Welcome to The Top Shelf Cookie Sniper Hockey Podcast.

We’re cranking up the amps and cracking open the packs with Andrew from Dog House Hockey Cards.

We talk about Connor McDavid's card values (Does not winning a Cup hurt his value?)

We look at the ups and downs of collecting.

Also, why guitars and hockey cards are cooler than you’d think.

It’s riffs, rips, and a little bit of dog house wisdom you won’t want to miss.

You’re tuned in to the Top Shelf Cookie Sniper Hockey Card Podcast — where cardboard is king, debates are welcome, and respect is the currency of the hobby.

This week, we’re tackling something every content creator faces: Opinions. Some folks chase Young Guns like they’re oxygen, others swear by vintage, and a few just want the shiniest patch in the room. Agree, disagree, or shake your head — the key is respect, because without it, the hobby stops being fun.

But don’t worry, we’re not staying serious for long — because we’ve got a sizzling question to chew on: if hockey card sets were restaurants, what would they be? Is Series 1 the fast-food drive-thru of the hobby? Is The Cup a five-star steakhouse where you need to remortgage your house just to sit down? And does O-Pee-Chee still feel like that classic family diner that never goes out of style?

Grab your napkins, because we’re serving it all up with extra sauce.”

Episode 109 – Future Watch Bargains, Social Media Shenanigans & Listener Curiosity
Welcome to The Top Shelf Cookie Sniper Hockey Show!

In Episode 109, we dig deep into the hobby’s treasure chest to uncover five Future Watch Auto rookies you can snag for under $100—because big hobby dreams don’t always need big hobby budgets.

We also take a timeout to talk about our social media adventures (and misadventures), from hobby hype trains to the occasional digital facepalm.

Plus, we field a sharp listener question that gets us thinking about where this crazy, wonderful collecting world is headed.

Equal parts fun, insight, and just enough hot take spice to keep things interesting.

Episode 108 of The Top Shelf Cookie Sniper Hockey Show!

We dive into one of the darker corners of the hobby—Trading Card Scams. From shady sellers to too-good-to-be-true deals, we break down what collectors need to watch out for to keep their hard-earned cash safe.

We also spotlight three players we’re approaching with caution in the market right now—digging into why their hobby hype might not match their long-term value.

And to top it off, we’re joined by a special guest host, bringing fresh insight, hot takes, and a whole lot of laughs.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or just hanging out in the hobby, this is an episode you don’t want to miss!

Welcome to Episode 107 of The Top Shelf Cookie Sniper Hockey Show!

In this episode, we welcome a true hobby friend and all-around good guy—Producer Lewi from the Hockey Cards Gongshow. If you’ve listened to their show, you already know he’s the wizard behind the curtain, the guy who keeps the podcast running smoothly while everyone else talks.

We dive into what it’s like to work behind the mic in the hockey card world and talk about how passion for cardboard can turn into full-blown podcast production madness.

We chat about collecting, content creation, the enjoyment, and whether being on a popular hobby podcast is actually as easy as it looks (spoiler: it’s not all free packs and autograph signings).

Lewi also shares his perspective on what it takes to keep hobby content fun and engaging, what inspires him in collecting, and how working on a podcast changes how you look at the hobby as a whole.

We laugh, we geek out on cards, and we pull back the curtain on what goes into making hobby content you love listening to.

So grab your favorite stack of Young Guns, put on your headphones, and hang out with us as we get to know the producer who helps keep one of the hobby’s best podcasts running like a Zamboni in mid-season form.

Welcome back to another episode of The Top Shelf Cookie Sniper Hockey Show Podcast — the show where cardboard dreams come true, eBay saves get celebrated like Stanley Cup game-winners, and… tonight, things get personal.

Today, we peel back the top loader and look behind the curtain… at the real MVP behind one of the hobby’s most notorious puckhead collectors — the one, the only — California Dave’s wife, Rebecca!

She joins us to talk about what it’s really like living with stacks of Young Guns, the occasional bubble mailer avalanche, and a man who treats a PSA 10 like it’s a newborn baby.

We’ll ask the hard-hitting questions like:

• Did you know what you were signing up for when he said “I do,” — and did you think “I do” included a wall of graded cards?

• Is card collecting a charming hobby, or guys collecting other guys printed on cardboard?

• And what’s this mysterious owl podcast that somehow steals her heart?

So get ready — it’s honest, it’s hilarious, and it’s full of unexpected wisdom.

Because behind every great collector… is someone trying not to roll their eyes while he explains why “this parallel is actually low-key a grail.”

Let’s get into it — here’s Rebecca, and trust us — she’s a hoot. 🦉

Welcome back to The Top Shelf Cookie Sniper Hockey Show! — where the takes are sharp, the corners are soft, and unlike some Young Guns… we’re always well-centered.

In Episode 105, we’re diving stick-first into Upper Deck’s quality control — or as some collectors call it, “quality roulette.” We’re talking roller marks, off-centering, dinged corners, and cards that look like they went a few rounds with Ryan Reaves.

But it’s not all rough edges — we’re also breaking down the real Gem Rates on Young Guns rookies. Is grading still a smart play? Or are PSA 10s becoming rarer than a clean bench in a Battle of Alberta?

So, grab your sleeves, prep your magnifiers, and pray for sharp corners — it’s time to find out if your next Young Gun is bound for glory... or destined for the dollar bin.

Let’s rip into it.
