Babying 613 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Tell him to go home and take care of his AHL team. We need him to wrap things up Unfortunately I was tied up getting food for the dealers and I forgot something at home. So only saw him for a couple of mins. We actually had a decent crowd come to the show today. Dealers were happy and makes us (Otto and myself) look good for once. I made a big purchase today and brought a case of 2015/16 Series 2 Upper Deck for $1,250. I am going to wait a month to decide what I am going to do with it. Link to post Share on other sites

Babying 613 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I have been hearing a ton of rumours coming out on the semi annual Sportscard Expo. It seems like it is true. New owners have taken over and brought it for $425k. Because of this AJs Sportsworld will have it's last Expo and someone else (Frozen Pond?) maybe taking over for the autograph pavilion. That is good since the guys at AJs were the absolute worst and they are the reasons for us not buying autographs at the Expo. The sad part is that it was sold for $425k. If I knew that I would have gotten a couple of other guys together and I would have brought it. Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 The big Sportscard Expo is nearly upon us. Heard through the grapevine that the show was indeed sold. Figure was $720k or around that figure. I am pretty upset about this since if I knew it was for sale, I would have put in a bid with financial supporters Anyways we always purchase this from the last 2 Expos: https://ssl.frameworth.com/category/MysteryBox/The-Frameworth-Mystery-Box As you see one of them is the Crosby box with stick, photo and puck (value at $6,000). Cost is $300. First time we brought one we got a Malkin signed jersey and the 2nd time we got a Duchene Canada signed jersey. Plus some photos and pucks but those were the major 2 wins. Well I guess it was a win but the Duchene jersey sucks Link to post Share on other sites

pezeveng 207 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Wow never heard he was signing Wife just went, everyone gets 1 selfie and 1 pic autographed. She asked him to do a quick video wishing her friend (Huge Raptors fan) a Happy 40th Birthday and he obliged. Funny thing is wife has no clue who he is. Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 This coming weekend the big Sportscard Expo. Otto is looking forward to it and we hope to hit something big this year in our endeavours. In the frameworth $300 mystery box I would like either a signed Crosby McDavid or Gretzky jersey. Depending on how the show is we might do 2 boxes Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Another Expo has come and gone. No major hits this time. I seriously think my old age has hit. Was extremely beaten up on Friday. We did so the $300 Frameworth boxes. Only got a Morgan Reilly jersey, Eddie Shack 8x10, Taylor Hall 8x10 and Dougie Hamilton puck. All signed of course. Heard from others that lots of nurse and yakupov jerseys pulled Not sure if I want to do this anymore since seriously Those jerseys suck As a vendor it might have been the best we have done dollar wise. Sold lots and lots of junk. The big issue was the timing of the event. Tax season so I did not go to bed until 3 am on Friday and Saturday. Than wake up at 8 am the next day. Attendance at this expo has to be the lowest I have ever seen. It did not help when they closed the parking lot because it was full on Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites

With your accounting practice, your card business and all the family time you spend 24 hours in the day probably doesn't seem like enough a lot of the time. Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 The card business is just hobby stuff Otto and I do together. The only time I spend on it is pretty much at the shows itself since I don't put stuff together like other dealers do. I got to the show at 10 am and spent 3 hours setting up. I than stand there on the very hard concrete while my aging body is screaming for help. Yes I don't sleep much. Spoke to the wife about going to Vegas by myself to play poker all day after tax season. She said go but I don't think I can with my daughter's activities. They have 3 things going on with ice skating, soccer and softball. Probably drag Otto with me to Port Perry instead for an evening. Link to post Share on other sites

Babying 613 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 One of the premier rookie cards are out. As you can see McDavid is still going strong: http://www.ebay.ca/i...E8AAOSw7ehXR3ot I expect his Cup Rookie to get over $10k when that is out in August. Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Wayne, can I ask a stupid question? So that card sells for about $3k and is numbered out of 99. Is it reasonable to assume there are at least 90 other of the same card out there? I know #1 and #97 are probably worth a bit extra, but in general, would they all be worth about the same? Guess what I'm getting at is wondering what proportion of high-end cards end up being in poor condition or are never found in packs or anything else. I know it's impossible to say for real how many are out there, just curious how hard to find these extra rare cards are even if you are willing to pay market price. Link to post Share on other sites

Yes there are at least 97 more out there that would sell for that price. However as you said earlier, #97 would sell for quite a bit more since it is his jersey number.

mrdannyg 274 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 So you're saying that there are very cards that will go "unfound" in packs or end up in really bad condition? Makes sense to me, since most high-end packs are bought by serious people these days and not stuck in some kid's bike spokes lol Link to post Share on other sites
