On this episode of the Hockey Cards Gongshow podcast we start by honoring the NHL's greatest number 42 for episode 42 (4:22). Next, we were joined by hockey card mega collector Les Edwards who own's some of the most sought after and rare cards in existence to talk about how he approaches building his collection, the players he targets, and the overall hockey card market (13:30). In Who's Hot, we look at Alex Tuch, Andrei Vasilevskiy, and Tage Thompson and how their stellar play is impacting their rookie cards (1:06:32). On the flip side, J.T. Miller and Vitek Vanecek ride the Struggle Bus (1:16:18). In hobby news, we look at a new contract extension for Stuart Skinner and updated 2023 pricing from PSA (1:22:20).
