Upstanding Member,
My 3rd straight Spring Expo had some good...and some bad.
The good......got to meet and talk to a lot of the HI faithful that made the trek to Toronto. Too many people to mention...you all know who you are.
Meeting and talking to you all made the trip so enjoyable. Also a big thanks to Dr. Price and the ITG booth. Great talking to you again, Brian. And thanks for having Ken come over and talk "Made To Order" with us!! 
Props go out to our fearless leader, Bruce, for providing the HI booth for all of us to hang out and talk/trade/sell amongst each other. :dance:
The bad...I came in nursing a stomach bug. Was feeling OK for most of the Expo Friday and Saturday after a lousy Wednesday. I did get really sick after dinner Saturday and couldn't go out to Arizona's with everyone...bumed about that. :|
>> So let's get into the card haulage.........
I did buy one ITG Ultimate SUPER BOX. I picked up another pack to max out on the Redemption cards. I watched A LOT of Super Boxes get broken, and I was a bit disappointed in my five packs....not one memorabilia card numbered under 24.
I did get 2 gold autos #/10....but no real big pulls. Plus my 1/1 Super Box card was a brutal one for me....Rob Blake. Only saving grace was the nice multicolor swatch. Oh well....win some and lose some. 
Super Box pulls:
Blake 1/1
Extra pack purchase:
Base cards donated to HI.
