A lot of people I know used to collect hockey cards as a kid but stopped collecting after the industry meltdown of the early 1990’s. Being in the sports card industry, I am surprised how many former collectors have no idea on the changes that have been made in the industry. I get a lot of questions about how cards are sold these days and what’s out there to collect. Many people do not know who the main industry players are or what cards are produced. I always find myself explaining the basics of modern hobby card collecting. This has inspired me to write an article for hockey card collecting beginners (or old school guys who used to collect). I decided to explain some of the questions I receive in written form.
1. Who makes hockey cards these days?
2. How are cards sold to the public?
3. How do I decide what to buy?
Hockey cards have come a long way since we were kids, but one fact remains true. There is nothing like the thrill of pulling that special card for your personal collection. Get back into the game and buy your next hockey hobby box today!
