A Fun Way to Collect Junk Wax Rookie Cards
Nov 12th
By Richard Mock aka Paintball
The fun in collecting rookie cards is of course to predict who the future hall of famers will be and to collect the rookie cards of these future stars before they become out of reach in price. In today’s market, this is becoming very hard to do because the rookie cards of those players that everyone thinks have future hall of fame potential start off with very high price tags. I have discovered another fun thing to do with the rookie cards of players who now have a lock into the hall of fame. I have More >
The Big Goalie Contract: Securing Long-Term Success or Financial Albatross?
Nov 11th

Nashville Has Their ManThe recent signing of Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne to a 7-year, $49M extension with the club has ignited considerable discussion regarding the role and value to a team’s success. After going through a lull in the market in recent years, it appears as though goalies are back as a high priority for a team looking to achieve lasting success in the NHL. There have been several large contracts awarded to netminders in recent months, and this seems to indicate that the days of teams thinking they can get by with average More >
Can the Habs Save Their Season?
Nov 9th
by RGM81 aka Richard McAdam
There was so much optimism going into this year. Carey Price was coming off a career year. P.K. Subban was going to improve on his rookie campaign in which he tied a Habs’ team record for goals by a freshman blueliner. Max Pacioretty would be back stronger than ever. Scott Gomez couldn’t possibly be as bad as he was in 2010-11. Andrei Markov would finally return to quarterback the power play and stabilize a defence corps that had over a dozen guys play the point for the Habs in ’10-’11. And of course, the greatest false More >
Teen Card Collecting Struggles
Nov 9th
By Matthew Ferreira aka Ferrari5515
This isn’t the first time I’ve written an article for one of these contests. If you recall, a while ago I wrote an article about teen card collecting, and even though my article was passed the submission date, it still got tremendous feedback. Let me explain… I’m 15 years old and got heavily into card collecting in the last month. I was doing almost all TTMs, until I recently started to buy small packs and boxes. Recently I bought a box of Topps Chrome Blaster. I had high hopes for this box, as it was the More >
Panini Really Captured The Spirit of the Thing.
Nov 3rd
By Sean McCafferty aka 30ranfordfan
If the play on Dickie Dunn’s immortal words in the title was lost on you, you probably won’t get. If you’ve never described a penalty as “two minutes, by yourself, you feel shame, and then you get free” you might roll your eyes as your read on. If the words “criminal element” don’t immediately make you think of Ogie Ogilthorpe, some of Panini’s best ideas this year were probably an afterthought for you.
If you’ve ever shouted at a friend, while he’s grabbing you a drink “none of that stinkin’ root beer!” I suspect you’ll shortly be More >
Way to Go NBA!
Nov 2nd
By Stephen Duell aka Spuds1961
First off, let me preface this by saying I’m not too big of a basketball fan to begin with, but these guys are just plain stupid.
I find it hard to sympathize with owners or players who have never worked an honest day of hard work in their lives. The NFL was on the brink of a long strike but in the end they got it right and reached a settlement, way to go NFL! Football is also one of my favorite sports so I was glad to see they salvaged their season. The NBA on the More >
