 20 packs of 2020-21 Upper Deck Tim Hortons NHL Trading Cards.... And a medium Steeped Tea with 2 milk.  Cards from the 1911-1912 Imperial Tobacco C55 National Hockey Association (NHA) Hockey Players set. These cards are one of the many 'cigarette cards' released during this time period. Within the hockey card industry, this set is one of the "Three C's" of cigarette sets produced during this time period and predate the NHL.

Is this the Holy Grail of modern hockey cards? It very well could be.
Early last week, I was notified of THE 15-16 Connor McDavid Cup Rookie Patch Auto, which is numbered 97 (McDavid's Jersey Number) out of 99 total copies in currently for sale. The card is also Graded PSA 9 Mint. A beyond impressive card, to say the least. Eric and I recently spoke about this legendary card on our recent episode of the Center Ice Hockey Card Podcast (which is also available on Apple, Spotify, Google, etc). This card is currently on Leland's auction site with a current bid of $52,797 USD with over 11 days left in the auction. Any guesses to how much this McDavid card might sell for when it's all said and done? Author's Note: This McDavid RPA Sold for a final price of $135,811.20 USD. This does not include the 20% buyers premium.  How To Start A Hockey Card Player Collection.
