🔴You can now purchase an RTH Pack! With only 50 available, quantities are limited. Canada only for now! Update: I decided to add more value and include several insert cards in every pack! I appreciate the support so far, I didn't expect this much interest 🙌🏼 therthcompany.com/

[@sportsfix6975]

I've watched about 4 different channels and EVERY one of them has pulled Beniers and Powers and Rossi etc...wondering if they're not as short printed as they usually are...

[@Swoop187OG187]

I flip hockey cards for a living... I do vintage baseball too but mostly hockey cards... I've been collecting mu entire life... I started back in 1987 as a kid and got out of it in the late 90's (I didn't want to be the "dork" around the ladies, lol) but then I just got back into it in 2016... I pulled a Matthews YG in the first pack I opened in 20 years....Then I bought a blaster and got the "jumbo Matthews"..... Yea, this is where I belong, lol.... I love what I do now... I love all of the collectors - they're awesome and the community is fantastic - it's just wonderful.....

[@freethinker3161]

I love that you're packages resemble the same packages my Edibles come in.

[@itzdeacon2491]

I went to a local convenience store and I bought 3 hobby packs. Pulled a Rossi clear cut YG. Was stoked, even got my reaction on camera.

[@robtalkshockeycards]

That’s insane!

[@natedogg8603]

Thanks for saying what we are all thinking @ 19:20. I’m glad you did pretty good on the case. Beniers value is going to only go up.

[@emiliebertrand-rs9pt]

Thank you. I just started collecting and your video is very informative

[@CentTV]

Do you have an eBay store and are u selling the Christiansen by chance I really like Columbus and pc them.

[@healthyhobbycardaddiction4919]

wow what a start!

[@pnshr88]

You mean short like 5'7 Cole Caufield or Alex DeBrincat? Or Henri Richard 5'7 also?

[@hnuggets6638]

I GOT A CLEAR CUT OF BOLDY AND A HIGH GLOSS MATT

[@Turn140]

Rob you should add this channel to your main channel under the channels tab. Make it easier for people to find it.

[@poopypooporson1267]

I love when rth uploads!

[@nickromano8851]

$1,400 minus actual selling price which is around 20% below estimated value minus selling fees if selling on ebay so maybe you get $800 to $900 back

[@robtalkshockeycards]

For sure. I sent in the tops cards from this break into grading. Im going to do a series 2 case break next week where I’ll also go over the grades 🤘🏼

[@michaelcarroca9181]

Wasn't Theo fleury 5/6 with skates ?

[@Turn140]

That clear cut Jamie benn was sick 😫

[@sprumm]

Just bought, looking forward to it! I'll send some cards back your way as well. Cheers

[@robtalkshockeycards]

Thanks buddy! Much appreciated

Bro you buy cases to make profit, that last statement is crazyyy, if you buy looses boxes 99% of the time you money.

[@clintmorin4974]

That's what I was thinking, and have been doing for almost 20 years now. Haven't lost a bundle on a case yet. Of course send the hot rookies in for grading to increase the value. After 20 years, if I can't profit from a case, I'm doing something wrong.

[@Pariah_Larry]

That first and second box were crazy

[@JimBenningIsAMoron]

I bought a pack from you Rob please give me good luck lol

I've been doing KZbin for 3+ years and 99.9% it's a loss. Now I just opened my first hokey pack last week so it's a new endeavor. But Pokémon, Football, Basketball, Baseball is all set up that generally only 8-12% of total box's will profit and less than that will cover the cost of the box.

[@chunter3882]

Dave and Adams have cases of this for $1,150. Thanks for taking the time to make a video for us!!

ive opened like 1,000 packs and never got matt boldy (aiming for) and ude pulls it in like the 5th pack

Fire vid bud and awsome pulls 🔥 but yeah like you say you need that 1 card to be in the green a little bit .. that said it was a still a solid case 🔥

Bought a pack man, excited to see what I pull 🤞

Do you want to purchase something?

You missed a J.T miler french variant

[@mchammer1809]

Just bought a pack 👍 send me a little special kiss with it

[@robtalkshockeycards]

You the man, thank you for the support!

[@trishamiller589]

hey, just started collecting. how can you tell the prices of your pulls? do you literally just look it up on ebay or something?

[@robtalkshockeycards]

Ebay has a filter for recent sales. Look up the card you pulled and click that filter

[@leapheap6837]

Those cards look sick. Congratulations on your cards. Should I buy a case of this or wait for series 2?

[@sportsfix6975]

Too bad it's not possible to collect EVERY Hathaway base card....nobody would be able to complete a set, and it would skyrocket in value!😆

[@DustyAllStar9]

Big pack rips bud

Bro my fav player was Kesler too😭😭

[@kieraCobbs]

I’m getting into cards what packs should I buy or boxes on a cheap budget?

