2016 Spring Expo has come and gone --- AWESOME weekend
This is one of the best weekends of the year if you are a hockey collector. This Expo for me was very different as it was the first time I attended any show as the owner. I had always gone as a collector! With that said, there were a ton of members I met this weekend, most of which I talked to by their real names.
Before I get into the carnage, pics, images, etc. I want to first thank the following people
@CHERRYPICKER and @cmcdonald1 - Glenn and Cyril, I am extremely grateful that you invited me and SCF to be a part of your booth! It was a great weekend overall!
@30ranfordfan, @flemingc04, @ravens_creed and @Iheartjacquie - thanks for all for helping during the weekend, whether it was directly or indirectly.
@CanadianCards - thanks for promoting SCF and working with us on the ITG Final Vault Live draft.
@LeafGregg - Thank you for promo Eichel Cards that you had available. I have a couple extra (1 for my daughter who I think has a small crush on him) Eichels that I will make available to a member that was not able to attend Expo
@bprice - Thank you for watching and being a part of our breaks this weekend and providing us with some history lessons during the breaks.
@mq13, @tuukkatime, @gomaz, @99goals, @the_icebox, @JRSuperstar, @JoelCarry, @spxrules, @FrankToronto, @great8, @sjw241, @bossy'scards and many, many others - thank you for taking the time to meet me and/or talk during Expo and also during the legendary Hobby Insider dinner (yep, I crashed it! ).
Best story of the expo -
I had a kid, maybe 9 years old, come up to the booth on Saturday and ask if I had any Jack Eichel Young Guns. I told him yes (I didn't have it out) and gave him the price. He looks at his dad and told him he wanted it, so I sold it him (probably lower than I should have) and also added the Dave and Adam's Eichel YG Special card that was produced for an event in Buffalo (I had 1 extra I knew about - I found another) and gave it to the kid with a smile that went ear to ear. That was awesome!
Now for some pics
This is a first time for SCF having a presence at Expo, we needed to have a banner! (I should have had members sign this!)

Now, for some of my carnage - I did pickup a couple of lots, but in the interest of time, I'm going to show just a few hits

Scott,
It was great to meet you and putting a name to a face really encouraged me to become an active member again. Had a blast at the Dinner on Thursday night and we had a great talk about the Hobby that we both enjoy. I am glad that you had a great time and can't wait till next expo...BTW I think I can say this but you are more than welcome to hang with Ryan and me at the Canadian Cards booth in the Fall.

Excellent show Scott and it was a true pleasure working in the booth beside you. Went through my pick ups this morning and it wasn't until then did I realize that I had done so well! Look forward to future interactions with you!

it was a good time Scott!
Looks like I should have made it back for that last break.... we might need to work out some kind of deal? I kinda like that last card you're showing off.....

We will have a presence in the Fall as well.
We'll talk privately!
please do!
Awesome!! I hope that come fall, I'll be able to hang out with more folks at their booths.
Cyril - You did well this weekend! I look forward to seeing you again. I keep bugging the wife that I want to go to Atlantic Canada for a few days during our trip to Maine when we go to Camp Sunshine for DBA week.
I drafted this with you in mind. :)

It was a Great Show Overall!
I am already working on the Fall show as this past show I made many trades, had interactions with many members from this group!
Our Autographed Jersey Giveaway was a success!
Thanks to Scottkoz20 for Co-hosting the Final Vault Case Break, wearing our T-shirt proud. Cmcdonald (Cyril) for letting us use his spare display Case, TorontoCardCol for the help around the booth..
Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth, I look forward to the Fall Expo!
Thanks,
Ryan
