Parking woes led to royalty
Well I got to accompany my wife to Mississauga, as she has a work related course today. I decided to drive into Toronto and check out one of the lcs, I needed some penny sleeves and wanted to purchase more o-pee-chee to qualify for the redemption program. I needed to return to my vehicle and got there just as the ticket was placed on the window, so I figure what the heck I'll just finish up in the shop. I quickly opened the packs and didn't even look at the cards until I got back to the hotel.
One $40.00 parking ticket and 18 packs of cards to complete my redemption, one sport royalty Bobby Orr autograph priceless.
I'll scan when I get home.

Oh man, the 40 bucks will be forgotten, the Orr auto is immortal!
Kind of reminds me of the day I got my driver's license renewed at the DMV back in 2004 ... went to the LCS after that, and pulled a LeBron James auto RC/500 out of a box of SP Authentic basketball.
So every time I look at my photo on my driver's license, I am reminded of that awesome day.
You should frame that ticket! (After you pay it, LOL)

I don't want to make a habit of getting tickets to get great pulls, but this is the best ever.

Congrats on the Bobby Orr auto, too bad about the parking ticket. There is a LCS with a similar problem that I sometimes go to. It is near a bus terminal so when I go there I am in and out. I do not stand around chatting as I do not want a ticket.
