The show is always fun but as for great finds, nothing too much to speak of on my part but I can't speak for everyone.... the fall show should be good.
The highlight for me was seeing the third known C56 #37 Newsy Lalonde at BMW's table (not to mention the other stuff they had). Kinda slow for me since there wasn't alot of pre-war, but had a blast as always.
The spring show is never as big as the November one, but a few nice items come up. I got 2 Bee Hive premiums, a few food issue advertisings, 2 older autograph Maurice Richard pictures and a Gordie Howe 1950's charm medaillon.
For the gems of the show, aside from the Newsy Lalonde #37 card, I saw a nice Morenz 1922 postcard, some Pep buttons and some Sweet Caporal postcards too. Not bad!!!
Well for me; the highlights included chance to shake Marcel Dionne's hand, the Pack vintage Rats box display, Clancy night green Leafs jersey, Jack Adams whistle, those sweet cap postcards, a great Stratford team pic including Morenz, an autographed Morenz pic in Hawks uniform and a 1907 Silver Seven/Victorias ticket stub.
My pick ups were nothing so shattering; a couple of pucks, a 71-72 OPC wrapper and a Chex variation I needed. No regrets. I had fun.
