Some awesome Hockey cards and cool special forces from Dave Campbell. The Tim Horton, Goldie Howe Parkhursts looks great! Ken Dryden Topps is awesome. Bobby Orr. Great stuff Ken. Enjoyed.
Dude, Ken! You had me drooling throughout this video, vintage hockey FIRE!!! You have a stellar vintage hockey collection already my friend. Gorgeous examples, too! 🤩🤩🤩
Wow, I had you drooling! Your collection is so amazing. Thanks for the kind words. We need more vintage hockey in our lives! Hoping to pick up a Gretzky rookie in 2025. Thanks for tuning in Shane.
Vintage hockey is so underrated buddy! Some awesome pickups. Love that Lanny RC. And the Bobby Orr! Nice generosity from Dave. Great inserts from extended tis year!
@@leaffandownunder3635, thanks for enlightening me on the inserts from the 2024 extended series. Lanny the Legend, great hockey player. Thanks for hanging out with me Mike and Uki. Go Avs!
Wow! Great collections! Thanks for sharing! I have a few I’ve been picking up. I collect Redwings. And if I can pick up key cards cheap I do. Hockey totally under rated!!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Todd, now is the time to pick up vintage hockey. Who knows if it will make a run, but I'm not waiting. I appreciate you tuning into the channel.
Some nice autos, and an absolutely gorgeous Timmy! Incredible color on that one! I've got that same Howe too! And just rolling out the killer vintage hockey including that amazing Dryden RC! That Orr is so so nice as well. Holy smokes! 👀
Hey Ken, keep quiet about vintage hockey until we get the cards we want. Haha. I love seeing the Howe, Orr, and Horton. Dryden was fantastic. If demand for vintage hockey does go up, the supply won’t be nearly as high as for baseball. Most 50s and early 60s Parkhurst and Topps cards were primarily available in Canada, with only a small amount making it to the US. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and collection
@@tjmacvintagecardsnostalgia648, alright, that is the last I will mention about the prices of vintage hockey cards. I’m on the hunt for more vintage cards. I need a Maurice Richard and a Bobby Hull and many others. Thanks for hanging out at the channel Terry.
Ken I love that your putting out a prediction or at least your thoughts on vintage hockey. I for one think vintage hockey is freaking awesome. I own zero but I could see myself one day getting a run of them like you of one from each set. They look freaking awesome !!! I hope they stay cheap until I buy some one day 😂😂😂. Awesome cards Ken love that I was there for a few of those gems.
@@DoubleDvintagebaseballcards, nice you watched one of my hockey card videos! Indeed, you were there when I bought two of them. Better deals buying hockey cards in the summer! Thanks for hanging out at the channel Dylan! 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Vintage hockey keeps on growing on me ever time I see it. I was only going to go back to 86 for my team sets but I may go back further. I don’t think vintage hockey will take off through the country but perhaps in certain areas. I also feel like there is also a lot of value in vintage football. That special forces card is really cool. May have to pickup some Pens for the collection.
@@scootscollectibles, I agree that vintage football could have some run. However, the rules of football have changed so much all the records for the great players have been eclipsed, so many of these guys will not resonate with today’s football fans. You could just start with a key player from the years prior to 86. Thanks for hanging out with me Mike.
@@billsmafiacards9420, glad that you agree with me on vintage hockey card prices. I still have a bunch that I want to add to my collection. Thanks for hanging out at the channel James.
Makar got there quick! Came out of the new Extended Series. Beautiful Howe & Tim Horton. The vintage is definitely going to hold steady. I have friends in Quebec, those Dryden's or a Roy is so huge there. Bobby Orr was my father's favorite player, because of the Oshawa Generals start for him. Solid pick ups. If vintage does boom your set for it
Thanks again for the Makar card. I agree with you that I think the prices of vintage hockey will likely hold their value, but not increase too much. Thanks for hanging out with me Dave.
