WHAT DOES 25 BUCKS GETCHA? (Part 9) A Couple From the 70's

It's been awhile since I've posted something on my site (thanks to black friday and my vacation down to Oregon). I was able to visit friends, shop until 4am, go into food coma and of course watch a good Ducks v Beavers game (naturally I rooted for the Beavers because it reminded me of my good ol' country - Canada).

I was thinking of my blog and doing my best to keep in touch with yours as well. Today I'm going to show and tell a couple cards I picked up from eBay a couple months back. This is my second to last segment of "What Does 25 Bucks Getcha?". We'll start with one for my Goalie Project.


Looks like you didn't have to be super fit when playing net back in they day (given from Dunc's chins).


Well that cartoon tells us just how Dunc got his double chin, he worked for a brewery - go figure.

In all seriousness this card isn't in great shape, but for only a buck it was a nice add to my Goalie Project.


For some reason this card spoke to me. Again, not in great shape, horribly cut, yet, I love it! Old school Canadiens de Montreal, Bob Gainey's flowing mini fro, all the makings of a good hockey card.


Any card that has Nova Scotia on the back is a winner. Love the old school design, why can't OPC do something like this for all there base cards?

The Obsession - Secret or Social?

I've been collecting hockey cards since I was a kid in elementary school. Back on the playground other kids would bring ziploc's full of hockey cards and we would gather in a circle, sit down, and trade like professional general managers. We all had our favourite teams and players etc. The teachers would walk by and smile, maybe giving us some input if they knew about hockey at all. It was socially acceptable for a kid to be talking and bragging about hockey cards. I look back at those days and smile because, of course, high school is nothing like that.

In my school I'm considered an athlete and I'm not going to say I'm top of the charts popular but I'm certainly not your average folk (not to seem conceded). I'm fairly muscular and a sociable guy. But how would my school react if they knew I collected hockey cards - obsessively?

Being known as who I am now, would that change the way they looked at me? Would I become less of a jock and more of a nerd? The times of elementary school have passed and thinking about my career and future has been the centre focus of my life in grade 11.

Of course I wouldn't be announcing it down the hallways but a reason I started this blog was to give myself an outlet to talk to other hobbyists, something I don't have currently.

Maybe it's something I just needed to get off my chest but is it wrong to select only a few people to share my obsession with?

Personally my infatuation with hockey cards is fairly secret. I keep it to myself (and of course my readers), but is that reasonable? Is your hockey card obsession secret or social? What would your experiences collecting at my age?

Just something I needed to share.

TOP 60 CARDS (Part 6) - #35-31

I've kinda had a hockey card blogging hangover after that last post. That box break/review took me a good 3 hours in total and to be honest I've been in no mood lately to post anything. But, now I'm back at it and better than ever. Here's another top 60 for ya.

#35 - 1991-92 UD Ed Belfour (All Rookie Team) (#39)


This has always been a neat card for me, I love Belfour and I think it's cool how UD got him a jersey and threw him in a cheesy photoshoot. 

#34 - 1992-93 UD Mario Lemieux (Conn Smythe Trophy Winner) (#436)


One of the best players to ever hit the ice lifting the Stanley Cup? Of course it's in my top 60. Don't know if there are many Lemieux haters out there, but their shouldn't be. Love the pic.

#33 - 1992-93 UD Patrick Roy (#149)



I've showcased this card before and this was an auto pick when it came to my top 60. If you want to read more of what I wrote about this card click here. 

#32 - 2005-06 UD Todd Bertuzzi (#189)


I apologize for the cut off scan but this card is easily one of the most recognizable in my collection. This card brings back the best (and only the best) of memories from the Vancouver Express times. Big Bert was such a dominant force when paired with Nazzy. I can only look back and sigh... Bertuzzi had this contagious smile that infected whoever was watching when he scored. Back in the time, he was the hockey player I modelled myself after. Strong, tough (note his teeth), good hands and a fairly decent shot. Even today I model my game to his OLD game. Hard on the puck and willing to stand up for his linemate(s). 

In addition, when this happened (which was horrific to watch - again) it was my sisters first ever hockey game - go figure.

