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

Some of you guys have probably seen this for sale at some point...

I've been working on putting an autographed version together. Three of the cards (Claude Provost, J.C. Tremblay and Toe Blake) will never be autographed because they died before the set came out, but I'm only 6 cards away from completing the set.

 

#68 Dave Balon - this will likely be the hardest to find as he's hardly a household name and died May 2007

 

#75 Yvan Cournoyer - still alive and actually signing at the Expo in May

 

#79 Jim Roberts - not scarce at all...at least 8 on eBay atm

 

#139 Charlie Hodge AS - died April 2016 so shouldn't be scare

 

#140 Jacques Laperriere AS - still alive

 

#142 Jean Beliveau AS - signed a whole lot of cards before he died in Dec 2014

 

(Crappy) pics coming...

 

Balon, Cournoyer, Roberts and Hodge on the way. Getting close. I have the layout mapped out...just have a couple more to get and then it's framing time.

Do I have any? Yes I have 2. Brought one from another dealer when we had our June show. He was asking $90 and I said I will give you $80. He took it but now I don't know where I put it. The other one I had since 2010.

With the Tim Horton hockey cards coming out the usual buzz is out. I don’t dabble in Tim Horton cards because to me they are a fab and it only lasts 2 months plus the dark side of people searching packs

 

This year someone at a cardshow was selling them a week before Tim Hortons stores were selling them. The dealer even boasted how he brought them for 75 cents a pack while he was selling to the general public for $1.75. Of course someone told Tim Hortons and he immediately got an order from head office to stop immediately

 

Card dealers are the nicest group of individuals

Sportscard Expo in 2 weeks. Really glad I had stocked up on Matthews cards. In case you were wondering I was joking but I do have a few Matthew cards that I was expected to sell quickly.

Its the eve of another Sportscard Expo. The new owner is really nickel and dime the dealers. He is also messing up some of the dealers tables and not reserving booths as stated. It is getting to the point where I am considering not doing any more Expos in the future. This 10+ year run maybe over.

On the last day of the Expo we decided to try a $300 a Frameworth box. It contains a signed jersey signed picture and a signed puck. I have seen lots of stinker boxes but generally they are okay. We have done 3 of them in the past

 

Our box contained a Dougie Hamilton puck, Shayne Corson 8x10 and Sergachev Tampa Jersey

 

Okay this box really sucked. It was a gamble and honestly probably the worst box I have ever seen and the last box I will ever buy

 

On a side note Fanatics was blowing out jerseys. I didn’t know they had Team Canada Tavares jerseys for $25 but they sold out right away. We got 2 Oshie USA, Parise USA, Toews Hawks and Marner Centennial Pro Jersey. The Toews was $50 and Marner $100.

I heard the great Bobby Hull was there..Did Otto get a picture with him

 

Yes he was and his auto I heard has gone down. Not as nice. Otto got a pic with him when he was younger so we didn’t get one now
