Revenge Of Stamkosfan and other Bonsor card-show horror stories........

[87sluggo]

At one point at today's card show there were six of us SCF members crowded around Steffen (canucksfan007) and John's (Reinhart) tables, I think that's pretty cool :)



One of those guys was Eddie (stamkosfan) Lemme tell you about Eddie........he is VERY enthusiastic about SPA FW autos, and he is VERY relentless about obtaining them. I had four that he wanted plus some other Stamkos & Lightning cards and he realllllyyyyyy didn't have much in return to trade me, Im kinda......picky? But in the end he just worrrre meee downnnnn, they're just pieces of cardboard right? And Good Lord, I don't think I've EVER been as happy as him in my entire life when he got that Landyskog in his hands.....so it's all good...........


I got a keeper (Burrows) and some Kesler base cards (which are priceless in their own way) and two that I'll be selling from him in return................














Next! BIG AL!!! (PersianCanucks) .......who is not as big as I had been led to believe, I'm pretty sure I outweigh him. Anyways, I had a little stack of stuff for him and in return, I got this hand-signed piece of love........






And THIS, an original 72/73 team photo, signed by Lafleur & Richard, HOLY HABS!!!



Thanks Al, it's your HEART that's what's extra-big!!!










And then just before I had to bolt to work, I went and saw John and broke down and paid up and walked away with these.........














and














wait for it














so big that Photobucket is taking extra long to load it up














Finally!!!



9/10













And thatssssss it..................

Sounds like a great show. Always fun to meet up with a group of SCF junkies... er collectors.

That Kesler HG is a huge find. I have only ever seen a couple from that year

This is very true - whenever Andrea & I run into each other at Players Choice more money than originally planned gets spent.

I totally expected you to sleep in Ed =P. Maybe we'll see you around more now at the monthlies!

I think I counted a total of 12 SCF members around our 3 tables at 1 time. Think there were about 15 - 20 of us there in total! Was a really good turnout for a summer show!