#31 - 1998-99 Black Diamond Mattius Ohlund (RC /1000) (#87)


I thought/hoped Ohlund would spend his entire career in Vancouver as he was one of my favourite d-men for the Canucks back in the day. His RC is one of my favourites and numbered to /1000. Just really like this card.

On another note, while flipping through fights I found this and it made me happy :)

BOX BREAK & REVIEW: 2011-12 Score

Panini's first low-end set of the year was released recently and a quick trip to my LCS and 40 bucks got me a box of this year's Score product. Personally, I loved last years Score (for the most part). It could have been because I hit two case hits within the three boxes I bought last year (Steve Downie and Bobby Butler HR). Or because I hit a nice SSP Hot Rookies card of Tyler Seguin, but nonetheless I loved the 20th Anniversary tribute design and even considered buying a fourth box.

So here we are again Score. We've been such a good match this past year, please don't disappoint! 

Also before I start please correct me if I'm incorrect about any information of this product. I tried my best to find accurate checklist etc.

Season Highlight (Cards 1-39)

BREAKDOWN:

Total Cards: 39 Cards
Cards Pulled: 15 Cards (3 Glossy Parallels)
Canucks Pulled: 1 Card (within the 15 cards)
Percentage Complete: 38%


I found this card the most interesting out of the Season Highlight cards. This is a subset included in the 560 card base. The idea for this subset is good and the placement (as the first 39 cards) is smart. Their not scattered throughout nor are they put last etc. The actual card design is nice and simple (as you would expect from a low-end product. The purpose of the card is to highlight key components to the season and then recognize the player. It's appropriate then, that they used a smaller font for the name.


Score also inserts a glossy parallel base card at a rate of 1:1. I personally find these parallel's useless unless you're planning to complete the glossy set and sell it, otherwise not exciting. But I did appreciate a simple help they gave on the back of cards. It's extremely difficult to tell whether a regular base card has gloss or not, so, Score put the word "Glossy" above and below the card number. Smart and helpful - thank you.

Regular Base (Cards 40-485)

BREAKDOWN:

Total Cards: 445 Cards
Cards Pulled: 196 Cards (29 Glossy and 2 Doubles)
Canucks Cards Pulled: 8 Cards (within the 196 cards)
Percentage Complete: 44%


The Score base card design changed considerably last year. Compared to last year the quality of the front of the cards has gone down. I really like the red horizontal lines that were a tribute to 1990-91 Score cards but I guess you can't have a tribute every year. I have to say, when I saw these cards on the Panini blog I was a bit disappointed, but in person they look much better. 

The negatives of the front are probably the placement of the team logo (I'd like to see it on the bottom left and a bit bigger), and the annoying continuation of the lines within the team name. I'm not sure if you can notice from the scan but within the gaps of the letters of the team name (on the left hand side) there are little colours randomly placed. This is because they decided to try and continue the line throughout the name. I don't know why this bothers me, but it does. 

The three cards above are my favourites from the base set. Hey! My first Winnipeg Jets card from 2011-12!


The backs of the base cards are the same as the Subban card I showed you from before and they are MUCH better than last years. It kinda bothered me how badly the lay out of the backs of Score was last year but they definitely improved it in 2011-12. You have all your essential from a write-up and basic info all the way to career stats.


Another type of base card inserted into the mix are the All Rookie Team player cards. I pulled a couple including the Corey Crawford. Other well known ART cards are Skinner and Eberle. Good idea and well executed. 

Another nice touch they added to the back of all Bruins cards (even though it would look even better if this were on Canucks cards) is the table of Round 4.

I do have one HUGE negative about this product though. In more than a couple packs I received either more or less than the given amount of cards per pack. I received one pack with 8 cards but the front card was brutally damaged (and thrown away). I also received a couple packs that cut me off by a card or two. In all, there were a couple cards that came damaged (severely). I was NOT impressed by that. 

Play-Off Highlights (Cards 486-500)

BREAKDOWN:

Total Cards: 15 Cards
Cards Pulled: 5 Cards (1 Glossy)
Percentage Complete: 33%


The Stanley Cup Play-Offs Highlight cards are similar to the Season Highlight cards except for the fact that well, they happened during the Play-Offs. 

