Expo & UD Case pick ups
Some cool cards i picked up at the expo
Price is #D /25, Gretzky is #D/ 199 & that mega awesome epic Gallagher 01/25. It's so much cooler in person.
I was talking to a dealer at the expo about how horrible my UD Case was so he sent me to the Upper Deck booth & they offered me the Fowler auto & Boyle patch to keep me quiet. Appreciated, but doesn't make up for a lame $1,100 case. (ignore the price sticker on the Fowler, that's just on the sleeve lol)
Happy to get the Patrick Roy "A" Jersey in my case atleast. A Comrie/Fucale jersey for the GF's Canada PC
Some YG Canvas I pulled, a Nyquist/Jurco jersey i picked up & a Salo auto i grabbed because mine was stolen years ago lol
All could be for trade, but may take a lot of convincing to pry some free
Pretty much trying to work on my YG PC.

I got a couple cases on the way - sorry to hear it wasn't good - curious what made it so lame?

RE: Expo & UD Case pick ups
I consider it lame because i got no Auto, no Patch, only 3 exclusives, no high gloss, no real case hit or wow factor. happy with the "A" jersey, but all others were "f,g & h" A couple corner issues with base cards & just seemed like an overpriced waste since they knew people were after Mcdavid. I've heard of a few cases with no Mcdavid's at all. I did get at least 1 so that's something

That does sound lame - I bought multiple cases in 10/11 as well as 13/14. Each case had a sig. Some sort of case hit - acetate/patch and say a total of 4-6 exclusives/high gloss in each.

RE: Expo & UD Case pick ups
Congrats on some nice YG canvas hits and the Roy jersey. . .oh, and the McDavid!
I've only watched one case break all the way through (on youtube) and that had 1 auto, 1 exclusive and 2 McDavids. "overpriced waste since they knew people were after Mcdavid". . .quite possibly.
I haven't dabbled yet, will wait till after xmas as I should be thinking about spending my money on presents for others rather than trying to pick up a McDavid!
