    Anyone have any idea how the new tariff war will affect cross border sales??

    I bought one singular card off of PSA on eBay. About $150 Canadian. $25 customs fee to pay at Canada Post.

    November 2023 Sport Expo Thoughts

    I went on Saturday. Busy as usual. Nice to see a very good turn out. Hall 5 always brings it as usual. Now, the interchange between the halls. There was a HUGE bottleneck of people during the autograph sessions, it was really hard to move. I saw one guy try to cut through an emergency exit...

    Sport Card Expo April 2023 thoughts?

    Hall 5 was bumping as usual and having a good time. I feel bad for Hall 4 Vendors as they felt like the leftovers who couldn't get into Hall 5. I think what they should do is fill up Hall 4 with all the vendors in the interchange area between Hall 4 and 5. As they are winding up with more space...

    November 2022 Sport Card Expo Recap and Thoughts

    To everyone that went, how did you find it this time around? I felt Hall 4 was too isolated from all the action of Hall 5. All the Upper Deck box breaks and giveaways gave Hall 5 the energy I felt Hall 4 was missing. The vendors between Hall 4 and 5 also felt like they missed out a bit. The...

    Sport Card Expo Thoughts?

    So what are everyone's thoughts on the show. Personally I loved it. The usage of Hall 1 was great. I think spreading them out to 4 different areas and the aisle being wider were great. I hope this can be a permanent set up moving forward.

    Local Toronto Card Shows?

    We have the expo back and I know other parts of Ontario are having their local shows, but what about Toronto? Pre-pandemic, we had four: GTA Saturday Card Show West TO Card Show Leaside Show Toronto Card Show None of them seem like they are coming back, which is a shame. They were all...

    Can Canadians still sell on Ebay.com?

    I checked it out. I'm not sure exactly when when listing an item, I could not get past the "sales tax" part, it defaulted me to Montana while I am in Canada. Then there is something about verifying micro deposits too? What have they done to this site? It use to be so much easier.

    October 20th: The Battle of Toronto Card Shows

    On one side, we have the established West Toronto Card Show. On the other side of the street we have The Toronto Sport Expo. I wonder what is going to happen to dealers like Carlos who have ran both shows in the past. Will they have two reps representing both shows. Would he start at one show...
