It's always a fun time to make the trek out east to Toronto for the expo.
- I found the new layout much better. There was no "bottleneck" like the last show with the connector hallway. It feels like a single large space. I felt that the autograph pavilion and grading areas were nicely positioned to allow for the larger crowds/lines.
- It was great to connect with old hobby friends and new hobby friends. Shoutout to Quincy for allowing me to use his booth as a home base to rest my feet throughout the show. I always enjoy shooting the breeze and catching up on all things hobby related. Quincy also has one of the best booths in terms of quality and variety of singles available. Not a shabby place to drool over nice cardboard. I always try to snag something for the PC from his booth.
- Walking around and bargain bin hunting with OT Sports. The amount of knowledge this guy has related to all things cardboard is astonishing. News flash, I still have the SPA quad auto lol.
- Lots of people from Vancouver. It's good to see more people exploring shows outside of BC, that just means there is a little less Canucks stuff to pick out from this show.
- Heavy presence with the social media influencers and repackers. The expo is definitely on the radar for collectors outside of Canada.
