I disagree with this. I am not going for the early boxes but when they come down, I feel you have to be all in in Bedard rookies. Same thing applied when McDavid was a rookie. The thing is unless your just collecting for a hobby. If you want the cards to actually be worth anything you need to be collecting the best of the best. The legends if you will.
I remember having a bunch of Vladmir Tarasenko, Ehlers, Stamkos, Taveres etc cards, hard signed rookies and patches. I got rid of most of them when their hype was high and either traded for Ovi and Crosby cards or sold them on Ebay. Heck even guys like Malkin, Mackinnon, Patrick Kane, Eric Karlesson, Kucherov lost a ton of value after the hype dies down. You really only want to be collecting the generational players. Right now out of active players it's Crosby, Ovi, McDavid, and now Bedard.
