LoL ... then you can enjoy your hobby with with about 5% of the collecting population. I know it is hard to understand, but ill try and put this the simplest way for you:
1) - As said in this thread, the hobby is much more expensive now
2) - To counter that, many people buy and sell hockey cards. Why? Well, if we know hockey, love hockey ... and already collect hockey, why wouldnt want to try and make a small amount of money off the hobby to feed the hobby. If we could all do this for a living, im sure a lot of us would. Do what you love, right?
Sorry we all dont live up to your collecting standards, but something tells me youre a solid 25 years behind when it comes to how this hobby is evolving anyways. Dont worry though, ill make sure to shoot you a PM when McDavid Cup rookies can be had for $100, or is that still too much for you? Someone so dedicated and true to this hobby, could he fork out $100 for the best rookie of a generational player? Nah ..... thats still a bit too high for the TRUE hobbyists.*** Main PC - Roberto Luongo ***

I think good things are being done with the Tim Horton's and Canadian Tire card sets...

A couple of people have said that. I didn't think of them when making the post because those are Canada only products (as far as I know). I was thinking in terms of universal, worldwide products.

Agreed! I think affordable options like these, coupled with the ease of access to these types of products is what makes it so great for the hobby IMO.Jhonas Enroth Card Collector & Host of the Hidden Content

Agreed, nice looking cards and it was relatively easy to complete both sets.The want list at this link features what I need of Gretzky, Roy, Ottawa Senators, and Miscellaneous sets. I also have a CFL want list on my page and if you have nothing from it I will consider other traders of current Ottawa Senators,Guy Lafleur, + trade bait.

I wish we had more food product/oddball sets up for collecting. Anyone remember the Frito Lay hockey cards that used to come in the bags of chips? My friends and I would argue over the value of the cards that were still in the cellophane wrap compared to those that were opened. Those cards were great and easy to collect but a little hard on the waistline ...
