Spring Expo Recap! With weekend top 5!

Postby S4Kh4r0v on Mon May 03, 2010 1:26 am

Yup, 12 hours of driving later, I'm back in Montreal, with a lot of memories, and a much much less money... But it was definitely worth it :happy:

Before hitting the big stuff (ie ITG Superlative!) Here are some random pickups :

Image Image Image Image Image
I actually received the Goulet right before I left for the Expo. The Mueller is /12. The Brassard isn't numbered on the card, but it is limited to 50 copies. All available, except for the Kariya obviously!

Up to the Main event! I bought one pack (book) from Geoff before actually leaving to the Expo. Litteraly 5 seconds after finishing to bust it (I didn't even get up yet from the chair), I decided to open the second one in the box. I ended up opening a third one today! You can see that third break here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnCc2FOM37M . The two other breaks will be on the CnC YouTube account.


I don't remember what was in which pack, so I'll just post it by category :

Game-Used Jersey

Image Image Image
Seguin and Savard are /30, the Blake is the Gold version /9. But I still feel Seguin will create more interest ... :P

Autograph

Image Image Image Image
The three first ones are /50, the Alzner is hand-numbered 40/40.

Patch

Image Image Image
Green and Fedorov are /30, Brodeur is the Gold version /9 :happy:

Auto-Jersey

Image Image Image
Image Image
Fedorov, Nabokov and Roy are /50, Robinson is the Gold hand-numbered 2/10, Varlamov is also the Gold hand-numbered 5/10

"Bigger Hits"

Image Image Image
Giguere is hand-numbered 1/4, the triple hand-numbered 9/9, and the Richard hand-numbered 6/9. I also pulled a Joe Sakic Stickwork /9, that I sold at the Expo.

Redemptions

So if you don't already know, ITG was giving 2 Redemption cards every time you opened a book. They would all be in my Top 5, so I will just show them here (all of those are hand-numbered):

Image
Numbered 9/9

Image
Numbered 9/9, Seguin's jersey number!

Image
Numbered 5/9, Potvin's jersey number!

Image
Numbered 4/9

Image
Numbered 2/9

Image
Numbered 4/9, Hall's jersey number!


Finally, my top 5 of the weekend!

Number 5

Image
Bobby Hull 500 Goal Scorer, Hand-Numbered 1/4

Number 4

Image
Mario Lemieux History of the Conn Smythe GOLD... 1/1!

Number 3

Image
Evander Kane Auto PLUS Emblem GOLD ... 1/1! Here's a closer look at the emblem :
Image

The Numbers 2 and 1 aren't objective at all and are totally personal choices :P

Number 2

Image
From Superlative First Edition, All-Star Quad Patch of Yzerman, Brodeur, Bure, and my boy Paul Kariya... Number 9/9, Kariya jersey numbered to boot!

And Number 1 of my 2010 Spring Expo

Image
08-09 The Cup 1/1 :happy:

It's even better since it completes the rainbow :

Image Image Image Image Image

All of the Superlative stuff is available for sale only for the moment. Feel free to drop me an offer, I will be more than happy to avoid FeeBay's infamous fees!

And of course, all of the comments are appreciated :happy:

Outstanding cards!!! Love the Kane Patch and the one with Lemieux, Gilmour, Selanne, Lidstrom and Leetch. Nice to have had those guys in the firstline on your team.