First awesome video Ken! Second, shhhhhh on the vintage Hockey Cards! (Just kidding). You are on the way with an already awesome collection. The ‚68 topps set is one of my favorites. I’ve been watching their prices keep going up. Same with ‚71 topps. I’ve found ‚72 through ‚79 to be more affordable depending on the player. Gretzky rookie obviously not. I do think they will go up in price as the popularity goes up in the US and younger collectors turn to vintage as they get older. I just bought a ‚79 Bobby Hull yesterday so this was a perfect timing video!
I agree with you on the prices of 72-79. I think there are not many superstar rookies of those years of hockey, so the sets don't seem to draw as much interest. I think that vintage will likely be steady. Nice Bobby Hull addition. Thanks for hanging out my friend.
You went old school with that Rockies post season shirt. Hahaha. Sorry, I had to. It’s amazing to me that the Avalanche have been in the league for almost 30 years. I was in Estes at the time and loved going to games. I hope vintage Hockey makes a run at some point in the distant future, but not too soon. I’ve been grabbing up what I can. Do I think vintage hockey makes a run? Unfortunately no, but prices on new will still be way overpriced. I love the 71-72 Topps Dryden. Stellar cards, Ken. I really enjoyed the video.
Was trying to remember the good days of the Rockies. 🤪😝I agree that I think the vintage hockey card market will go on a run anytime soon, but modern cards can be crazy priced. At least the Avalanche have had some success over the past 28 years. Thanks for tuning in Shawn.
Man those are some beautiful vintage pickups. Outstanding haul. I hope you’re right about vintage staying affordable in the states. I’ve been wanting to pickup some vintage parkhurts for a while just haven’t pulled any triggers. They’re just fantastic looking cards. Also some awesome Ultimate Collection autos. I’ve already been mock drafting away anxious for the season to start. See you in the chat bud 👊🏻🏒
@@davidm686, mock drafts already! You’re addicted to drafting! 🤪 I think we’re pretty safe on vintage hockey not blowing up anytime soon. I would hard to see any hype from people in the US. The old hockey 🏒 cards are so cool to me. Fascinating. Thanks for hanging out at the channel. Catch you in the chat.
I hope so, Ken! It seems primed to be the next vintage boom with HK scoring back up again. People start looking at the all-time leaderboards to see where the guys like McDavid measure up then the eyebrows go up. The 80's and 90's were insane for scorers and the all-time leaderboards are full of guys who started in the 1990's and earlier. Harder with FB and BK when the all-time leaderboards are always "evolving". Rule and gameplay changes are partially to blame. Awesome cards and backstory on the guys I didn't recognize like McNab. Sweet Lanny and what a copy of the Dryden! Neat guy and that's a sweet run you have there. There is an O-Pee-Chee by the way, yes. My old buddy's dad was friends with Gordie Howe. I still have 2 IP Howe autos (Roger had them signed for me) signed "Gordon Howe" which I thought was cool. May send them out to PSA with a couple celebrity autos I picked up for authentication or dual service. Lastly, they are trying - and the light show is top-notch - but please tell Av's management I (a Wings fan) can make them a 10X better hype song and intro song for 1/2 the price of whatever they paid for that one. I'm serious! I'll make a dubstep track with a bassline so heavy it will tear the roof off the place for their home games. And, GO WINGS!
So far you're in the minority of people that think vintage hockey will go up. I agree that when other players like Ovi, Crosby, and McDavid start breaking scoring records the vintage players may get a bump. Football, I agree, is much different with so many rules changes and the way the game is played. I bet the Dryden OPC rookie is a pretty penny more than the Topps version. Cool that you have two IP Howe autos. The Avalanche do different hype songs for each game that I have been to. I have only been to a couple other hockey arenas and I would say that the Avalanche are in the middle of the pack. I bet you're serious that you can make a great hype song. Thanks for hanging out at the channel Ben, Go AVS!
@@kenscardboard Haha, thanks for reading all the way through Ken! You obviously get my "humor" or lack thereof. The Av's did rock, what a rivalry with the Wings just epic. Two teams you can count on bringing it every night with future hall of famers all over those teams. I hope the youngsters look into the "Broad St. Bullies", old Montreal Dynasties, and of course the insanity of the Detroit/Colorado rivalry. I watch that footage and it just brings back the adrenaline!

