Small Dollars in Hockey Collectibles
By admin | June 4, 2008
As we approach the 6th game of the Stanley Cup Finals, it was coincidence that I was reading a story about hockey collectibles. I was sort of shocked on how little hockey collectibles actually sell for in the auction market.
Let’s talk numbers. I would estimate that a bat that Mark McGwire used to hit a home run would sell for $1200-$2000. Would anyone classify Mark McGwire as one of the greatest to ever play the game? On the other hand, a Tony Gwynn used baseball bat would probably sell for $3000-$8000 autographed. On the other hand, Wayne Gretzky, one of the greatest players to ever play the game of hockey, saw a game used hockey stick sell for $1300. A Bobby Hull Topps hockey Card recently sold for $1900. Would you like to compare that to a Mickey Mantle?
I could only conclude one thing. The market in the United States for hockey is very small and unfortunately, so is the collectibles market.