[@robtalkshockeycards]

Unfortunately prices have been shooting up, but your best bet are these Series 1 boxes that retail for ~$130 CAD depending on where you are located. They also release "retail products" which are in walmart. You can pick up tins or boxes for around ~$30 which are decent

[@kieraCobbs]

Ok thanks I’m in America so i don’t know if it will be in stock at Walmart but thanks a lot

[@collectibles4u]

Do you ship to the US?

[@robtalkshockeycards]

Yes!

[@RaySarasin]

I disagree if you sent about 15 cards to grade you would find about est 4 to 5 thousand dollars just saying

[@robtalkshockeycards]

For sure! there is far more potential in sending cards in for grading. But I wanted to remove that factor because you never know what quality of a card you get, or how lucky you will get with the grader

[@robpische519]

Ok i would ve done 21 22

[@anthonyd1854]

Ha love how you had to clarify not to make fun of you saying trevor zegras. Thats my fault lol

[@robtalkshockeycards]

😂

[@Bluelineclapper312]

I dunno bud. I don't think I'd ever spend 1600 on a case I'd rather mix and match nice pulls though.

[@jonpitcher9104]

You sound just like a nhl KZbin I use to use

[@robtalkshockeycards]

I think that's because it is me who you watched :o

[@DiamondDangles]

$60 damn I would’ve bought if they were like $30 lol

[@robtalkshockeycards]

I plan on releasing $30 packs in the near future! This first batch is a test trial : )

[@TheDjcorey19]

So how many people got the Kurashev joke?

[@gomesyontube]

Loss now, but who knows of what the future holds...

[@davefortier]

Bet you ended up losing more than you’re saying if you actually try to sell.

[@robtalkshockeycards]

For sure. It is very tedious and time consuming to sell that many singles. It's not worth the gamble if you are looking for profit

[@davefortier]

@@robtalkshockeycards yep she’s a tough gig. No sense wasting money on boxes and cases in my view.

[@jordanlibke]

Lol "did I make profit" what happened to people being happy to find their favorite teams and players opening packs now it's ONLY "did I make profit" people sending in cards that will never be rare to get graded making it nearly impossible to send a card In that's worth it to get graded...

[@robtalkshockeycards]

Agreed, I even say that in the video. But being that I am starting up a card business and I have a business school background, I am very interested in the economics of opening a case.

[@jordanlibke]

@@robtalkshockeycards I started to get back into collecting hockey cards but once I realized it's impossible to get alot of packs because people come in buy as many ad they can and leave the scraps behind to make a profit... when I realized how greedy the market had gotten it took all the interest and fun out of it.

[@robtalkshockeycards]

@@jordanlibke I understand what you're saying, but that has more to do with the pandemic shortening the supply. In the past products are typically readily available, but haeven't been because of Covid. It'll bounce back though!

[@jordanlibke]

@@robtalkshockeycards no i noticed it before covid was ever a thing. The ones in it for profit l are ruining it for the collectors imop.

[@robtalkshockeycards]

@@jordanlibke Yeah I see where you're coming from. To each your own though. I enjoy opening boxes for content and keeping cards I want in my personal collection. I recommend buying singles of the cards people want

[@Boston_MapleLeafs]

you lost about $900 which I lost in 2 of the 3 cases I opened. Wait 3 years and you will make $500 off your case lmao guaranteed

[@Skyshadow733]

Dont do pokemon card style opening, it takes way long and its dumb to go thru base cards till end. Get to hit and move on yo

[@robtalkshockeycards]

Haha fair

[@Wearynice]

Man just opened a full case in 18min if you take out the intro and the recap.. most youtubers take 18 min for 1 box 😅

[@stevedamien638]

People make fun of you for pronouncing name wrong because of your heavy accent?thats not fair bro. They should make fun of you for spending 1600$ for a this year upper deck cards boxes. Cheaper to buy the key cards graded 9-10 on Ebay. I guess in your area woods is too rare to find for the fireplace,cards will do.

[@robtalkshockeycards]

You are not wrong Steve

@@robtalkshockeycards I try not buddy but hey to each its own. You work for your money I work for mine, At the end of the day we do what we want with it. Thx for sharing your passion here.

[@carletonrutherford1799]

14:18 I think the only people buying boxes, and cases are KZbinrs, for content. I can't imagine regular Joes buying them hoping for a pull. I would imagine, like I do, most people will just buy the card they want, rather than buying boxes hoping to pull it. Especially with the cost of them nowadays.

[@robtalkshockeycards]

agreed!
