>Met some guy in a pink hat haha
>Lots of awesome lookin cards.
>Was able to convince a guy I work with to head out. He has never been.
>The hot dog vendor outside the door telling everyone "You tha best". Found it hilarious.
>No strippers in the parking lot handing out free tickets to the club they work at in the parking lot like at last years spring expo.(tickets were expired too)

>Lots of rude people. I dont know how many times my bum was touched or bumped into while looking at cards. It wasnt that crowded.
>Some of the prices on boxes seemed pretty high. I seen a couple people selling 90/91 UD for $40 a box. Same with the "special show price".
>ATM ran out of money, all 3 of them the first day. I wanted to get more money out to buy a box but wasnt able to. The guy said I could use interac but he would have to charge me taxes.
oh and another minus.... the lack of quality Aki Berg singles...![]()
+ dealers looking to make deals. Not all of them, but more than usual.
+ ITG's redemptions. Good God.
+ The HI booth. Always good to stop for a breather and chat with people whose usernames you know and now have faces to go with them.
+ seeing those schmenges from Fastball sitting there counting the minutes from 1pm Friday to 6pm Sunday. That show is a loss leader for them FOR SURE.
+ being able to buy from one dealer and sell to another for a profit again.
+ pepperoni guy selling pepperoni sticks. Saved me from getting mudbutt from eating Pizza Pizza.
+ dealers undercutting each other's box prices. Bad for other dealers, good for me and you.
- THE SMELL. What the hell? $1,000 cards and you can't buy some effing soap? Axe is like a shower in a can for crying out loud. "Oh, but soap agitates my skin." BULL****. That agitation is what we who shower call "CLEAN".
- Fastball is still in business? Wasted my damn time last year and got right back in my bad books. And shave that damn soul patch, you look like you're dying to play a clarinet or something (and I don't mean that nicely).
- How many Joel Schmuckheimers were there selling the same turds that they were selling back in 1995? Too many. Leave, you're no longer wanted in the hobby.
- The Toronto Card Show balloons. Guys fill those things up, dammit! I don't want to tell you what they looked like...
- Ice cream for $4? What the hell?

- The smell was atrocious. Especially people farting while rummaging through cards our boxes.

-Someone telling me off for peddling free cards on their kids. Hmmm I don't know how that came to be but hey its a free country to speak your mind.
-The Heat was unbearable. I will admit I was so paranoid I was put on a tonne of cologne in the AM.
-The idiot who tried to steal from Mikeysleafs. But at least he got caught.
-Getting NO SKETCH cards in two or three indiana jones boxes HAHAHA..
-Rudeness of some dealers. Like what the hell happened to a smile.
-Balloons, and blisters on my fingers from tying the balloons up. Next year Frank can do the balloons and I will hang them.

The positives
-The beautiful women that were there.
Ya know what? While relatively few women in the house, there were more beautiful women there than usual. Once again, I think the Toronto Card Show must be doing something right and the Expo is benefiting...![]()

I was there last year and didn't see strippers outside the door, what a rip off!
You assume they were bumping in to your *** by accident.
Even 3's are 9's in a room predominantly full of men. If you looked at some of those "beautiful" women in the proper context, it would have proven to be a rough day at the mall.
our little comedy act I know amuses quite a few of you!
