    Hi,

    The expo starts Friday so there's nothing going on until then. There is still plenty of cool stuff you could use that extra day doing down here in Toronto.

    My wife and I will have our booth #711 (at the end of the aisle in front of the bathrooms - T&S Collectibles). The Expo is a great time with tons of stuff to buy and trade. Feel free to stop by our booth as we will have all of our cards out, including all of our hockey, UFC, football and baseball. We will be cracking boxes during all three days, plus buying and trading! See everyone there!

    That's why most of the nicest items are gone... unless someone asks an unrealistic price in cash :)

    I go to the EXPO every year on the Friday. I get there around 1PM and usually manage to be inside the bldg by 130. I spend the first 2 or 3 hours just walking up and down the rows checking to see who has what or anything I am interested in. I mark down there table name and number on a piece of paper I carry. Then around 5 I grab a guick bite to eat and check my my list. Then it is back to the tables I marked down and usually you can dicker with them on the prices as they fluctuate a lot from dealer to dealer. Remember, dont buy the first card you need that you see, some other dealer always has it cheaper.

    I'm going for the first time on Friday. My flight gets in around 2:00 so I'm thinking I should be there by 2:30. Is there going to be a line-up to get into the expo?

    The lineup usually starts about noon but by 130 you can just walk in and pay you admission and away you go. Have a good time guy and bring lots of money. Some great deals and they dont charge any tax.

    Most only take cash. It costs them extra to get a phone line run to the booths. There is an ATM but you get hit with the SC as usual
