I collected a bunch as a kid in the 80's/90's. Still have most of my collection, minus some that got destroyed in the flood. I've got back into it in the last few years but have mostly been buying singles. I try to get autographed cards of the Flames players and other favorite players and some of the Young Guns cards for Flames players. My four year old son has just discovered hockey cards so I might have to find some cheaper boxes to break with him. As far as local stores go, I usually use Eastridge but that's only for convenience. I'd love to hear recommendations for where others prefer. I do most of my shopping on COMC and EBay.
COMC was also great for selling a bunch of my older cards. Shipping them there is expensive and so is the processing fees, but I've made a good amount by selling old doubles from the early 80's.
