My Public Apology to Hockey Fans

PuddleMonkey · 05-03-2026, 10:03 PM

I didn't mean to leave you guys out, I swear. I imagine some of you hockey guys don't do other sports and therefor may not venture into the baseball, basketball and football forums.

Long story short we've been testing pens, cases (including PSA), substrates, etc. for months. Even started a weekly test for some popular pens. The link is below, it contains a lot more than what is shown in this thread, even a surprise phenomenon with Chrome cards. So I hope you accept my apology and we don't have to take things outside. Everyone knows Canadians can't fight anyway.

I guess we know the answer. Thanks for the test.

Went through the full baseball thread, thanks for posting here as well.

I do a good job keeping my autos boxed to minimize light exposure, but yeah now I'm definitely worried about the longevity of any of my acetate autos.

Also makes me glad to have a couple non-sports things signed with those Craft Smart paint pens. I think they look great (especially on dark backgrounds), so happy to see those held their own.

Reds are still on their way out week after week. I have to wonder if it can eventually end up like the Shapie Blue and how long it'll take.
