The Metal cards not so much
Stick to the established tried and true rookies .
With the high end #’s cards yes as it is obviously known how many are out there. With the UD young guns no, as there are more than enough to go around and UD just keeps printing based on demand. But whatever, you do you. If thats what hets you excited for the hobby than who am I to say otherwise
I agree 100%. Thing is FWA is out if 999 and Cup RPA are 249. Young Guns are in the 10 000 plus. Which do you think will hold their value more down the road? Its pretty obvious. And thats the point I was trying to make earlier.
I’m saying out of all the other brands and makes of cards those three . All the others are fodder compared to those.
I agree with you on that one without a doubt. And wow your collection is insane. My best cards are Jean Beliveau rookie BGS 5.5 Maurice Richard 53-54 Parkie BGS 6, Ovechkin YG BGS 9 and a Matthews YG UD Exclusive raw. Yours blow mine out of the water. Im jealous
Pfft. Its only about 200 grand if not more. Who doesn't have a collection like that…..
Ultimate RC Autographs are hard signed, more limited than a future watch autograph (/99, /299, or /399, I believe), and consistently sell for less than the /999 FWA.
Did a card show recently and had Dachs at five bucks and went home with them.I have conflicting thoughts about your post. Lafreniere, Stutzle, Dach prices have a lot of premiums built into their prices already. Top 3 picks tend to have premiums built into their card prices. NYR and CHI are big markets. Can Kirby Dach improve? Sure- he could become a 1C in the next 5 years.. But his YG also hit the market at like $15 USD... and now they're worth ~$30 USD. So they've already gone up despite Dach doing nothing special since the product dropped.
I was buying Jason Robertson ygs last year for $1-2 each, sometimes less in bulk. I could've bought 150 Jason Robertson ygs or 15 Dach young guns. I moved all my Jason Robertson cards for between $30 and $40 per card Did I get lucky? Absolutely. If I wanted to realize those same profits with say a Dach rookie, they would have to be $450++ and we all know how unlikely this is. You could spread your money out on 5-10 of your favourite cheap rookies every year and you just need to hit on one of them. There's minimal risk involved in this because young guns rarely dip below $0.30-0.50.

Think about it.

That’s nothing . I have had some cards that are amazing but sold them before the boom. What I have pales in comparison compared to the guys I buy/sell/trade with .
