Great write-up. Wasn't aware of the 2023 mystery.

Congrats on all the diligence and persistence!

Just curious, what were some of the best hockey cards you decided to sell?

[TheVolta]

That’s really awesome. We need more of this. Very fun read.

Cool story. I love the legendary HFA cards.

[BoSoxFan1999]

Awesome man!
btw, you trying to chase down anything listed in the "There's Treasure Inside" book? That seems right up your alley. =D

Very cool -- thanks for sharing. I wish the hidden gems were a little less hidden, though!

They are in 2025 unfortunately because they have gone and made parallels of them they’ve ruined it for me so I’m going to find a new adventure

You’ll probably never see another trout again - nobody opens 2023 topps series 1.

Mostly modern stuff Mcdavid and Matthews stuff.

Congrats on the amazing set and the article. It's really sad that at the same time they release this article, they have also completely destroyed the entire chase you were doing that is highlighted in the article.

Loved the Legendary HFA ever since they came out. One of the best inserts Topps has come out with in the past few years. Best of luck on your quest!

I know I’m so disappointed they went and did that. However at least I can put that set to bed once I find that damn Marrill !!!! I still have my legendary ones to chase which I love, that said time to find something new which is always fun too.

Just don’t do gilded gold storm -it’s a horrible set :)

[Bosoxfan5990]

I loved following your journey!

Are you insinuating that’s your chase and don’t want competition ??? lol I would never do that to another collector who’s chasing something enough competition is out there already I’m sure !!

There’s plenty for everyone!

Good luck on your new venture, it took me 15 years to find the right fit for me.

he’s the only collector with a fully-graded Hidden Gems set

I thought you were still missing one? And had a bunch still to grade?

2023 is fully Graded and the Marrill is still on the hunt. Topps is very aware of the situation I didn’t write the article I simply spoke with them

[REGGIE206]

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing! :)!

To be clear I wasn't blaming you in any way there, just pointing out that the writer was pretty sloppy :)!
