I planned to attend the VIP welcome reception and sneak peek. One of the autograph guests was a hockey player, Eddie Giacomin. I don't follow hockey, and had never heard of him.
I Goggled him; Detroit Redwings, New York Rangers, Rangsrs retired number, Hall of Fame; sounds like my kind of guy.
I found an interesting card on eBay. It was located in Canada, and I pulled the trigger. It arrived the Saturday before the convention.
A 1965-66 Coca Cola card. My first hockey card, and autograph....it's a good one.
