On this episode of the Hockey Cards Gongshow podcast we start by honoring the NHL's (almost) greatest player to wear the number 9 for episode 209 (9:25). Next, we take a look at five hidden hockey treasures from the junk wax card era (24:48). In hobby news, Brock Faber gets an early extension (44:25). Johnny Amendola joined the show to talk about his experience at The National and his vision for continuing to build Mintink into a premier hobby brand (50:35). In new product releases, we review the card designs and checklist for the upcoming 2023-24 SPx hockey release next week, and 2022-23 Parkhurst Champions hits ePack (1:49:09). We preview our favorite vintage and modern cards in the current Fanatics Collect Weekly Auction (2:11:58). We end the show with personal pickups (2:32:43).
