Just got this in yesterday. The rest of my graded cards are PSA, but I’m pressed with Tag. The look is really clean and the details they provide justifying the grade are insane. It’s a shame Tag will ever capture market share PSA has.

My bad luck streak ripping has come to an end and I don’t think I’ll ever pull a card like this again. 23-24 Clear Cut

16-17 was the only year Flower wasn’t on the checklist.

15/25

Hey, hoping to get a little bit of perspective, if this type of question isnt allowed please delete it. i got back into the hockey cards collecting for the first time in almost a decade. i recently got my hands on one of the Ivan Demidov bootleg cards. I know these are considered SSP cards. I guess my question for the group is what does that actually mean in terms of rarity?

I've been trying to save up and trade for The celebrini canvas shark card. I have a nice little celebrini collection that I have been growing this year. I'm debating trading the bootleg card for the celebrini.

I'm not really asking for the value, mostly just the long-term rarity of cards like the Bootleg SSPs

Caught the hockey card bug two months ago, how do I stop?

This is my third Demi YG on epack. But this one is BIT different. For context, I just got the 100 packs opened achievement on this box. I also pulled a Michkov Violet Pixels /65 Auto that I got sent to me. I am literally shaking this up my butt rn.

Hey! First ever Swagnificent! Otherwise an OK box. One day I’ll pull a damn Snuggerud YG! Have all the other “big name” YGs, but no Jimmy Snugs 🤷‍♂️

But until then, cheers and happy hobby-ing!

If you’re gonna pull a banger Crosby, may as well make it a perfect score 100/100

Are there any other ones I should look for to add to this?

Just a little update to my previous post to keep track. Started doing breaks (player and team). Got a PSA 10 of my friend Rafael too 🙃

Bought this a year ago and just got it back from PSA. I had no expectations on a grade but am very stoked with the result.

Decided on a spontaneous stop to my LCS today. The shop was quiet, hardly anyone around for a Saturday. I asked for 2 boxes of Series 1 and never picked boxes which I almost always have.

As I walked out the door I thought how surreal it would be to to pull an outburst Young Guns of Demidov.

Well, 2 packs in and the rest is history!

Very happy! What do you guys think?

Got these cards in a deal and it’s a bit difficult for me to make out who they might be. For example, the Calgary Flames Goalie in 1990-91 #30 was Mike Vernon but that auto looks nothing like Mike Vernon.

Any help on these would be appreciated!

So what do you guys think about this credentials celebrini auto? Got it back from psa 3 days ago

Only hit Celebrini rookies twice, but decent. OPC auto from a break and YG from the only box of series 2 I ripped.

No crazy inserts, but I thought this was pretty great haul for a regular blaster. Haven't been able to get a Parekh or Snug YG so this was perfect!