Base Parallels

BREAKDOWN:

Gold Rush (1 per box)
Black Ice (1 per case)


The lone "rare" base parallel I pulled was this Gold Rush card of Paul Gaustad. This would be a very hard set to complete (to say the least). Unfortunately, I failed to pull the case hit of a Black Ice parallel that fall one in every 20 boxes (case). But I'm not to mad about it and you'll see why...

Hot Rookies (Cards 501-545)

BREAKDOWN:

Total Cards: 45 Cards
Cards Pulled: 18 Cards
Canucks Cards Pulled: 1 Card (within the 18 cards)
Percentage Complete: 40%


The Hot Rookie cards are, well, not so impressive. Borderline ugly. I think the picture as well as the name, team and logo placements are fine. On the other hand the mixed font on top as well as the interchangeably horrendous coloured background is quite disgusting. But the card could be saved if the back looks good.


Considered yourself saved Hot Rookies; the back design is excellent! DIFFERENT PICTURES that's a huge help! Secondly the vertical bar is nice and clean and well placed. The logo is in it's appropriate spot and the write ups are informative and also well placed. I originally thought that stats would be helpful, but for myself, a rookie card doesn't NEED stats.

Of course your welcome to disagree, but remember, the right player makes a card even better...


YES! Cody Hodgson! If their was one card I was looking for in this box, it's this card right here! I believe  CoHo will one day be a leader for the Canucks organization and he's a player I've always enjoyed following. That's why I started a Cody Hodgson player collection. This is my second card to be added to it, and my first (official) RC.

On another note, from the second party checklists of this product I've noticed that CoHo has two Hot Rookie cards (one being a SSP). I'm not sure if this is true, but if you know if it indeed is, please confirm it for me with a comment below! Cody also is involved in an insert set called "First Goals". My ultimate goal would be to collect all three cards (HR, SSP HR, and First Goals) plus a Hot Rookie Auto. If you have any that you're willing to trade, let me know!

But I assure you, this box get's better...

SSP Hot Rookies (Cards 546-560)

BREAKDOWN:

Total Cards: 15 Cards
Cards Pulled: 1 Cards
Percentage Complete: 7%


HOLY EFF! This is why I love you Score, you're the gift that keeps on giving! In 4 boxes in the past two years I've received 2 auto's and 2 SSP Hot Rookie cards! Plus I pulled the best out of this years class - The Nuge! Ryan was born in the same city as myself and it's great to see a hometown guy do great in his first dozen or so games this season. 


I'm still in awe I pulled this card. I went on eBay and checked out what they were selling for and was extremely pleasantly surprised to see these starting at 45$ and going all the way to 65$! Very happy with this pull!

INSERTS - Play-Off Heroes


Another nice and simple design for these inserts, player selection is something you need to be successful in this themed insert set. From only seeing two cards I can't quite judge that yet.


The back ties in well with the front, I like it.

INSERTS - Making An Entrance


This set is a dud for me. The only one I kinda like is Big Joe and that's only because of the Shark jaw behind him. Not a fan of this newly inducted insert - blah.


The back design isn't that bad excluding the obvious fact that they used the same picture twice.

INSERTS - Net Cams


My favourite insert set from last year came back! Although not quite as strong as last year. The outer design is a downgrade personally and the pictures (excluding the Quick splits) aren't as exciting.


The backs could have saved this otherwise nice insert set, but unfortunately, that's not the case. They re-used the same freaking picture! Grrrr...

INSERTS - First Goal


Now this is a new insert set that is a good idea (not that it's the first time to be done). P.K Subban isn't a shabby card to pick up, but a CoHo would have been better.


INSERTS - Sudden Death


This is more of a busier design. The theme for this insert set is GWG's in OT or Shootout. I pulled two Ducks cards and the dates on them are only two days apart.


I really think this back design is neat, the puck is a great touch.

INSERTS - The Franchise


The cards are a HUGE upgrade from last season, and they also come in retro styles. The retros include stars from the past (Steve Yzerman, Wayne Gretzky etc.). 


