There's a show pretty much every weekend in and around Toronto, here are a couple of links (didn't include the Expo that's twice a year):

Mostly hockey but some baseball too. Also, there's lots of modern cards but I'm not into those. Sometimes the best stuff at these small shows is walked in by the customers, I've picked up a few things that way.

Jeff

Thanks, Jeff.

I appreciate the info and links!

Great finds/Pick ups, Jeff!

One of my guilty pleasures are late 80's - early 90's Jordan cards!

[jb217676]

...and some hockey! Here's a neat 1951-52 Cleveland Barons Team Issued Photo of hockey hall of famer Fred Shero!

[Stampsfan]

Part of a Christmas gift from my youngest daughter. She always gets me what I really want.

Happy New Year from Adam and Pistol Pete:

I can still smell this 1990 fleer packs and feel that think poly of the hoops packs hoping to land a Jordan or mr robinson.

That has a Beehive look to it, Jeff, but if my eyes aren't playing tricks on me, I'd say it is a one piece of paper/cardboard card, not two?

Nice P/U, again!

[jb217676]

Hi Irv,
The Shero is one piece and the paper is quite thin.

Here's something I've never seen before. A 1949-50 Cleveland Barons Christmas Card signed on the front by Publicity Director Eddie Coen. This card also has images of Johnny Bower & Bun Cook on the inside. This might be the earliest printed image of the great Johnny Bower!

[Ron]

Picked up my second antique goalie stick (circa 1910) a few months back not as nice as my first but still very hard to find

[Blackie]

Picked up MJ rookie in SGC grade of 84... bit o/c but very sharp card

[dclarkraiders]

Gretzky upgrade

[jb217676]

Picked up a 1970 O-Pee-Chee #235 Black Bottom Print Variation signed by Bobby Hull. First time I've seen one of these variations signed!

[Blackie]

Beautiful cards JB and Duane

[jb217676]

Here are a couple I've never seen before, really happy to win these on ebay!

• 1951-52 Quebec Aces Postcard of Jean Beliveau
• 1969-70 Quebec Remparts Team Issue of Guy LaFleur. Includes an early career signature of LaFleur on the back!

[Exhibitman]

those are great, JB.

This was sold to me as a signed exhibit card. I was a bit ticked off when it was 'just' a team issue with the same image but the price was really low so I kept it. My colleagues split on the signature with many saying they couldn't tell and others saying it was a nice early version. So I sent it in with the last PSA special to settle the issue:



Also re-acquired this card that I had when I was a kid; this one looks better:

Julius could rise. I first saw him just after he came over to the Sixers, at a point when supposedly his knees already were gone. He wrecked the Bullets, and had a dunk where it looked like he took off from behind the foul line. Perhaps not the greatest all around player in the world, but a fabulous athlete.

Here's a 1988 Fournier Estrellas Sealed Sticker Pack showing the Michael Jordan sticker inside

Just back from PSA, a sweet 1970 O-Pee-Chee "Black Bottom Print Variation" of Mr. Hockey Gordie Howe!

Great looking Gordie. It looks much better than the grade. Congrats.

Not the black bottom print variation, Jeff, but I just won this one minutes ago.

Watching/looking at your hockey card P/U's has got me back collecting what I loved to collect as a kid.

Thanks Stephan.

The Howe is a big upgrade for me as my other copy was loved quite a bit by me when I was a kid.

I also loved this set but never completed it as a kid. Something I have long regretted.

[sushihotwings]

JB. Love the sticker pack with Jordan showing. If you are ever interested in selling please PM me.

[jb217676]

Here's a 1936 Cleveland Falcons Real Photo Postcard of Tommy Cook. Tommy also played in the NHL with the Chicago Blackhawks.

Finally picked up a decent Gretzky rookie!

Very Nice!

A Gretzky rookie is definitely on my want list.

[jb217676]

Nice Gretzky! Here's something I've never seen before - A C.1950's Maurice Richard Ink Blotter advertising "Rocket Richard Bread"!

[jb217676]

Here's a 1934-44 Bee Hive Hockey Photo (Group I) signed by Dit Clapper. Thanks Dale!

You're welcome, Jeff!

Nice meeting and doing business with you.

The card looks great!

Thanks for all your help and advice too, I really appreciate it!

[jb217676]

Here's my pickup for the day, a 1924 Soo Greyhounds RPPC with Bun Cook.

[nicknock-2013]

Been after a Dryden autograph for a long time. Second year OPC is in real nice condition to boot.

Dit Clapper. Wow. It must be great to live in Canada. Hockey collectors dream.

Irv, just picked up a King Clancy Brian MacFarland, Dave Hodge signed Leafs program. Hope it's real anyway. Maybe you could give an opinion?

I wish I could, Neil, but I have zero experience when it comes to autographs.

I would see what jb217676 (Jeff) has to say as I would assume he has way more experience in this field than what I do.

Nice pick ups, BTW. I hope the sigs are legit.

[nicknock-2013]

Thanks Irv.

Hi guys,
Not an autograph expert but the three of them did work together. Chances are great that they are legit.
Jeff

[nicknock-2013]

Thanks Jeff. Encouraging is better than a nope.

The Clancy looks good, but most likely signed very late in life. Very shaky.

[nicknock-2013]

I was thinking the very same thing about the Clancy being signed in his later years. Compared to earlier signatures the difference is evident. Thank you for your input.
