What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

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.

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!

Awesome chemistry of the hosts moves the conversation along in a natural and entertaining way. Podcast is very knowledgeable on the subject of hockey cards but the show also touches upon the world of hockey, the teams, players , history and fun insights about this beloved sport.

I’m on of “ those “ collectors who’s gotten back into the hobby after collecting in the 80s and 90s as a kid / teen. Sal & Tim know a great deal and I learn about knew things very show. Great retrospective recaps and I enjoy hearing about what to expect on all things new that are coming out. Great T shirts they sell as well. Enjoy listening on my mail route. Highly recommended listening if you’re into hockey cards and all things hockey In general ! Collect what you like ! Jimmy “ The Mailman “ Milstead aka MilyVanilly
