And if you don’t like the new stuff, well, don’t worry — we’ll be back to our regularly-scheduled (free) Baseball Card Market Report on Friday, just like always

Yesterday, we continued our expansion into the non-baseball card market with a rundown of the top basketball card sales from August 2021, and today we put this preview series *ahem* on ice with a look at the top hockey card sales on eBay during August of 2021.

You can find the full list below, but, as usual, we can pull out some eye-openers and potential trends:

Some of the great ones, including The Great One, are well represented — Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr, and Sidney Crosby all make multiple appearances.
Unlike our basketball and football lists, the top-selling hockey roster is NOT completely dominated by new cards — Orr and Gretzky alone bring plenty of 1960s and 1970s flavor to this list.
Like baseball, we might expect and occasional tobacco card to appear on these top-selling hockey lists.
Not to belabor the point, but the NEWEST cards in this list are 2017-18s, and it took 109 of them together to land in the top spot. Beyond that, we have to go back to 2015-16 to find our newest cards — nothing that someone just pulled from a new pack made the cut here.

Alright, enough rambling, but rest assured there will be more of that in the months to come.

On with the greatest (or at least “a”) cardboard show on ice …
