Let's do this out of order and go The Bad, The Ugly and then The Good.

The Bad-
-Dropped my wife off at the airport across the road from the Sportscard Expo for a trip to Cuba with her girlfriend :( .
-Feeling a bit ill going into the Expo but hoping it will pass :o .
-The lineup for the Upper Deck Priority Signings Redemption.

The Ugly-
-Steve's (Quincy) shirt. A blue Magnum P.I. cast off ;).
-I don't know if it's Steve's shirt but I'm REALLY not feeling good after getting done with U.D. . It took about 50 minutes to get from my postion to the front.
-Getting these two game used out of the box and a Arron A$s ham Priority ;) Signings for my troubles :( .

(All three are available FT)

The Good-
-Taking my 2 boxes of International Ice over to ITG and going for their redemption program of either 1 of 1's or 1 out of 20 cards created just for the show :).
-They have chairs to sit in while I open. Yeah! Helps when you're under the weather :).
-I crack the two boxes and I'm pleasantly surprised at how well I did :D .

(These 3 are for trade :))

- The autos from the 2 boxes were sweet! Had 2 Robinsons but I can live with that :).

All the autos are available :)

-The redemptions were killer! I traded a Huet 2 color Expo jersey for the 1 of 1 Kurri Number :D :D :D ! The Alex Radulov 2 color is an actual Nashville game used jersey!!

Most of these are available but for something shiney, lol. :)

Feeling a little bad after all that. Had to leave 2 hours in with a queasy sick feeling. Neo Citron tonite and back there tomorrow. Hoping I kick this cold. The cards sure helped :). If anyone has interest in anything please offer something because I honestly do not have time in my schedule right now to go through trade lists :rolleyes: . Sorry. Thanks for checking out my Expo thread. -Mike
 
Paging Mr Giuseffi... Mr Giuseffi, courtesy call in the lobby for you. :)

Nice ITG stuff, Mike... sorry about the Upper Dreck side, though. Feel better! :o
 
not too bad. Your priority signings is the reason I didn't do the UD. But I can officially say I was the FIRST person to get the Malking flair showcase rookie and was releived after talking to the HOTTTT UD rep ad finding out there are only about 700 available !!!!! I had a great day but dropped alot of Canadian monopoly money :D Gotta love knowing dealers and getting dealer bands
 
Mike awesome haul!:eek:

****, last night the mail post and then this! Dude, you're racking up the goodies! ITG sure knows how to do it right!:)

Upper Duck? Not so much. Sorry boutt eh bad luck there buddy. Who needs them anyway?:rolleyes:

Lol, I know Barrie, I know. Started that mission and I have a full day tomorrow with 3 copies of your list to pass around :):):). Tried to get ahold of Quincy on my way out to see if he had found anything. I spotted him tagging after Chris Carlin :rolleyes: and heard his deep voice. When I got to the end of the aisle he had disappeared. Now you would think with that shirt I could have found him, lol. Will touch base with him tomorrow morning to see if anyone has knocked any items off your list :). Thanks for the great comments and hope someday you can make it up here. -Mike
 
Hi Mike:

Nice cards my man! Sorry I missed you at the show, but maybe tomorrow. Funny though, I got that same queezy feeling near the end too. Hope it passes :rolleyes:

Maybe I'll see you tomorrow. Watch for the Eric Staal jersey (I didn't see any others).

I saw you actually with the Staal jersey on Glenn but you were busy over by the UD booth and when I turned aroung again you were gone. Will be there tomorrow and hoping I'm feeling a bit better :). -Mike
 
Let's just say this thread got better and better as things went on. An Aaron Asham Auto #/75 is hardly worth the wait. Freakin' UD.:rolleyes: Is that Quad the Gold #1/1? If so, PLMK. Great ITGU stuff BTW.;) Mike
 
Great breaks on the ITG stuff, but one question: How can the Radulov be a Nashville jersey when he only suited up for them for the first time only a couple of weeks ago?

All in all, a killer haul (with the exception of the UD kick in the junk)

No, unfortunately the quad is out of 20. I think you have one of those already don't you :(. Yeah, the Upper Deck asham ****ed big time, lol. On a nicer note I went through my U.D. box and found a Jordan Staal YG! Nice.... -Mike

Yeah, I know. I asked them at the booth and they smiled and said they got his jersey :confused: . I'll ask again today if I see Brian Price to clarify. Here's a scan of the back of the card. -Mike
