Lol .....

Comrie Rookies today?

Titanium - $4.00
SPA - $1.00

The Hedburg is about $1.50 tops Tanguay - $3.00

[Frendo]

Aww...nostalgia!
I remeber those Titanium / Ice with Hedberg would be selling for +$80 after the playoff-01 when
Pens lost to NJD in the conference finals.

I couldn't afford all those Hedbergs then even his /10 or /1 expo cards got ridiculously expensive also, I can
recall that his 01-02 BTP Future Wave /22 got over +$350 or it was $450...but it was really crazy then with his cards during 2001-2003.

Hedberg Ice /1500 remains still quite popular even today but of course much cheaper at $3-$8.

But it is EVEN worser in nowadays with allt hose crazy prices with ARP's even for a C-tier, D-tier, E-tier or even F-tier rookies who sells for ridiculously
prices, but the truth is that almost only ARP's with Crosby, Lundqvist and Malkin are worthly to buying while the rest are a huge waste of moneys IMO.

So true. At least 9 out of 10 times it will be worth way less money down the road.

The other cards the same thing.

The Chris Drury UD Rookie listed here at $12.00 does not sell. Period. People don't even want it as a gift. The Elias Zenith Rookie listed here at $40.00, sells for $1.00 if you can actually find somebody that collects Elias.

There are about 4 Elias collectors in the World, and each of them have just about everything. Elias is shunned by the Hobby like Amonte and Pronger are.

Its good to see Hillary Duff was once a popular player in the NHL.

Weird how some players just don't get any love, Elias has been exceptional, especially in the play-offs and is still playing well for seems like 20 years...the Nuge on the other hand, oy! shoulder injuries are a really bad deal, if ever surgery is required, one is lucky to get 85% of strength back...

This reminds me of my greatest eBay flip: I won an Elias Z-Gold /100 for $1 (I think it was misspelled or something to fall through the cracks) and flipped it a couple of months later for a $120 BIN. Ah, those were the days!

Wow! That's crazy. Congrats on the money you made.
