I have attached photos of two Martin Brodeur game used sticks i own... both were had for under $600...
I also have a Brodeur Stick opening game of 2002 2003 season (Last Cup) he often dated the tape on the top of stick. I also have an autographed half of stick that I got from a friend who worked at Pru. I am a big fan of live sporting events and Hockey is the best but of all sports it translates to TV the worst. But thats ok because collecting Hockey is still affordable. And Hockey has a rich history that makes collecting fun and interesting. Maybe not the best investment but still lots of fun.

Very very nice

I can see hockey be under invested and a good potential growth opportunity

Not for me but I can see people doing it

I am a pretty big Isles Game Used Sweater guy - collecting 70's and early 80's players...Hockey has been on fire the last three to four years - mainly jerseys, but some sticks as well....I truly believe vintage hockey GU has more room to increase......and vintage hockey cards seem to be rising as well.....

That's my pick for the future.....

In my bailiwick, boxing, I see good potential in items that are not well-researched or understood at the present time. Things like appearance cards or bout-related cards. These were made for a single event, and they just did not survive in quantity. A few examples:






I also think there is room in top quality photos of major subjects.



Joe Louis, June 21, 1935, age 21. An iconic image of him. Same photo shoot produced this M120 Detroit Free Press premium.



Even Ali hasn't hit his full potential.

Games used ABC helmets (pre-1990) are good investments mainly because they are very rare and sell quickly. Here is a photo of my collection. I'm not selling...just buying, so if you have any you want to sell, please pm me!

Some of these are "team issued," so they were provided to the team but never used in a game. But at least half of these are game used.

I will post more pics...These are very tough to find!

That Cardinals helmet is a gamer from Ted Simmons. Came from a charity auction. He provided his helmet and other stuff to help raise funds.

In many cases, the team logo on helmets from the 1960s was painted on!

Great stick Jonathan!!! Is it dated? I have only seen sticks with an abbreviated team name on the butt end... i was told no team inscription=not a gamer...

I think hockey has some solid potential... so much faster than it used to be, and a ton exciting young players...
