Now that the 2024 Sport Card and Memorabilia Expo Edmonton has concluded, it's time to reflect back on the event that our museum was a part of.
Many weeks of planning went into selecting our museum theme for the event, then preparing our card inventory, finalizing our many prizes for our show-famous $5 drawbox, and it was definitely coming down to the wire as we completed the final touches.
Our museum theme for this event was "Back to the '80s" and it was a medium showcase that had 18 pieces of game worn goaltending history on display of 17 goalies. Our exhibition featured game worn memorabilia of Nick Ricci, Paul Harrison, Steve Baker, Gary Laskoski, Kelly Hrudey, Rollie Melanson, Darrell May, Ron Low, Jeff Reese, Steve Penney, Doug Keans, Gilles Meloche, Wendell Young, Bob Froese, Brian Hayward, Darren Eliot, and Bill Ranford on display. As expected, it was a very popular showcase for all ages with younger people learning new things about these netminders from a bygone era of pro hockey, and the older folk reminiscing about the names they themselves watched play.
As it came to cards, our company made many sales and I would say that far beyond expectation, our drawbox was the biggest hit of the show. We brought a total of 303 prizes for people to win and we returned back to our home base with less than 40 of those remaining. We got to interact with many friends, both local and also those from around Canada whom we have not seen in a while. It was also fun to interact with everyone new who came by our booths and talked hockey or purchased items from us. There was some drama at other areas at the show, but luckily we were spared of most of it with little more than the occasional nuisances coming by our area.
So all in all, it was a successful though fatiguing weekend and we cannot wait until our next museum exhibition at a time TBA.
