By RGM81 aka Richard McAdamOn Saturday, June 22nd, Players Choice Collectibles in beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia, hosted their second ITG Cross Canada Tour event. Having previously had a very successful event in 2010, owners Dean Draginda and Jason Wobshall were excited to deliver the goods again to collectors in the Okanagan. As with all other stops on the Cross Canada Tour, the main highlight of the day would be the series of specially-produced 1/1 memorabilia cards that feature the store’s logo on the front and back of the cards. Collectors who purchased a box of 2012-13 Between The Pipes would be entered into a random drawing for one of the forty cards made just for this event. Jason had posted some preview pictures on his Instagram during the week, and more than a couple of collectors in the area where highly interested in this Roberto Luongo card:

A very nice Luongo highlighted the 1/1 cards available at the Cross Canada Tour event in Kelowna.

Also included in the 1/1 binder were cards featuring Carey Price, Patrick Roy, Arturs Irbe, Jonathan Quick, and hometown Kelowna Rockets prospect Jordon Cooke. Nearly every card in the collection featured a multi-colour memorabilia piece, though none was more coveted than the Luongo pictured above. For all the slack he has been given by fans and media, Luongo remains a very popular figure for many fans and collectors.

Thank you Dr. Price for this initiative!
