The Return of the Card Show

 Hello Friends!

Today I went to the card show that I went to last month. They held another one today. A second test show to gauge interest. It was busier than the first one, which is a good sign.. They said there's one in Feb, but they're not sure of the date because the day they booked originally has something about a Superb Owl.. 

Anyway, before I went,  I had to deal with a little weather. I admit the first few times it looks nice, but after a while it can F right off.. 

EXPOS!!!!

One of the vendors that was there the first time and I talked between shows. He put together a box of Expos for me. Mainly team sets from the 80s that he has packaged up at home. 

That box of Expos was $20. Not a bad price if I do say so myself.. 

There were a few vendors that had vintage cards. Obviously I was interested in the baseball, but there was a lot of hockey and one had football, including 60s OPC CFL cards.. If I ever expanded into collecting CFL, that would be something to consider. 

Anyway, Ron Taylor! As an Astro!

I have to say I love the early Diamond Kings. Here we have Steve Rogers from 83

Some other 83s I needed for the team set. The rest are going to be housed in the Million Expos Project. 

84 Donruss. I have to say, I love this design. I feel that this would be one of the more expensive ones to try to complete. 

A 69 OPC Pete Ward. It's nice finding Canadians in the wild.. 

Andre Dawson OPC! I didn't have a copy of this card yet, so here's one now!

1983 Stuart Bakeries. I found out something today while entering them in on TCDB. There are some cards that are missing the writing on the bottom right corner of the photo. You can see that on the Wallach. These are considered error cards, as they did print corrected ones with the writing in place. 

I did end up getting one more card for a friend. He's reimbursing me for it. (Man, you got expensive tastes!) 

1973-74 OPC WHA.. He's missing three cards. Well, two now.. Bolly Hull and Jacques Plante. This one was marked at $75, but I got it for $40. 

I'm looking forward to the next one now. Hopefully it's February 1. I know the date they originally scheduled will cause nobody to be there (including vendors, I think)
