I also agree that i'm in a funk as well. Mine is more because there is no cards in the area around here so that's depressing. I have taken up finishing up older sets that seems to be making me feel better. Although phil has impressed me and i like the idea of collecting the harder insert sets from the 90s, but i gotta go one set at a time.

Just have to say, no funk here. Got lots of holes in lots of sets, making trades and completing sets.... I agree it would be better to actually watch some live hockey, but I even got some of that watching the World Junior Championships!

I've been in a funk since Christmas haha. Not going to sell any of my stuff off, but just not in the mood to trade or add cards to my org since there's still like 3000 not in there. It's nice to take a break every once in a while. I have still been buying PC cards on eBay though.

I've made about 25 trades in the past month. There are always cards to collect for my PC. It looks like the lockout is essentially over now, but that didn't curb my enthusiasm at all. I bought my nephew, my daughter and my grandson NHL products and cards for Christmas. I have no problem separating the business side of the game from my enjoyment of the game.

I am feeling the funk. FUNKATRONIC!
Boom-a-boom-a-boom-a-boom-a-boom!
Oh... wait... wrong funk.

The lockout has hurt the hobby worse this time than it did the last two times. At least there was Crosby and Ovechkin to come back to... now it's the third Oiler in a row, P.K.'s brother and Galchenyuk. Not cutting it for me... but that's me. With the resume happening and the season going to be starting, maybe we can all get our passion back into it. It'll be tough, but we can all try. Best wishes!

I hit that point last lock out. Totally changed how I collect now. I'm trying to get rid of all non-PC cards and focus on my Brett Hull collection.

I'm just waiting for hockey to get going so I can set phase two into action.
