Happy Thanksgiving everyone !!

While I have a few hours off the ice I figured I'd just blab a little about a couple of random things.

The comments I have been hearing regarding the staggeringly low book/resale prices on this year's Cup and Dominion are overwhelming. Several clients have wondered aloud as to whether or not buying these products are really worth it.

My response to them is simple, what are you hoping to get or do with your product ...

I had a few minutes so I thought I'd offer up some observations on this year's Cup and the new Panini Dominion products. First, you already know that I feel we got scammed pretty good on The Cup with the so-called 'limited' product. Strangely I just received an email from a supplier saying they had stock on Cup even though my 12 tin preorder never got filled

Anyway, it seems that Cup cards with the exception of the big names or some 1 of 1's aren't selling very well. ...

On a bigger scale. but different means, ...

Well 2010-11 Upper Deck The Cup has hit the markets. This product is probably the most sought after and anticipated hockey item every year despite being released long after the actual season has ended.

The big deal is the so-called 'limited' product allocation. Every year we hear that it is going to be more limited and harder to get This year's release has the same serial-numbered base cards out of 249 so how can it be limited ? The autos/patches are all still numbered the ...

Well this is sort of a venting, ranting and pressure relief blog. As most of you know this year's version of Upper Deck's The Cup just came out to much anticipation. WHOOPEE This has proved to be more of a pain in the butt then a hobby happy moment.
First my two case preorder didn't happen and I only received 2 stinking tins I tried to locate extra tins after getting screwed by my so-called distributor and was successful and then unsuccessful How can ...
