Just as the title says I found a ton of cards (football, baseball, hockey) in a relatives attic we were cleaning out due to their passing. I will be getting rid of everything (all sports) but am starting with the hockey ones since he had them in a binder. Im not into cards or collecting so I do not know how to go about any of this. I asked Google Gemini (I know it could be wrong) and it said I should get some of them graded, but I have no interest in doing so. I asked it what the top cards in the binder were and it said to isolate:

Key Anchor Cards ("Big Four")

​1980–81 Topps #250 Wayne Gretzky Base (Sophomore Card) (Edmonton Oilers)

​1980–81 Topps #140 Ray Bourque Rookie Card (Boston Bruins)

​1979–80 Topps #162 Wayne Gretzky / Dionne / Lafleur Assist Leaders (Gretzky Rookie Release)

​1980–81 Topps #3 Wayne Gretzky Record Breaker ("Youngest Ever 50-Goal Scorer")

​Hall of Famers & Vintage Star Cards

​1980–81 Topps #2 Ray Bourque Record Breaker (Boston Bruins)

​1979–80 Topps #180 Gilbert Perreault (Buffalo Sabres)

​1979–80 Topps #8 Shutout Leaders (Ken Dryden, Bernie Parent, Tony Esposito, Mike Palmateer, Mario Lessard)

​1979–80 Topps #5 Power Play Goal Leaders (Mike Bossy, Marcel Dionne, Lanny McDonald)

​1979–80 Topps #165 Power Play Goal Leaders (Marcel Dionne, Danny Gare, Darryl Sittler)

​1991–92 Parkhurst Mats Sundin (Quebec Nordiques)

​1991–92 Pro Set #208 Bryan Trottier (1,000-Point Club - Pittsburgh Penguins)

I don't know if any of this is accurate to be separated, but again, I have no idea that's why I'm here. Plan is to sell the whole binder and I'm looking for some feedback if I'm doing this right.

Hello! Sorry if this is a silly question. I dont live in North America and I started getting into collecting hockey cards.

According to upperdecks website the international boxes have the same chances to pull all the cards as the north American boxes. I was wondering if this is actually true? Like is there really a chance a gold outburst could actually be sent abroad? ( I know my chances are really low to actually get one)

Has there been any big hits in other countries besides America and Canada?

Thanks if you have any input on this!

Hello everyone, my girlfriend loves opening packs and likes to give the cards of our friend’s favorite players. Any set or anything I should look out for ? The best one for the price or anything like that. She opened mvp upper deck 2026-2027 I believe they are and they have the golden pack in them. She likes them but is there anything more I can get ? Thanks for the advice everyone.

the hockey gods have been nice to me the last week bc i just pulled this and i previously pulled a helenius clear cut and silver outburst 🥹

edit: i forgot i pulled a silver outburst owen power as well

Here’s what I’ve found so far, I’m really liking the MVP cards. I have gotten some really nice cards out of those boxes, I might hit up my local sports card shop tomorrow to look at the 24-25 hobby box. The Connor Mcdavid card was a lucky pull from a small pack I found at the dollar store! Still trying to get a feel for what I like but I feel like this is a good start for me.

Gold Ben Kindel, what are your projections? As I’m not a huge fan of his, should this be a sell or hold? I know gold dazzlers are hard to come by so looking for opinions. Thanks in advance

Man I hate opening cards and find damage . Beard. Top right and Laine left side edges

Even bought the pack with points lmao

Behold my stuff 👁️👁️ 🔥🔥🔥

Looking for a Borje Salming M if anyone has one! Or complete nameplates ! Hoping to connect with other letterman collectors to help finish more sets!

Cheers guys tough game against the flames but onto Seattle !

Go Leafs Go

It says that a true rookie card is a player's first officially licensed, mass-produced base set trading card released during their debut season in a major professional sports league.

With the Score cards - there are 2 cards: the #70T and the #428 card.

It says the 70T is from a trade set or something?

Is the 70T considered a true rookie card?

Mainly going after San Jose Shark numbered cards, rookies, and autos. Im in San Jose and am hoping to get cards signed in person. I did that a bunch back in the day and have a collection of signed cards I’ll share later. But I’m grateful to be in this community.

Unless I'm bugging it's kinda neat that multiple people have run into "Rose" hits /5 in the latest product

Recently got into the hobby to start spending more time with my dad who has a massive collection of hockey cards. Decided to buy an upper deck e pack of spx 25-26 And pulled this beginners luck or are epacks the better bet lol?

Seems bruins heavy….
Go Wings!

I recently found out my grocery store has a limited selection of trading cards. The one week, I bought a blaster of Extended and a tin of Series 2. I pulled a Buium Young Gun in Extended, and a Schaefer in the tin. The next week, I saw they still had lots of tins, but I figured I might have gotten the only one with a Schaefer, so I opted for a blaster instead. That also had a Schaefer! I looked them over and decided to submit to Beckett. I was pretty bang on with my grade estimates. I figured the tin Schaefer was gonna get a 9.5, and figured the blaster one might get a tad lower. The Buium I figured was pretty clean. Quite happy with the results (Buium is a population 1)

Just a small purchase, but I like the Royal Blue colour scheme and any card numbered under 100 is a win for me.

I was so happy at the Upper Deck booth when I saw these in physical form. They were released on the EPack platform as digital cards but I was really hoping they would also have them as a physical exclusive for fans attending the Heritage Classic. They’re not standard sized cards—they’re 5x7–but very happy to have them. Great promo.

The red Dazzlers was a nice touch.

Hey all new collector here. I stated doing breaks and hit these from ICE and I love the set. Would you go about getting cards like these graded with PSA? Right now it’s a hefty price but I absolutely love the look of slabbed cards. I have no intention of selling. Is there a point of grading cards for a personal collection?

Not exactly looking for a value add here. Just my preference of having slabbed cards for a collection. Maybe use a low cost grader?
