Made the usual trek down on Saturday , got there around noon. It was good to see all of the regular gang of Hi members plus I got to meet quite a few I hadn't before. Huge props to Bruce for his hospitality at the booth, there was a constant group of members coming and going throughout the afternoon.
I went down with a plan to open a box of BTP, little did I know Bruce was selling box's to members, needless to say I grabbed one fairly quickly and busted it at the ITG booth. Fun break, my redemption was an awesome Ward Super Glove 1/1 with a sweet silver swatch. Get to the rest in a bit with scans.
Seems Cyril had received a Sean Burke Super Glove 1/1 redemption on Friday so we did a swap and I was able to add the Burke to the PC.
I never seem to pickup too many Big M cards, they always seem overpriced to me, or I'm just cheap:D
Having no real luck as far as Mahovlich cards go I got the itch to bust a second box of BTP, sweet redemption of Pelle Lindbergh.
At any rate here are scans of the breaks and my few Big M additions.

I was really pleased with the hits from the BTP. The Varlamov /Mason Draft Day Duos is a great card of two of the games bright spots these days.
Also the Mason auto was a nice pull . The Olivier Roy Mask is the gold version.
The Mikka Wiikman jersey is awesome, great big bulging seam and stitching.
I also made another deal with Cyril for the Mahovlich Franchise auto, swapped him a Bower auto from the same set. Thanks to Doug (dlowthers) for a sweet deal on the Bower.
The Big M Notable was a freebie from my main man Rob (Tanguayfan), thanks Rob, a pleasure chatting with you as always.
I got to meet a good friend for the first time, Winston, who handed me the Mahovlich York peanut butter card, thanks a million bud, great to finally meet you.

Lastly but most assuredly not least. Ryan(TripleB) had told me he had something to give me at the show. I couldn't believe it when he handed me a Sean Burke Goalie Gear and jersey auto card. These suckers are out of /10. I can't thank you enough my friend, I know where you were coming from with this gesture and it just proves again , the gentleman you are, you rock bud.

Thats enough jawing on my part.
Thanks.
Dan.
It was a very enjoyable afternoon for me, it was nice to talk hockey and joke around with the gang and get my mind off of other things for awhile.

Awesome Burke Super Glove and some sweet Big Ms - I like the Yorkie.

Nice of Ryan to give you the Burke GG - kudos to Triple B

Thanks Ryan, this was my first crack at opening for redemptions and it was totally cool. I'll definately try again in the fall.

Dan:

I know many of us were real happy to see you made it to the show. And then to pull that deal with Cyril was pretty cool! Love your S&T's as always!!!!
 
Yeah i know :(.. I'm going to try hard to shoot for the fall.. just
sux not knowing whats going to happen with the auto industry

I'm sorry Billie, I forgot about that part and how it hits close to home for your family. Here's hoping that we're in a better climate economically by fall.

Glenn, the comraderie around the HI booth was so therapeutic for me that I thoroughly enjoyed my Expo visit, more so than any in the past.
Thanks.
Dan.
