@yanxchick A5: 2005-06 Upper Deck Series 2, that I paid $50 for at a show in 2009ish. I got the Ovi YG, an Ovi Rookie Threads, both the Ovi & Crosby Victory RCs & a whole bunch of jealous eye lasers shot at me from the others across the table. Great day! #cardchat

@yanxchick A4: About 4 weeks before the National I think. I didn't buy any wax there this year and I was proud of myself. #cardchat

@yanxchick A3: Upper Deck MVP, S1, and usually S2. So yes. #cardchat

@yanxchick A2: Last year was the least I bought and opened ever. This year is even least-er. #cardchat

@yanxchick A1: Zero interest so no. #cardchat

@NHL_On_TNT broadcast comparing Tage to Mario will never not be hilarious. Okay, fellas. Settle down. #DrunkOnTV

Have to say I've been to quite a few hockey arenas & the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas is INTENSE. Never heard a place so loud!! (Except old Chicago Stadium).

@yanxchick You're doing the lord's work! I keep getting tempted on those top loader binders for my Eric Tangradi PC but they only ever say 35pt., & I have way more thicker ones than thinner. I'm just fed up with keeping that collection in a 2-row shoebox. It needs to be looked at.

Happy 60th, Le Magnifique!

ESPN uses guerrilla marketing like this deliberately to get people talking (good or bad), click links, keep their name front of mind, tune in to "see what happens next", etc. If Ben McDonald has zero interest in his employers $2.8B 🏒 investment, so what? Its not that serious.

Price Guides. We hated em, didn't trust em & thought they were BS. But we all used em & still coexisted together in our collective ignorant bliss. Now, we argue over if a 2AM online sale in Tampa sets the market for the same card at a weekend show in Detroit 2-months later.

@CBJ_Flex Absolutely cool. I can't think of a single other time where a player already announced retirement, signed back with their original team to "unretire" in that uni...AND suit up for a game. Team said he'll play one period tonight. Don't know which. Should be on NHL Network.

When your most anticipated game of the year is a pre-season game in late September with a division opponent who also missed the playoffs last year, you know it's going to be a great season! #FlowerPower

Geno and Flower banter. Just like old times 🫶

[Pittsburgh Penguins @penguins]

Volume 🆙 for Flower.

@eshecker Happening everywhere. 🏈, ⚾️ & 🏀are all declining. 🏒 virtually non-existent. Popular school sports now are golf, co-ed volleyball, robotics, & gaming. Parents don't want their kids to have to work (nor do the kids) or risk injury but still one day make it & maybe buy them a🏠.

@yanxchick A5: I have a pretty extensive collection of lists. If it doesn't appear on any of those, I'm probably not getting it...unless it's vintage, a steal, & drool worthy. #cardchat
