The Oilers did not touch the Western Conference Trophy, they treated it like it had leprosy. The Hockey Hall of Fame is the best Hall of Fame of all the pro sports. It is a must go to if you are in Toronto. Dedicate an entire day there, it is worth it. I'm a huge fan of the Clear Cut Series. Beautiful cards with hard signed autos, what's not to like? Like you Josh I love the red and blue canvas autos, especially the rookies. I also love the rookie debut auto /10. I was fortunate enough to get the Cale Makar Rookie red ink jersey number 8/8, UD nailed it with the picture of Makar in the alt uniform. Sadly he doesn't have a rookie auto debut auto /10, not sure why Upper Deck didn't make one for him. Regarding Clear Cut being a risky product it's no more risky then buying Ultimate, Premier even worse Black Diamond and only getting only 1 auto (sticker auto with Black Diamond) along with 3 or 4 other worthless cards at double to triple the cost. You can get could get roughly 3 boxes of Clear Cut for the same cost and get 3 hard signed autos. So if the Clear Cut boxes are duds at least you have 3 hard signed autos vs 1. A Mcdavid Emerald Surge Auto was listed on ebay forever for $25k and it finally sold last week (allegedly). I can't see at the moment what it actually sold for and not showing up on 130point so maybe it was just taken down. Im thinking the McDavid non auto Emerald Surge goes for 10k at most.

Thanks for chiming in....your Makar red ink auto is a monster!

@@hockeycardsgongshow Thanks for the compliment. Yeah I won it on an ebay auction a few years ago. Also appreciate the shout out you gave my alias.

Is Bedard’s UD Canvas truly the first “meme” card of the hockey hobby?

[@sportsfix6975]

Ask that listener who opened all that extended how many 2002-02 retro YGs he got....I haven't seen one ripped yet!

[@sportsfix6975]

Thats Tony Tanti in the background of Hasek rookie card, btw my card store has like 100 boxes of 90 score for $20 a box

They're called cottages in Michigan, too.

The California Seals franchise became the Cleveland Barons in 1976, who only lasted 2 years in the league and those players went to a familiar team in the USA, hmm, you might have heard of the Minnesota North Stars.

[@hockeycardsgongshow]

Oh yeah....duh....thanks Bobby!

[@brucephilipson3109]

I opened a case of Extended and really enjoyed it. I got 2 exclusives, 3 deluxe and 4 clearcut so it seems to me that the print run must be down from S1/2. I like most of the inserts and didn't get many dupes. I got 5 numbered inserts but no particularly exciting players. My best hit was an Outburst Fantilli YG. I agree the price is high but the fun was high too, so I'm not upset. Oh, and I got about 7 different Bedards (but nothing SUPER rare other than maybe the Black Diamond.) I definitely prefer this over S1/2.

[@hockeycardsgongshow]

Sounds like a great case! Appreciate you sharing your experience.

[@sportsfix6975]

Did you get ANY 2001-02 retro YGs of any player?

[@bobbydice8934]

In the last episode stickers autos were discussed. I completely agree, sticker autos are trash. The player either signed the card OR the sticker but he didn't do both. Also, for less than $200 you can have the Center Ice package and see almost every NHL game and could see McDavid play all the time.

[@hockeycardsgongshow]

I understand about the Center Ice Package but the NBA or NFL do not put their stars behind paywalls. They put them on national TV on Christmas Day.

[@bobbydice8934]

@@hockeycardsgongshow I agree, the NHL does do a terrible job marketing their best player in McDavid. I don't understand why the NHL hates to market any player on a Canadian team. If McDavid played for a team in the States he would be a household name like Cindy is.

[@SportscardsSweden]

Good pronounciation on Joonas! 👍😀 Great epsiode as always!

[@hockeycardsgongshow]

Thanks! We get lucky every now and again lol

[@KungFury69]

Thanks for having the Loud Collector on, but I love shows with just you two. Loud Phil is only good in very small doses.

[@hockeycardsgongshow]

Appreciate the feedback and thanks for being a supporter of the show! We love Phil and we have a lot of fun doing the show with him. Stay tuned as we continue to evolve and aim to make the best show possible for you and the rest of the hobby. At the end of the day, no matter the cast of characters, Troy and I started this together and we'll never go too long without making shows with just us. We gotta mix things up now and again though too.

[@RCA_Dome]

Just as great with all 3
