This past week, I conducted an e-mail interview with a big-time hockey card collector, Sal Barry. Barry is the owner of hockey card site PuckJunk.com and can sometimes be heard on XM NHL Home Ice discussing all things hockey cards.
Sal was kind enough to take time out of his schedule and discuss how he got into the game and how he got into hockey card collecting.
PH: How did you first get into hockey?
SB: It was January of 1989, and I was 13 years old. We just got cable television, and I was flipping back and forth between a movie about Martin Luther King Jr. and SCTV reruns. I entered the wrong channel number on the remote, and caught the end of a hockey game between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Buffalo Sabres. I tuned a few days later to watch another Blackhawks game, and became more interested. At the end of the month, my Aunt Gayle took me to a ‘Hawks game for my 14th birthday, and I was hooked.
