LetsGoHomeBaby Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 I couldn't justify spending 200 bucks on a puck that'd I'd just use for stick time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I just dropped over $1K on a jersey I will never wear. I can understand puck collectors spending $ on pucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoHomeBaby Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 I just can't glorify spending that much on a piece of rubber when they're all the same. Jerseys are different and unique..... except the 60 Steve Mason Flyers on meigray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedWings1992 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) Just in case y'all haven't figured out what those of us who collect the Wings already know.....Derek is a first rate tool. He is more anti-establishment then collector and he loves to hear himself post. Casey may have his flaws but he's putting him in his place right now. He's also right about the Detroit based axis in the hobby. There are a few bad apples. Edited May 24, 2017 by RedWings1992 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I haven't really noticed any particular slant towards Detroit or its collectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe casey's opinion is coming from his very real dislike of Derek and how he runs .us. Plus the detroit collector who tried passing off the McDavid stick didnt help. Plus, there's a few established dealers that come from the area and some of the sale shenanigans are well documented among Wings collectors that someone in the know like casey would hear.

Just saw the thread and now see what you are talking about. If there is any slant towards Red Wings geared content it is because the mods happen to be Red Wings collectors. If it was any other team the group content would be geared a little more to that team. Doesn't bother me since I admitted I haven't really noticed it lol. As for GWA.net, yeah the fees and shipping are annoying, but they are a fact of life. They aren't going to change as it has been working and they are selling to an audience that largely treats this hobby like an addiction. There are many over the years who have grandstanded online (this is going back to GW.net days) who said they will never ever bid in one of those auctions again. Then, once a jersey they really wanted shows up in one of the auctions their previous mentality goes out the window. For me, personally, I just factor in the buyer's premium into all my bids and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facebook group. After all, we just talk about all the annoying crap that goes on over there on here. Most topics posted in here are on things that we all agree on. On Facebook we have to read through all that annoying crap and if we post a response prepare to be torched.

RedWings1992 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Another overseas collector clogging up the feed instead of combining it all into one. What's better is some of the jerseys he's listed by themselves and in with others in a separate post. The group at this point is just good for entertainment only. The self destruction that collectors do to themselves is amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite lately is some of the more prominent posters on there sneering at me and assuming I am a new collector just because I don't post much in there. Love the assumptions and inflated egos from some of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsh139 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Round 5 (or is it 6? I'm losing count) of the Penguins goal puck fiasco happening right now. This latest one is getting pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
