From my perspective, the hockey market has three problems:
#1 - it's a relatively small market
#2 - already has too many products
#3 - not enough superstars (it's Crosby, McDavid, and that's about it right now)
There's a limit to how many people want Gretzky & Bobby Orr autographs.....

Actual problem #1 is criminal USPS first class with d/c rates to Canada which renders an already tiny market virtually inaccessible. Canadian buyers just buy in-country and avoid insane shipping charges not to mention import duties on higher dollar items. Selling hockey cards stateside is over, baby.
