Thanks.

I'm glad the masses have largely shunned cards that are:

1. "odd" sizes
2. only licensed by the Players' Association

It generally makes pickups like these so cheap they can be impulse purchases.

You may wish to consider exploring 70's into the 90's Junior League issues. It's an untapped market. Insanely low pops and hard to find "first" cards and XRCs of HOF'ers and stars. Take the 1980 Soo Greyhounds Ron Francis. There are only 6 currently ever graded. One each in PSA 4 through 9. He's still 5th in all-time points. Card should be a monster...if you can even find one as they hardly ever come up for sale raw or graded. Got to do your homework and do some research to know what's out there but here are a few names with their first cards in Juniors in that era: Francis, Denis Savard, Vanbiesbrouck, Probert, John Maclean, Andreychuk, Wendel Clark, Iginla, Doan, Niedermayer, Recchi, Chara, Martin St. Louis and many more.
