I like the old-timers autos, I have ever since I bought some Pristine Retired and Legends packs. Pulled some cool autos out of them, but they're not hockey so I won't mention 'em here lol
It's just the "homage" thing for the retired players that I like. You know, remembering the greats from days past. Most of the rookies you see today are not going to last, as my massive rookie collection attests lol...I wiki'd a bunch of 'em and see this guy played on this team, on the practice squad, then moved to this team, on the practice squad, then never "played" again lol
I have respect for the old timers, so finding an auto or relic of them is usually more fun for me than finding a rookie's auto or even a star player's auto.
Cool cards btw.
