We have day 1 complete at the Expo.   It was a very uneventful day since the turnout was low. I believe that the fight between 2 guys in the industry is going to get nasty and another show is going

Otto and I enjoy it. We spend the whole weekend together and have a blast. We don't make a lot of money from it. We only do it for the love of the hobby   Because of doing this we have met a lot

The show I think was a success. We had a regular win the signed derozan jersey. Thank god he won since 3 guys I have never seen came in at the last second. When the draw was over they left. Peopl

BGS Black 10 means a pristine perfect card. Here are 2 auctions for a McDavid and a Matthews:

As I type right now not ended yet.

 

I have a Matthews and Marner Canvas rookie that I sent in for grading and came back a 10. I sent them in for slabbing and if they come back a black 10 I will freak.

Just a fyi, a raw ungraded McDavid goes for about $350 and Matthews about $200

 

Finally got the email. I am getting the 2 gradings for Matthews and Marner next week. I am praying for black 10s.

I saw you post on Twitter but not entirely sure what it means but it looked like good news.

lol. Thanks. BGS 10s are good but if you get a Black BGS 10 that is a perfect card. I had already got a pre grading on a bunch of cards and 3 of them came back 10s. Those are the ones I paid to get slabbed and get the real grades. They were 1 Matthews Canvas rookie and 2 Marner Canvas rookie. As per my post on twitter I only got 1 black 10 on the Marner Canvas.

 

I am going to try and show what the difference is. You always hope to get a good grade on your cards and generally 9.5 is the base for grading from Beckett. If you get a 10 than the card is near perfect condition, if you get a black 10 than the card is in perfect condition.

 

Here is a Matthews graded at 9.5 (around $270 US):

Matthews graded at 10 (around $380 US):

Matthews graded black 10 (around $1,100 US):

So I just missed out on a very nice hit on the Matthews. Missed it by .5 on corners

 

Here are the Marners:

 

At 9.5 (about $70 US):

At 10 ( about $170 US):

There isn't a black Marner on eBay but I am going to guess it is about $500. So I guess not bad but I was really hoping for a Matthews Black. The story on the cards on how I got them, the Marners I got in a lot from another dealer. The cost is really nothing since I sold the others and made back the purchase price already. The Matthews was purchased from Otto's buddy for $200 (a very fair offer). When it came back 10 I told him that I am not going to rip him off. If it comes back a black 10, I would give him $500. Just sad that we didn't get a black 10 on the Matthews.

Today is our monthly Saturday cardshow. Unfortunately Otto has a mid term tomorrow so I am here solo

 

We had issues with our venue and now must make a decision to move since we can’t get any future dates because of an impending renovation at the site

 

To think we have been here for over 5 years. If we do move it will be sad.

I just had a conversation with a few guys who attend the Niagara hockey pool. They told me that this person is very personal and friendly. I said he is. They than said he goes out all the time and is social. I said no he has never attend port perry with me before or after the pool. They said that doesn’t sound like him. I than said I know why. He doesn’t want to play poker against me

 

Who is this person I am referring to

i dont know who that is, but im betting he doesnt like the "element" you hang out with. That Biatch guy and the American who are usually with you, they both sound like real pricks, so Im sure people dont want to hang with you because of them!!!

 

ps: Port Perry isnt Niagara. Just sayin...

 

pps: I dont play poker in Niagara either, with them. I hate poker rooms generally, I need more fun than that scene when I go out. Vegas works.

Damn I was hoping it was because you fear my poker skills.

 

There were 3 guys there. They only had very good things to say about you

 

The Niagara trip they told me about it. Sounds like a lot of fun especially when you use to play golf but now you guys don’t anymore

which 3? Im sure Tony was one, who were other 2?

 

 

 

I don't know their names all I know is they know you and speak highly of you.

 

The third guy was a big guy who I have never seen. I think he is Greek

Tall guy? Thats Dino. Thats my boy! Great guy, one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. I've been out with him in Niagara, Toronto...even had a couple of nights in Vegas.

the other guy was probably Marcello then.

 

I thought maybe you would know Dino from poker rooms, Blue Heron/underground clubs. Dino+Tony are excellent poker players, they usually do very well wherever they play.

Arp, any interest in a random $20 tourney or something? I haven't played since the month I moved here. Always wanted to do a cheap and fun a home game.

you guys are always welcome. Put together a game for my house.

Yes that is him. Tony said to me did you see a big Greek guy walk in?

 

I don't play poker alot here. Only time is with John at Port Perry and maybe once at the CNE.

 

I do play when I travel in Buffalo, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, etc.
