Question re: RNH Rookie Auto

wfrw07 · 04-23-2013, 04:23 PM

So I pulled a RNH Ice Breakers Auto from a 2011-12 Pinnacle Box, which I was pretty excited about, seeing as I just kind of started back into collecting in the past year and hadn't had any sort of decent hit since then.

I scouted around the net and have an idea of what the card is worth, but my question as a novice collector is should I be looking to sell now, or is there value in holding onto it and selling down the road?

I'm relatively unfamiliar with how the market (and specifically the hockey market) works these days.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hopkins cards aren't selling that well the last couple months, his cards seemed to have decrease in value as he didn't have a great year and is ow missing the rest of the season due to a shoulder injury. If I were you I would hold on to it until either you get what you want for it or next year when he's back and hopefully gets hot. Or you could even hold on to it for a couple years and when/if the oilers are a cup contending team sell then. What ever you do I wish you luck and I hope I helped out a little

The fact he had a 'down' year, and just recently was placed on IR for yet another shoulder operation now is not the time to move any RNH cards IMO.

Hold on to it for next season when he returns healthy and the Oilers have a better season in general.

Ha, didn't even think about the injury part, even though he was on my fantasy team.

Thanks for the advice to the both of you. I might end up just keeping it anyway because I really dig the "RNH" signature.
