Expo + some recent mail

[sabres11]

Made it to another Expo, lots of fun as usual. Surprisingly many Finnish guys this time and almost no Swedes...:whatthehell:

Had the same "problem" as most other H.I. members with the lanyard it seems (kept flipping to the wrong side all the time), but still got to meet a lot of new faces and some old as well.

I found a record-low 6 cards at the show, but that has probably got more to do with my wantlist being so small nowadays than anything else. Gotta find a new project soon it seems!

First off, a couple of cards in the mail recently

A trade made on another forum got me these 3 nice traders, all available

This one is also available for something nice in return or Paypal

Next up a couple of ebay-snags for my Cup-sets

And lastly, my Expo finds

a Myers that I just picked up cause I thought it was nice, could be had

2 names scratched off the 05-06 Cup LLs set thanks to Jeremy (gomaz)

and the top 3 in my opinion

#3 from Rami (friend of Marty - [email protected]), a beauty of a patch!

#2 a Crosby, not too shabby either!

and at #1 a pretty sweet Ovechkin that I picked up from Victors cards, with some help from crankshaft (Rod). Nice to meet you and thanks for helping me get a better deal! :beer:

well, that was it for now

Thanks for looking!

[KaneToews8819]

Very nice cards please let me know if I've got anything you need for the orr game night ticket auto. Thanks!

 

[gomaz]

Ilhan, it is always a pleasure to see you. You are a great collector and so much fun to see at Expo.

Those Limited Logo additions are awesome. I am honored to have been able to help with your set.

While those Crosby and Ovechkin cards are crazy, I'm partial to the Coyotes suede. And I gotta say that when I picked up that Yashin card, I did not think it would find a home so quickly!

You sure are building some sweet Limited Logo sets. Please post a show and tell soon with what you have so far!

And here he is with a couple fresh Expo pickups:

Hey, is that Norm (trekrun) in the background?

06/7 Cup remains the creme of the crop. Best Logos set ever as far as player selection and patch selection is concerned!

Great stuff!!!