Probably my favourite back card design out of them all. It highlights the team before the player which goes well with the theme. As well I'm a big fan of cards that say "No. 10" instead of just a "10" or "#10".

INSERTS - NHL Die-Cut


Another new insert and the second to be Die-Cut is the NHL Logo insert. No real point, but still kinda cool.


Simple. Effective.

INSERTS NOT PULLED 

Score B
SnoGlobe
Supreme Team
The Franchise Retro

OTHER SP's

Stanley Cup Champs
Santa Claus SP's (whatever that is)
Recollection Hard-Signed Buy Backs (those are a dream pull)

FINAL BREAKDOWN

Cards Pulled: 248 Cards (2 Doubles) 
                     - 33 Glossy Parallels
                     - 10 Canucks (2 Glossy)
                     - 13 Inserts
                     - 1 Gold Rush 
                     - 4 Cards discarded due to condition (therefore total went from 252 to 248)

I really enjoyed this box break of my favourite low-end product (yes it beats Victory). A couple closing notes: will/have you bought a box? What do you think of this product? As always, if you have any CoHo's your willing to part with, contact me for a trade!

WHAT DOES 25 BUCKS GETCHA? (Part 8) The Cream of the Crop!

As the title suggests, this card is the standout of my eBay purchases. But what's odd about this card is how and why I bought it. It's something very unique in my collection and it rests as something very special in my collection. First let me set up the scenario.

At this point in my purchases I've tried scraping deals and getting mediocre cards for a fairly cheap price. I wanted to mix it up so I made a generic search of "hockey cards" and sorted them by "ending soonest". After scanning through some nice looking cards I found one that stood out to me. Not because of a multi-coloured patch or a super low numbered card, but instead it was because of the signature.


This card is also BGS graded (no clue what BGS stands for) but it's in the plastic casing with a nice number 9 on top with the word "mint" below it. What really attracted me was the gold square beside the number 9 - a 10. The square rated showed a 10/10 Beckett Autograph. From the scan above you can tell why. That is by far the classiest and most cared for signature in my collection. No sloppy or lazy letters and he even included his nickname "cat". 

If you can't tell who this card is signed by from the signature (which isn't that hard) it's signed by Emile "Cat" Francis. It's safe to say I didn't know much about this goalie from the late 40's to early 60's so with about 20 minutes before the auction ended - I did some research.

Francis' stats go back from his times with the North Battleford Beavers (N-SJHL) in 1941-42 all the way to 1959-60 with the Seattle Totems. Throughout his career he played in a variety of leagues from the NHL to USHL. Probably the most interesting fact for me personally was his stint with the Vancouver Canucks (WHL) in 1952-53. This was a pretty cool fact to stumble across and this pretty much sealed the deal.




As you can see the card is from the 2006-07 Between the Pipes set by ITG and rings in around 12 bucks BV (not graded). Does the fact that it's graded make this card even more valuable BV wise? To me it really doesn't make a difference because I did the rare act and purchased this about the BV price. You could say I really fell in love with this card. What's there not to like? A Hall-of-Fame goaltender from over half a century ago, along with his personal on card signature and graded "mint" on top of that? I'll take this card any day of the week. 


Francis in net along side Bill Gadsby on the right.


This picture is basically why Francis is in the Hall-of-Fame. He was in inducted in 1982 as a builder. In 1945 Emile was the first goalie to wear a baseball glove with a protective cuff at the wrist. Before that, goalies would were the same gloves as their team mates! Could you imagine that in the modern NHL? Goalies would have broken hands and fingers every other night. Thanks Emile!


I believe this is the exact photo that was put onto the card. "The Cat" was a back-up goalie with the Rangers after being the primary keeper in Chicago.


Finally for those of you old enough to remember (which I certainly cannot attest to) Francis was also a coach. He coached the OHA's Guelph Royals, the NY Rangers ('65-'75) and the St. Louis Blues. He was also the GM of the Hartford Whalers from 1979-1988.

Overall this card will now act as a centre piece for my collection. It's one of those rare cards from an era I can only really imagine and it makes me appreciate this great games history. If it wasn't for guys like Emile "The Cat" Francis, who knows what our NHL would be like?
