Show Pickups

I was wanting to get down to the show early; however, I fell asleep about half an hour before I was planning on leaving the house. When I did actually wake up at two in the afternoon, I quickly got my ish together and went to the show. It was great catching up with a bunch of people.

I do have to make special mention of Brett (bamlinden) who is my favorite person in the hobby. He is always a pleasure to talk shop with. He truly has the best attitude about this hobby. And I love picking his brain, and getting his perspective on certain things card related.

I wandered about for a bit and did manage to pick up a few new shiny things, some definitely PC, some for now PC. And with that, on to the show . . .

First, I've wanted to pickup one of these Bautista cards to commemorate the insane Game 5 ALDS game from last year.


I'm still trying to figure out what I want to focus on with regards to basketball, but I came across this nice Kyle Lowry Patch Auto 20/25 and felt I couldn't leave it be.


I snagged this cool Alex Burrows net cord card 10/35 from the Heritage Classic at BC Place.


My first ever BGS Black Label, this of current Seahawks starting RB Christine Michael.


And last, but certainly not least, the latest addition to my ever growing Patch PC. A Jonas Hiller 2014-15 UD Ultimate Rare Materials Patch/Tag/Snap 1/1. I found this one at Art's (Hama) table and decided that I had to get it.


Thanks for the read, comments are always appreciated.

Cheers.

beauty pick ups,
I snagged a bautista from Bretts table as well :)
and that hilller is a beauty
 
Must have just missed you as well, it was a fun place to be though wasn't it. Art showed me the Hiller card in his case, it is a beauty! Totally agree with you about Brett, he's a wealth of information, and ended up giving me an Iginla error card that I didn't even know about.
 
Holy Hiller!!!! Great looking card.

And yes, you just missed out on the Bautista on my table. Glad you found one.

Thanks very much Dave for the kind words. I had such a great time this weekend talking cards and hearing about great finds and new info about other people's collections. It really is one of my favourite weekends in the hobby (as I rarely drift outside of the city to go to shows).

I'm looking forward to the next show and hope to catch up with you before then.

Thanks for sharing.
 
Sweet pick ups, glad that topps made a batflip card. Great to see you again Dave and glad you made it down to The Calgary Card Show
 
Dave,

Awesome stuff! I was really wishing I could just head down there and check it out but I was very busy with family stuff and homework! Hopefully we will run into each other soon.

Naim
