The photo is a photo of the actual card so please take a good look at the card and pay attention to grading. Please note that while grades 7.5 through 10 are easy enough to understand, we do not number cards less than 7.5, we simply grade those G/VG etc and let you decide. G/VG does not mean the cards are not collectible at all it just means it did not make the 7.5 threshold which is where most of the money circulates in terms of investment cards, but the card is still collectible. In collecting, as supposed to simple investing, imperfections are actually frequently endearing and give the cards character and speak to their age and authenticity. Detailed Facts On the HHA grading and authentication company:The Hockey History Archive (HHA) is a new hobby card authenticating, grading, reclamation, historical collection, packaging and presentation service. We reclaim and regrade cards that investor-focused groups like PSA have, in our opinion, bumbled and failed to recognize the true collectible nature and historical value of. Most of their graders are young, trained internally, have no personal history or experience with sports cards, and frankly frequently arbitrarily grade cards in ways that baffle, make no sense, and show a reckless indifference and ignorance to what sports cards were intended to be, or even the inherent differences between cards [produced in 1985 and cards made in 2024. Many perfectly fine and collectible cards are not getting the care or value they deserve, hence the HHA seeks reclaim these cards and treat them with dignity they deserve, including what we call "hobby grades", which are focused on collectors and take into consideration what cards actually looked like coming out of the pack in years past. Some of the standards bigger companies put on older cards today are so ridiculous they denigrate cards that appear exactly as they did out of the pack because quality standards varied over the years. So a card produced in 1984 might be slightly off center or have other slight imperfections BUT that is because those imperfections were ubiquitous and reflected the standards of the day, so we believe a card must be judged based on the standards of cards at the time of first release meaning a card from 1975 cannot be judged based on card standards in 2024. HHA is owned and operated by people who not only have degrees in history and historiography, but perhaps even more importantly have themselves been buying and collecting cards since they were kids, so we combine a historians eye and anthropological knowledge, with the personal lifelong experience of collecting trading cards that cannot be taught. You cannot teach the knowledge that comes from, for instance, being a kid in the 1970s buying cards for 10 and 25 cents a pack then flipping through gum-dust sprinkled cards while chewing on the usually awful gum and regarding every pack like wrapped Christmas presents and not knowing what treasures or hero might become a part of your collection as you flipped though your cards. And then watching over the decades as the industry and prices and quality all changed, transforming it from a street-level industry selling sports idols and dreams to kids, to today where we see cards selling for $20 a pack and mad rushes by money hungry card speculators who have robbed the industry from kids by making it largely financially inaccessible to kids and instead giving it to day traders and speculators many of whom do not even watch hockey or the sports they collect. HHA hopes to put some of the honesty and character back into collecting and finding that balance between building a valuable collection while not discarding cards that in their inception were never meant to be perfect and in fact much of their charm came from their simplicity and imperfection.