@@Firearcher4, that is an impressive collection. What do you do with all of these cards, store them in boxes or binders, or display them in some manner?
@@kenscardboard Some in boxes. I have my 1965-1973 & 1985-86 cards in hard plastic display holders, which are kept in a large box purchased from a sports card store. Others in binders but am moving away from them as I buy more plastic holders. Started collecting in 1972, bought cards each year until 1991. I was disgusted with Upper Deck who flooded the market and stopped buying anything new from 1992 til now. To this day I loathe UD and refuse to buy anthing they put out. The younger generation who were not around in the 1980's may not understand. Each year OPC put out 1 set. 1 set. It was simple. Upper Deck was greedy and mass produced cards to make a buck.
I was watching Jeremy Lee's livestream and sombody asked a question about other sports selling in Edmonton and Wayne said it's like if you asked somebody from the US how does Hockey sell vs the other sports and Wayne who owns a store across from the Edmonton Mall said the other sports sell more. So Hockey is king in Canada Baseball by us!!! let's look at a scenerio in Canada whose card do you think is more valueable/expensive 1976/1977 Rod Gilbert or a 1977 Johnny Bench let's say in Edmonton, Thunderbay , Paris , Sudbury , Timmins, Earlton all in Ontario except Edmonton? Now what about at the Westchester County center Whiteplains New York or Javitz center? Sean Walker , Cale Makar special Forces , sweet Tim Horton 1959/1960 Parkhurst , Gordie Howe 1954/1955 Parkhurst awesome, sweet awesome Ken Dryden 1977 first team all stars, very awesome rookie Ken Dryden , nice 1968/1969 Bobby Orr, 1974/1975 Lanny Mcdonald , 1975 Peter Mcnab , will you be getting any cards off my list all years Guy Lafleur Rod Gilbert Phil Esposito Other Bobby Orrs Yvon Cournneoir Serge Savard Jacques Lemaire Steve Shutt Larry Robinson Bob Gainey Guy Lapointe Don Maloney Dave Maloney Eddie Giacomon Ron Dougay Darryl Sittler Bjores Salming Bobby Clarke Bernie Parent Mike Palamteer Marcel Dionne Butch Goring Charlie Simmer Steve Vickers Walter Tkachuck however you spell his name Ulf Nilson Nick Fotu Rick Middleton Wayne Cashman Danny Gare Rene Robert Pat Quinn any players all years?
In your comparison of Rod Gilbert and Johnny Bench, that may still be a winner of Johnny Bench, but I have never been to those areas of Canada. LOL I will definitely be getting cards of the following players on your list. Lafleur, Esposito, Orr, Savard, Lemaire, Shutt, Robinson, LaPoint, Sittler, Salming, Clark, Parent, Dionne, and probably some others that I am not yet familiar with on your list. Thanks for hanging out at the channel Mark
Rookie question since I don't know anything about hockey. Is hockey like baseball in which some teams suffer because of the market they are in? Is there an A's team in hockey?
@@CleanCheapShots, unlike baseball, hockey does not suffer because of the market. The salary cap is pretty low compared to baseball and you can’t go over like baseball. Most teams have identical payrolls. It is about getting the best players in the draft. Ha, the San Jose Sharks are bad, but they could get good fairly quickly with a couple good draft picks. If a team spends too much on a superstar, they have little left to put good players on the roster. Thanks for hanging out at the channel.
Upper Deck ruined the hobbyin 1990. I only but pre 1991 cards, Parkhurst, Topps, OPC or the the pre 1951 cards. Vintage are the best. UD flooded and ruined the market with all their foolish sub sets.
@@Firearcher4, I hear what you’re saying. As the years go by things change, some for the good a some not so good. I have learned to embrace change, because I can’t stop it. Fortunately there are plenty of cards to collect that are pre 1990 to collect. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and tuning in.
