Babying 613 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Expo weekend I said I will not buy anything Well 1 hour into the show I buy a few cards and spent $1,500 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Day 1 of the Expo. We got up to the International Centre late because of numerous accidents on the Toronto highways. Luckily I drove our stuff up on Thursday night so setup was much easier. Sales was slow and I brought a lot of cards within a hour of the show. Some people had some interest in some cards but it seems that people are pretty tight. Otto myself and another dealer went out for wings after the show closed Day 2 of the Expo. I had to send Otto up by himself since I had to take my girls to their softball games. Got up there at 1 pm so 3 hours latter Sales were nil which as sad but it did pickup. Got low ball on some cards and I just said thanks but no thanks. I am not desperate. Heard another dealer sold 3 Connor McDavid rookies for $850. On a bad day those cards would sell for $1,000 so I found it very strange. Heard that this Asian guy brought it. It was this skinny geeky Asian guy with the extremely hot Thailand looking girlfriend. One guy mention that they bargain and the Asian guy said he only had $800. The guy thought ya right to have a girlfriend like that you don’t have only $800. Day 3 is tomorrow and Otto and I will be having breakfast at Zets before we go in Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,311 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 . Day 3 is tomorrow and Otto and I will be having breakfast at Zets before we go in Zets is never a bad choice Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Day 3 in regards to sales was actually not bad. I always go in not really expecting much since this day always has the cheapos come out. Otto won something from upper deck. It was a hobby box of Spx hockey. Retail on it is $130. I asked him if he wanted to open it or sell it. He said sell. Hmmmn the kid is thinking I was a little bored at the end and brought a cheap blaster box hoping to pull and laine or barzal. I got marner instead. I paid $25 for the box and the Marner would sell for about $75. Didn’t make a lot of money but always enjoy the atmosphere. Otto and I said our goodbyes to the Expo crowd and can’t wait for the next one in November 1 Link to post Share on other sites

mrdannyg 274 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 The most respected prospect guys in the business are saying he’s the best minor league hitter they’ve seen in years Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Okay that is all I need to hear. Plan on heading down to Cleveland for the National this year with Otto. Going to be looking for high end Vlad cards. A few other dealers are thinking of going so we plan on making it a guys weekend. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Power, contact and a great eye at the plate. And he's only 19. He'll be better than Harper. Let's start there. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 His numbers in AA as a 19 year old are almost inconceivable. It's really rare for a 19 year old to even play AA ball, let alone be the best hitter in the entire level. His plate discipline is almost unprecedented for his age. He has walked more than he has struck out across all minor league levels, while also hitting for a huge average and power, despite being one of the youngest players at every stop. He has better numbers across the board than Mike Trout did for his 19 year old AA season, by a pretty significant margin (Though smaller sample). In my opinion, He's a generational talent, and along with Harper and Trout, he's the closest thing to a can't-miss prospect that's come along in the last decade. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
