Just crazy, imo, what these new Connor Bedard cards are currently going for. Hyped to the hill is an understatement, and I'm afraid many will be regretting their decision within a year or less?
Each to their own, and I'm certainly not wishing upon them what I just wrote as maybe I'm the one who is wrong, but I think the odds are in my favor?

So, I stopped by my LCS yesterday morning to pick up some card savers, and I have never seen it so crowded. There were guys all over the place, some waiting in line, others just hanging out. I had no idea what was going on. The young man at the counter (who is usually the only one in the store when I go in) said that Series Two was due to be delivered in 30 minutes, and it was a chance to get Our Guy. Everybody was shelling out $650 for two boxes. I figured since I was there I should get mine too.

It's pretty nuts!
Some of his cards are already in Connor McDavid territory and he hasn't won a single thing yet.
Not doubting his talent/skill at all because he's crazy good, but I don't recall ever seeing anything like this before for a rookie?

Hope you get some great hits, Al, if you're cracking your box open.

Irv,

I'm with you 100%. They better find this kid a Semenko or McSorley very soon or his frame will not live up to the abuse of big boy hockey. Let's face it, McDavid has a much larger frame and can take more punishment. I just don't see this kid as the next big superstar. I could be wrong.

He's a solid kid but is pretty short. The NHL, which they seem to do quite often, or they measure with skates on, has him as 5'10" but his real height is 5'8".

Imo, like you said, they need someone much tougher/bigger than Foligno. Corey Perry was there for a reason, but of course is now gone, so hopefully they have someone in mind in the near future/off season to fill that role.

Personally, right now, I feel some are laying off, being kind to him as they don't want to be the one to be known as the one who put the NHL's budding superstar out, especially in his rookie year.

We'll see how he makes out, and I wish him all the best, but I can't help but think, like you, that he isn't going to be the next big superstar without at least an entourage of bodyguards who can actually play with him.

Picked up some modern cards as well as part set of the 1991-92 Future Trend Team Canada autos that were issued by The Bay as a box set.
They are the same as what came in the packs but do not have the swirl on the surface. The Bay box set has the same amount of auto as what
the pack pulled set had(36 cards) But some players did not sign for The Bay. SO there are 12 players that did not make it into the Bay sets. But
many players signed multiple cards Plus there are two autos that were never in packs. John Ferguson and the trainer Joe Sgro.As you can see
by the scans.Someone tried to make a complete set of in person autos. They are all the ones signed in blue ink.The gold ink are from the Bay
box set.Thanks.
