It was in Bloomington. Idk why there wasn't any hockey it was all football. The packers/Vikings game possibly had something to do with it but mainly because the new product sucks, no dealers bust the new stuff.

Ive been to that show a few times. They used to get some pretty decent signers. Ex Vikings, 1980 Miracle on Ice/U of M guys but it seems to be losing traction with the community.

You can keep up to date with the signers here:

Id attribute the lack of hockey to the fact that there wasnt a season until noon yesterday and the spotlight being on Wild Card weekend.

In the past Ive picked up some great vintage hockey stuff at that show.

Keep going back!

I haven't been in Beckett for eons....but Nick is right...even in Minnesota, Hockey cards are last in line behind Football, Baseball, and even basketball. Sad!
