As far as Cale Makar goes, I gave up trying to buy one of his YG's as I always got outbid so I ended up purchasing this signed and numbered Stature card instead.

Great looking card.[/QUOTE]

Thanks.

Nice Gretzky!

do those instructions work for a mac as well? i'm literally the worst with computers, lucky i know how to turn it on and off.

Thanks!

I only dabble in modern a bit myself, and like you, most of my hockey cards are 70's/80's. I did, however, just receive my second copy of Ty Dellandrea's YG's card but in the French version this time. He is a co-workers/friends nephew, plus I have seen him play, so I know he has potential. 13th overall first round selection of The Dallas Stars.

LOL on being computer illiterate. I might be about 10% better than you but I still can't help you with your question. Try and see I guess, or maybe Eric knows for sure?

those french cards are fantastic. the only ones i have are from a french/english set around 1990 (i think it was score, but can't remember...they are in my basement somewhere).

i like ty's game, have seen him play a few times and agree, he's headed for a nice future.

each time my workplace changes something minor regarding my computer, it causes me all kinds of problems. i suck at computers but i own that suck...no reason to deny it.

I hope so, and I want all the new players to do well, but since Ty is pretty much a local boy to me and a friends nephew, I am especially pulling for him. He, like a lot of them, are playing over in Europe right now due to the less restrictive covid protocols.

Although Ty won't be playing, I am looking forward, once again, to the World Juniors starting Dec 26th. I need a fix of hockey bad!

New arrival today. A 76-77 Bryan Trottier OPC RC. This card is hard to find centered and although this one isn't perfect, it's the best one I could find for a decent price. Upper right corner ding but overall not a bad card, imo,

I love the look of cards from this era. In a way, I’m glad they haven’t spiked in price the way other sports cards have. Gives collectors the opportunity to just...you know...collect.

Well, some 10's sure are spiking, and likely like you, I am totally surprised/shocked to see some of these prices.

To say hockey is getting hot is an understatement!
