Nhl Autographed Stamps

Well...
I finally got these "cats" all herded into one room!



I wish Canada Post would not do this (expensive) kind of thing.

Am I jealous !!

I didn't find any.

Based on Unitrade 2016 these are valued at approx. $1,000.00, so you probably did OK cost-wise.
SC2790i - Bobby Orr - $185.00
SC2791i - Harry Howell - $100.00
SC2792i - Piere Pilote - $100.00
SC2793i - Red Kelly - $100.00

The non-catalogued SC2873 through SC2878 are probably valued the same

The "Brodeur" was the most difficult. Only 100 were signed.

I know, I am still looking for a decent and affordable one. I might buy another box hoping to find one....

Those are awesome! Congrats

Yeah but...
Don't you agree that these items make stamp collecting (even modern stamp collecting) difficult?
They create artificial rarities such that only one a hundred collectors can have a complete 2015 Canada collection.

Are you collecting all types of varieties that are cataloged? What if they are not cataloged? Also, what criteria determines if it is cataloged or not which may affect whether it should be collected or not?

Some of these players attend memorabilia shows and sign autographs. I am sure they would sign these cards / stamps too. I have philatelic items signed at shows by Guy Lafleur, Jean Beliveau and Larry Robinson.

Edit: Ah, I see the Canada Post hologram sticker makes them "official" ! Nice collection sak!

I'd say that modern rarities are of two types: inadvertent & deliberate.

Examples of the first (inadvertent):
2015 UNESCO Hoodoo postcard
2012 "Kiosk" first issue (esp. #CP3 - as yet not seen)
1996 Gravenstein Apple PB Perf. 13.1

Examples of the second (deliberate):
2015 Brodeur autograph s/s (and to a lesser extent, the other seven)
2013 Chinatown gates s/s imperforate
1997 Hockey Series '72 overprinted booklet pane
1996 Canada '92 - Maisonneuve signature

The former are a philatelic challenge, like fly-specking or plating.
The latter are a pain in the @$$.

I'm so happy to have stop collect Canada stamp in the 90's

Well... I've finally got all the autographed forwards:



This was a rather expensive exercise.
Like I said before: I wish Canada Post would not do this.
They don't even benefit for the greatly inflated prices for the autographs.

Wow, where did you find the Crosby one?

I have four of the new six signed so far, and what I find interesting is that I am doing better not searching under stamps, and it's actually the hockey card dealers that seem to be selling most of them on ebay, which makes me wonder if they have just bought up loads of "packs" of stamps. Will this in fact make the actual stamps more rare as a result.

The 20 packs I bought yielded nothing, but lots of cool postage (if I can fit them all on). I didn't see any Crosby's or Brodeur's for sale yet. I think they will be tough to get. Fantastic collection Sak.....

Yeah... Crosby. They are very rare because everyone will hold onto them. The dealer I got it from had not seen any other than the two he got from buying hundreds of packets. I guess that's why Canada Post does it - they sell lots of packets. But boy! the prices are unreal. It costs 40 x $10.80 = $432 just for a chance to get one. It's better to get them as soon as they are issued. Still, it's a mortgage payment.

Shhh... Starlight. Indeed, the best places to look for them are hockey card dealers.
