Great show this year as usual...

Did the whole circuit a couple of times. I met a bunch of very nice vendors.

Cracked 2 packs of ITG Ultimate 10th, and I must say, the whole ITG portion on my day was a blast. While I was breaking, a woman named Angie, who as it turns out, is lead cutter of patches (she showed me her callouses) for ITG, came and sat beside me. I got the inside scoop of how it's done. Not only did she encourage the guy to hit me with an awesome redemption but she also fulfilled my request and introduced me to Dr. Price (and told him I was hoping for him to autograph my card). He sat down with me a we talked hockey for a few minutes. It was brilliant. Thanks Dr. Price, it was a true pleasure to meet you and I hope you now know how much I appreciate your, 1972 The Year, release. Oh yeah, as I was walking to the bus, Angie drove by, recognized me and proceeded to give me a lift downtown. She is awesome!!

I couldn't find any of the stuff that I was looking for for other members, sorry Landsdowne Flyers, I didn't see a single gold jersey. Not a single Quest for the Cup card, JJ :( and TeamChevelle I've been told the Masterpieces you need now, are the scarce ones. Sorry to all. I really did look. I was there for four hours.

On to the acquisitions...
First off,

2 packs of ITG Ultimate 10th Edition

A great time. If I had any more money, I'd go back again tomorrow and crack some more Ultimate 10th.

Finally I'd like to send a shout out to The Icebox. I've now dealt with you in person and on EBay and you guys are great. Buy something from these guys!

Wow! great stuff. Some awesome itg 1972 pieces you picked up as well as the ultimate. Thats cool how you got to meet Dr. Price. Thanks for searching for me and if you still want my 1972's shoot me a PM!
 
Very nice breaks. I too would like to meet Dr. Price. If the Dual Koivu brothers come up for trade ever please let me know. Thanks, Cole
 
amazing cards congrats on some of your set needs!!!

the orr looks like its popping out of the card on 72-73 Scoring Leaders :beer:
 
Well I wasn't planning to, but I'm heading back. I'll take another look for your stuff guys...

What the hell, it is my birthday in a couple of days. :)

Wildfan and warsawknuckles, I'm sure we can work something out. I'll get back to you later today...

Cheers,
Brian
 
Love the look of the redemptions, Top 10, very cool.
And once again ITG does a great job on the autos.
Congrats to youfor the pick ups.
 
Just had to go back today. I haven't had this much fun in a long time... I picked up a few more 1972 The Year things and 4 more packs of ITG Ultimate 10th edition. Again, they were super nice to me at the the redemption booth (especially Angie, thanks!!).

Here is the rest of my haul. It's all pretty much for trade for my wants or for sale. No sure about the Plante artist proof. You might have to do some convincing on that one...
