While I was unable to attend the expo, I still managed a few pickups from there and via a trade. Gene (blueknight91) and I met up Wednesday to complete a trade while he was in town, and then he proceeded to be my eyes at the expo grabbing a few things for me. We then topped it off by sitting 2 rows behind the Sabres bench for Tuesday's Sabres/Lightning game which was awesome.
Also, Thursday when I popped in for my S1 boxes at my LCS, the BGS grading stuff had just returned so I picked up my submissions from that.
Here are the BGS results:
Sebastian Aho YG - 9.5
Alex Kerfoot YG Canvas - 9.5
Tyson Jost YG Canvas - 9.5
Mikko Rantanen YG - 9.5
No 10's this time around but everything coming back 9.5 is great. The Aho is available, all others are keepers.
Now onto the pickups. These first 2 are actually a purchase from someone in CO, but Gene did hand delivery service on these:
Tage Thompson FW Spectrum FX & FW Spectrum FX Gold /50
Jack Eichel Spectrum FX and Spectrum FX Gold /50
The following 2 come from the expo, towards my still ongoing 2010 Team USA YG project. I *think* that these 2 are the last 2 needed. If so I'll show off the completed project soon.
Jimmy Howard & John Carlson YG's
The next 3 come via trade from Gene:
Alexander Nylander Black Lustrious Rookies Patch/Auto /65
Mikko Rantanen Foil YG
Jack Eichel UD Premier Rookie Patch /199
And the last one, the best of the bunch in my opinion was scooped up for me by Gene in Toronto.
09-10 Superlative Famous Fabrics Number 1/1 - Paul Stastny
So there you have it. Happy to have gotten some things even though I couldn't make the trip. Shoutout to Gene for the trade and helping me out with acquiring the goods.
Thanks for looking, comments appreciated as always.
