Wich hockey card box should I buy for about $60?

Question

I am a big avalanche fan, so I would like to buy a box from the days when they had borque blake forsberg roy sakic.

thanks

Answer 1

Wings : they're worth much more than your Bob Rouse 12th yr card in ran-it-through-the-bike-spokes damaged condition.

To answer your question Tom, when you buy a box you're gonna get an assortment throughout the packs. Check ebay, you might be able to get TEAM SETS, so that you don't have to see cards of guys like Mark Fitzpatrick and Jamie Baker lol.

RedWings: at least I'm proud of my heritage. the puck stops here dude.

Answer 2

I <3 RedWingsDynasty.  Not only because he loves the Wings, but mostly because he mentioned Vinny Wet House lol.

To the OP: why buy hockey cards at all?  Is there any value left in the collectible card market nowadays?  If you really want some hockey cards especially those of your favorite team during a time period I would check on eBay.  They might have a collection of Avs players from Topps 1999 or something like that cheaper than you could buy a box and not get who you wanted.

Answer 3

Scott- no there is not much value in cards these days but that is exactly when you should be buying. Another boom cycle will always come back around.

But get Sakic for sure. Roy will probably also be quite valuable in the future.

Answer 4

I don't recognize any of those names.  I'm not sure any of those would be worth much.

Habs:  Funny that you mention Bob Rouse, who was arguably the worst player the Wings have had in the last 15 years.   Aren't you forgetting an NHL hall of famer or two?  Or 10?  Could you name a Habs player of the same era more notable than the likes of Steve Yzerman, Brett Hull, Brendan Shanahan, Chris Osgood, Dominik Hasek, Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterberg, Luc Robitaille (don't consider him a Red Wing, but I don't consider Rob Blake an Av either), Pat Verbeek, Nicklas Lidstrom, Chris Chelios, Paul Coffey, or Sergei Fedorov?  Who do you boast, Saku Koivu and Vincent Damphousse?  Shayne Corson and his handful of all-star caliber seasons?  I hope you don't bring up Patrick Roy's days as a Habs goaltender.  Some unpleasant 12 goal game memories might surface and rain sadness upon your little French brain.
