I went stupid buying boxes between 2012-2015 (last time the Canucks were decent, as was the Australian dollar) but I quickly learned how niche Hockey cards are here, with very little opportunity to sell or trade. So not only are you left with a lot of cards sitting around, the lack of demand doesn't encourage fair value compared to North America. And of the big 4 American sports, hockey is probably the worst at yielding a return per box. Nothing worse than stretching the budget on The Cup and getting about $100 worth out of the tin.
Couple this with UPS doubling their shipping rate, plus the Australian dollar heading south, I fell out of a love with it as quickly as I became obsessed. I dabbled with a couple of breakers in the USA, but this can sometimes be a crap shoot too.
Apparently there was a decent Hockey collector group on Facebook, but I don't really use Facebook, so I never really looked into it.
