The Rink for Hockey Card Collectors

A Community That Knows the Hobby

Hockey card collectors are some of the most dedicated and knowledgeable in the entire hobby. The market is more niche, print runs are smaller, and knowing what to look for matters more. On Mantel, you'll connect with collectors who understand why a Young Guns RC matters, which SP Authentic Future Watch autos are undervalued, and when to make a move on The Cup.

Share your pulls, discuss upcoming Upper Deck releases, debate prospects, and follow collectors who share your passion for the game. From Young Guns to The Cup — the hockey card community on Mantel is welcoming, sharp, and always ready to talk shop.

Comps That Matter in a Niche Market

Hockey card pricing can be tricky — smaller print runs and a more niche market mean comps carry more weight. Mantel shows you what cards actually sold for alongside current asking prices. Know exactly what a Young Guns RC or a Future Watch auto is worth before you buy or list.

Price Trends Around NHL Moments

Rookie call-ups, trade deadlines, and playoff runs all move hockey card values. Mantel's market trends track price movements over time, helping you buy during quiet periods and sell when demand spikes around big NHL moments.

Advanced analytics reveal liquidity and real demand — see whether a card is actively trading or sitting on the market with no takers. Make decisions based on signals, not speculation.

SLAM Scores for Smarter Collecting

The hockey card market has less volume than baseball or football, which makes evaluating cards harder. SLAM scores cut through the noise by combining recent sales, price direction, and liquidity into one number. Compare cards objectively, find undervalued picks, and confirm that demand is genuine before you invest.

Watch the Market for You

Looking for a specific Young Guns RC or a graded SP Authentic auto? Add it to your Wish List and get notified when a matching listing appears across marketplaces. In a market where the right card doesn't come around often — alerts make the difference.

The Cards That Define Hockey Collecting

Upper Deck Young Guns — The most important hockey rookie card. First-year Young Guns drive more demand and value than any other hockey product. Exclusives parallels and high-number SPs are especially sought after.

SP Authentic Future Watch — Numbered and autographed rookies that represent the premium tier of NHL rookie collecting. On-card autos with limited print runs.

The Cup — Ultra-premium hockey cards with the lowest print runs, premium patches, and autographs. The pinnacle of the hockey card hobby — a single card can be worth thousands.
