'10 - Taylor Hall, Tyler Seguin, Jordan Eberle, Brayden Schenn, PK Subban, Jake Muzzin, Sergei Bobrovsky, Nazem Kadri, Oliver Ekman-Larsson, and more.

A couple of years in 2015-2016 had a lot of talent.

Last couple of years when the boxes of key product have exploded in price, you basically were looking for Lafreniere or Bedard. That's pretty bone dry. Luckily a few decent, collectible players emerged from last year but it really feels like we're in a drought period again.

I already mention 15-16, a ton of those are already out of there, along with Lafreniere and Bedard. You look at the rest and you'll find year by year, there are only a few stars or only one star that year because you listed like 6 years worth and just a few major stars like Makar and Stutzle.

Just a few guidelines

1. Never assume you will get your money back on pulls. It is usually better to just straight buy the cards online or from another collector.

2. If you do buy sealed, buy hobby boxes. A lot of cards are usually only available in them and those are the chase cards

3. Check card lists for the sets you are buying before you purchase. Usually you can see if something in the set interests you before you spend money.

4. Collectors are willing to haggle. Don't be afraid to ask if they are willing to sell a bit lower than their ask. You can usually get your cards for a much better price doing that.

5. You will have a much better time treating card collecting as a hobby rather than trying to invest in them. Unless you are extremely lucky OR you are very patient and are willing to spend lots of time buying low and selling high, you won't get rich on this.


That's just me though. Someone who has been in it longer will probably have much better and more fleshed out ideas on it.

Oh Im not looking at this to make money, if I can then awesome. I just kinda find it fun. I mostly want Young Guns. but its kinda cool just to gamble see what I can get. I appreciate the tips.

I also pulled a Barkov High Gloss - someone has it listed for 15$ on ebay. cant find any sold though.
that Kaprizov was listed for 11$ but one sold for 1$ lol
my Young Guns are kinda disappointing I got Alex Steeves and Adam Beckman
and a Holo Cole Sillinger

Im just gnna hold onto them, kinda cool

Decent little sale at COMC.com on singles, I had a bunch in my cart that went cheaper and others that are on sale for less than what's showing on the search (I think it'll update eventually).

Also they have a promo u get $5 in credit for every $100 you spend with store credit plus some other seller promos.

I'm sure some shops have good deals on boxes and stuff but instead of gambling with a box, I spent around $250 on 84 cheapo patches and a few autos of HoF and Hall of Very Good guys.
