Just got back from Cleveland last night and had to say it was a pretty fun time...except when I WASN'T at the National. To anyone living in Cleveland, I don't know how you do it. Nice enough place, but MAN is it boring. We went to a nice pub in nearby Cuyahoga Falls and we discovered a great Meheekan restaurant called Chipotle (which apparently has a location in Toronto!).

Anyways, ramble, ramble...

I went down there with Tom Mok and two local TO dealers. Had a blast with these guys. We got there on Friday morning and also went on Saturday. Ran into a few HIers including someone whom I am certain is sick of taking pictures, our own Gomaz! Also met up with TheGoldenJew and said a quick hello to Jeffrey and his pops. Fawad was also walking the floor and it's always a pleasure to stop and talk with him.

There were MANY deals to be had and I did well buying and flipping cards. I brought a few back with me that I'm going to offer here and list on FeeBay if they don't move.

Here are my pickups...

AClarkCredeur-1.jpg

07/08 SP Authentic Wendel Clark Sign of the Times Autograph - FS only
2009 Topps UFC Tim Credeur RED Autograph - going to eBay


The Clark I knew about, but the Credeur RED autograph is one I have not seen yet. I've seen most of the other autos, but this one is one that I have seen ZERO sales on. I'm curious as to how this one is going to do on the 'Bay.

All in all a fun weekend, but THANK GOD they're moving it to Baltimore next year. I busted quite a bit of wax, but won't list them here (too many decent pulls to list).

If you're interested in anything, PM me. I'm leaving for New York City tomorrow but will be checking my e-mail and PMs throughout. If I take long to respond, I apologize but I will get back to you...

Great stuff, especially the MTO. :beer:

BTW, Chipotle is a national (well, North American, I guess) chain of restaurants...owned by the McDonald's corporation. Great food, though... :D
 
Great pickups, wish I could snag that MTO....

McDonald's has sold their entire stake in Chipotle; full divestment was completed in October 2006.
 
Nice work!
Did you hit up any of the auto signings? Gonna do any of the signings at the Dome this weekend?

Shoot me a price on the MTO too.

It's not owned by McDonalds anymore. They've been out since late 2006. I know because I dealt poker and blackjack at a Chipotle Christmas party in 2006. Good tips for a college kid who knows his cards.

Also, it was started in Denver (just like Qdoba and Quizno's). :D :D
 
I stand corrected (twice), McDonald's no longer owns Chipotle. The point is that the chain is all over the place and the food is frickin' delicious. :D

Back to the topic, folks. Sorry for the hijacking, BBB...
 
No problem...I'm surprised that McDonald's had anything to do with this place. Awesome food and just an all around great restaurant.
 
wow ryan. GREAT pickup on the pujols. i was just looking last night to pick one up!. congrats
 
Ryan, was nice meeting you at the National. Next time, let's have a longer hobby chat. See you at Expo?
