Game-used Flannels, pre-1970 gets my vote. They have really dried up, and collectors of these pieces are always hesitant to let them go. And I agree with Chris that game-used Caps are way undervalued as well.

+1

Comparing GU flannels to baseball cards is comparing actual artifacts that were integral to the game - actually in the stadium, on the field, in the dugout and clubhouse - to mass produced, mass distributed, pictures of them.

By the way, I just won a 1955 Pirates road shirt, all original, from tonight's Leland's auction. With BP it's about $1,240. That's well less than half the price of a PSA 3.5 picture of Clemente:

That card probably never got anywhere near Clemente, but he probably casually glanced at this very jersey a hundred times.

So, Steve…. the panelist didn’t mention NFT’s or quarter million dollar Brady cards?

I’m a fan of game used bats. Although I’ll never sell, I can see that some bats I bought 30 years ago have appreciated quite a bit.

I gotta believe that this sport is going to pick up in popularity in the us... lord stanley has not had a Canadian winner since 1993... Its a super exciting sport to watch and most memorabilia is on the cheap....

Ive been picking up game used sticks here and there... most have manufacture date stamps on them making them relatively easy to photo match...

I have attached photos of two Martin Brodeur game used sticks i own... both were had for under $600...

Hockey is a super exciting sport but I don't see it exploding in popularity in the US. Relatively few Americas grow up playing hockey and I think that personal connection to the sport is lacking when you didn’t grow up actually playing it. Will always have a core following but I personally don’t see that changing much.

I grew up on Long Island during the heyday of the Islanders. Everyone was Islander crazed in that era. we used to go to card stores and line up to meet bobby nystron, clark gillies, trottier, bossy, etc. Relatively few of my buddies have maintained a strong life long connection to the team.

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

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...
