Facebook marketplace Finds

[vikesfan40]

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to share a find I had today on facebook marketplace. I found a guy selling his 4000 count hockey collection that he didn't know what was in it and he just wanted to get rid of it. I offered him 20 bucks and he took it. I bought it pretty much to see if any PC stuff was in it and heres what I found.

65 PC cards highlighted by a ed belfour RC
Lindros score RC x4
Brouder score RCx3
Jagr score RC x 4
Multiple star rookies of everyone from the early 90s
Roberto Luango Aurora RC
Hossa Omega RC
Crosby and OVI Sports Illistratued for Kids RCs
Kamil Piros OPeeChee prospects red /100
Markus Naslund OPeeChee light blue /500
Gaborik 04Prizm blue / 325
Pierre Turgeon Titanium red /299
Justin Williams Bowman GU
Paul Kariya Power Play GU
plus multiple star player cards and second year cards of star players.
plus 100 or so top loaders.

I figured for 20 bucks its not a bad haul and was curious if anyone has any cool finds or stories about buying cards or collections of people that didn't know what was in it.

Cant pass on that price.

Thats what I figured, plus I usually don't buy boxes or random stuff for hockey like this as I only collect certain players but I figured for 20 bucks at the very least I would be a nights worth of entertainment going through the cards to see whats in it.

Cant pass on that price.

Nice finds. I don't buy in bulk, but hearing these stories are very cool. Even if it's nothing massive, paying $20 for a huge collection of cards (and sorting through them all) would be a blast!

Kinda sorta related, but I posted in a large Facebook group that I collected Enroth when I was new to the hockey card universe that existed on Facebook. I then discovered a few more Enroth collectors that I didn't know were out there (because how many could there be,really?). Some of them had some great cards of his, including this beast I was able to luckily snag. Up until that point, I had no idea this card had even been pulled/redeemed, so imagine my surpise when a guy said he had this:



Reasons like this is why you need to keep advertising that you collect your PC player. You just never know who's going to have a card you need...

Wow that a beauty of a card, I usually don't post on facebook about my collecting stuff just because I am in north dakota. Theres not many collectors out here and the ones that are usually pc what I do. Fun to talk stuff when I see them but not many deals to be made when everyone is collecting the same thing.

Is collecting on Facebook a major thing? I'm perhaps the last person on earth to still not have a Facebook account, and really don't want one, but I also don't want to miss out.

Yes, it's quite big. A lot of good groups for trading, selling, buying, razzing, and breaking
