I sold 5 Wayne Gretzky rookie cards for $25 before I ever knew that they were worth any money. Condition would have been pretty bad. But will regret that forever

How did you come to acquire 5 Gretzky rookie cards in the first place?

I collected them huge as a kid and we were going to the states at a show and I thought I would bring some cards to sell or trade. At that time I had no idea the value of the cards, I was a kid still. They would have been in pretty bad shape after playing topsies with them and other card games

I heard the horror stories of topsies. As a card collecting child, they made me cringe so hard. Did you know who Gretzky was? Did you know they were rookie cards?

yes I knew who Gretzky was, I hated him right from the start lol. Yes I knew they were rookie cards. I still have a set with Patrick Roy rookie card and Mario Lemieux 2nd year. Complete set. I still have Mike bossy Rookie Cards and Ron Francis Rookie Card and Joe Mullen Rookie card

I have a 3 or 4 Phil Kessel rookie cards if that's the same thing

You know what I did when I was around 6-7 years old with my hockey cards?

I created a "puck" out of paper and had a bunch of cards lined up and played "table top" hockey with them. I used the cards like action figures. 

It was fun. Flicking the cards at the paper puck, scoring goals against myself. I did this on a couch.

I ruined quite a few.

No idea which ones. Who knows, might've been a rookie Gretzky or Lemieux in there.

But I had fun.

Can't get rich now.

But I had fun.

I pretended I was Dallas Drake by taking his hockey card and making it try and take a shot and fail on a puppet talk show. True story. Also I did this at 2am, shooting it randomly in the University with some creepy guy in a jacket.

Before that, we put up sign up sheets to star in a movie. We both showed up wearing our leather jackets and sat in the main traffic hallway. The sign read: "Wanted: 1 Guy and 1 Girl for Film."

We got a lot of looks. We also got about 4 times the amount of signatures when we actually walked away from the sign-up sheet.

May as well bring this back with one of the saddest offers I've seen.

To
25 Nicklas Lidstrom 94 D 17 YR
22 Chris Osgood 88 G 16 YR

To
Patrick Roy 95 G 9 YR
Chris Pronger 92 D 18 YR

My homeboy Roy is a casual throw in nowadays.

"What would it take to get Lidstrom?" I responded.

[Colorado Avalanche]

For all of you inquiring about Sundin, I want this kind of overpayment. Give me a 95 for free please

[xx - Former Calgary Flames]

Wow, it's as if people have more sentimental value to a player than actual value. Imagine that!

[Buffalo Sabres]

Fuck the police
