It might ease your mind a bit to learn it wasn't an auction, it was a raffle. There was a constant lineup of dozens of people waiting to purchase tickets ($2 each or 3 for $5 I think) and a huge pail full of them. I suspect the chances of winning were 1 in 25,000+

I wouldn't rule it out ... but I also wouldn't count on it. Part of what is making the prices crazy is likely the fact that they are so limited.
Additionally, It wouldn't surprise me if the players families or billets are trying to buy them in addition to hip fans. Either way, for the avg price to be over $1000 10 days out from closing probably exceeds all expectations. And I cant help but wonder if they'd feel releasing extras would be stepping on the toes of people who forked out huge cash for these.
Personally I would prefer they re-release a classic (Canadian flag, TTH NHL logo, or LA Kings) or if Im being greedy: a new design when the next album comes out :music
It does ease my mind a bit to know it was a raffle. Still hoping for replicas of these one day...not the sketchy ones on kijiji hahaha
There are definitely family members wanting to buy these..
