Man I found a pile of 80s opee chee hockey I need to go through them again they are mint ones. I just don't know hockey stars besides like Gretzky and messier few of main ones so could be gem hiding.

Great. And I haven't collected hockey cards for 30 years. Frustrated that I gave all mine away years ago.

[keyworkheretic]

These are so easy to find in every hockey collection and nobody has any idea the money they're pushing aside because hockey's not cool in the US lol
