PSA Submission Reveal - 38 cards ALL VINTAGE HOCKEY: Lots of Wayne Gretzky! 

Thank you for watching & for your kind words. Yes, I am mainly a hockey collector & one of the few who love grading & revealing hockey. Enjoy any of my other vids if you choose and thanks again!

I'm in Canada and collected hocjey and a little baseball since I was 7 years old. I just retired from policing and at 54 I find I missed out the last ten years or so as far as the grading prominence these days. The 70s were my start, but seeing these gradings discourages me from grading many of mine. I have a ton from hockey from mid 70s but took a break in the late 80s. Started back at it in late 90s and started back gard at it from 2000 on. I backed off again a few years ago, and now I'm not sure about investing in grading, though I understand how the market is at this time. The only shop in my city has very little stock due to supply issues and the prices are out of control....at least in my humble opinion. I am now retired and don't think I can afford to get back in at this point. I have bins that I have filled with company issued auto cards and bins of gane-used, and inserts etc...I'm thinking of selling off most of my collection, possibly most if not all. As s Flyers fan, and Yankees fan I have nice collections of both teams. Anyone with suggestions on my next move? Thanks in advance.

​@@robertarnold7187well I collect vintage hockey. The best step probably is creating a list of complete sets you may have and some of the key players you may have that are loose cards that might already be graded. And then provide that list to people who are buying like possibly the guy running this channel or other channels and see if there is any interest. As an example, I would only buy vintage baseball and hockey but not some of the more modern stuff while other people might only want the modern stuff with the autos and the numbered cards and that type of stuff. But having that list is a starting point, would at least give people a general idea of what you have for sale.

I got into hockey around the 1993 season, so yes, I did get to see him play albeit later in the career. I was a big Jagr & Modano fan growing up. Thank you again!

@@bqaggie I’m from Michigan, big M M fan here also….

I’m also not a big fan. But it’s worth it with alot of cards. Especially vintage.

@@mikeytherock4696 ya there is a lot of money in it for sure, but that brings corruption as well. Heard of a wealthy card dealer that may have a guy or two inside working at a grading facility and he could be paying them for good grades in his cards. I just avoid it altogether, but ya there is huge money in it 💯.

PSA control the trading market and this is just speculation; but I’d like to know how much oversight control there is to ensure the graders and big card collectors are not speaking off the record to ensure certain mint 10 cards continue to remain highly valuable. It’s gotten out of hand to be honest

The Psa10 Wayne Gretzky o pee chee rookie that sold for millions is not even a 10 if you look at it. Slightly off center and whiting on the edges from the ripped wire cutting. As they say when buying a graded card, grade the card, not the given grade because the grader may have been having a bad day or was very inexperienced with grading. From what I have heard and scene on those, no psa10 should exist. After seeing and experiencing recent bad grading I am very reserved on buying any graded card without seeing it up close.

I submitted these via a monthly vintage special, so I think the price was $12 or $14 per card.

It was cheaper than that on the special, and I had some freebie redemptions. Plus, regardless of brand, graded Gretzky sells. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't grade Topps hockey unless it's a Roy, Lemieux or Yzerman RC in gradeworthy condition.

@@bqaggie fair enough. Regardless, still really nice cards. I just really have a disdain for topps hockey 😛😛😎...
