Lmao. The same thing will happen to the idiot who spent 10k on Bedard’s draft card

Went to Blowout cards today - one of the workers there thinks that due to Bedard being injured AND so many of them being printed, the product will be a lot cheaper in a few months. Another one said prior to that that the product will go up even higher. I wasn't collecting when other big rookies came out - so do I try to snag some boxes/tins on day of release or wait?

Sid for sure. Less of his cards out there, already has top 5-10 career. McDavid could surpass him but odds are he won’t.

I would yup. Card collecting wasn't near as popular in 2005 as it is now. So because of that, they were not printing near as many as they do now, or even did in 1979 with Gretzky. Sid will go down as one of the best ever and due to supply and demand down the road, I only see his card going way up over the years.
Wonder how many copies of the OPC Gretz they printed back in 79. I know McDavid is absolutely flooding the market which is why I’m staying away from him

um, there is a listing on ebay for one, and they are asking $12499.00 cnd, I think you missed the part where they where looking for the high gloss flavor
This only peaked my interest because a High Gloss Vincent Desharnais young guns showed up on my facebook marketplace and he was asking $700.

I think at this point gretzky opc or sid is whatever personal preference you want. Cant really go wrong either way as long as your card is legit and not a fake

Asking and getting something for it are two different things.
You have to check sold part to see what someone is, or at least was willing to pay for it.

How do you know? Does Beckett have a population report still for BGS graded cards or something?
When it comes to Gretzky, McDavid, Crosby, I think highest potential all-time ranking is by far the most important criterion, and that's the order I would put them in. Even if it's not their most valuable rookie, that doesn't matter that much to me anymore. I love my two Yzerman Topps rookies in their hard jewel cases, even though O-Pee-Chee is usually considered more valuable.
ive been speckling ygs on epack since uds1 released last week... completed 5 so far including this flames trio

Better than sending to Beckett where you probably don't get 1 10.View attachment 815526

I've almost always seen the PSA 10 sell for more than Beckett 9.5. It's almost because there's a 10 on it.
PSA 10 should be worth less than Beckett 9.5, but for some reason it isn't

I wonder if that was an intended design or they had a malfunction one day and just decided to make it a card

Not a fan of either but how do you come to this conclusion?
Beckett was a big, big deal in the early 2000s but their decline was pretty much earned.
As someone who was a huge collector back in the day and slowly is getting back into it, and whose son is really getting into the hobby...
Is it safe to suggest that the hobby is a whole lot different than the peak in the late 80s into the mid-90s? Back then it was about completing sets and collecting as many common cards, with the feeling of hitting the jackpot if you got a specialty card. Whereas these days it feels like (and certainly tell me if I'm wrong) it is the opposite -- common cards are ho-hum, and it's all about getting the 1 of X cards, autographed and/or jersey cards, specific players/rookies, etc. Not to mention the huge emphasis on having your cards graded to ensure their value and condition.
I'm of the mindset that quality is greater than quantity. Spend the money on the cards you are most interested in. I also speak as one, who perhaps is in the minority, who views card collecting as something for my lifelong keepsakes than merely investment opportunities.
