Customer Reviews
Hockey and the hobby
Sal and Tim are putting out what is consistently my favorite hockey podcast. I was drawn to it for the collecting aspect, but I enjoy when they just cover general hockey news as well since we wouldn’t be in the hobby if it wasn’t for the sport. So much discussion about the hobby online comes from folks that have only been around in the Upper Deck exclusive era so I appreciate their perspective going back to the old days with Topps, Fleer, Donruss, etc. Always a good listen. As someone that lives in a small town far from a good hobby shop, listening to Puck Junk feels like a good conversation in the shop picking up a new box or some singles.
Pure hockey gold!
I love hockey….its my favorite sport and this podcast is an amazing addition to any die hard hockey card fan. I love hockey cards and purchase many hockey products….the information and chemistry of this podcast is amazing. I can listen to this podcast all day if possible. I love the way you have the podcast laid out….with statistics, personal input along with other amazing information. Please don’t stop what you are doing. Keep up the amazing work!!!!
Discrepancy in Hosts
Sal is wonderful, joyous, full of detailed stories. Tim is so flat in affect and lacking energy. He often just dismisses or is nonplussed by Sal’s points and then offers something unoriginal and says it multiple times using slightly different words. The info is awesome and I will listen just for Sal. Step it up, Tim!
