Another great Sport Card Expo in the books.  I've been making this trip on and off since the mid 2000's.  I came a lot less frequently when my kids were busy in sports, and weekends away weren't an option, but now that they're in that post secondary phase, there's a lot more options for getaways.

These days I set up at the show with @quincycards, which is to say I help man his booth and take a small section on the side amongst all of his awesome cards (and a good chunk of my acquisitions come from his stock).  The highlight of the Expo is always reconnecting with hobby friends from past lives on Beckett and Hobby Insider message boards.  Many of us are now at booths, but many wandering around as well, and of course there's always time for dinner and drinks after the show (regardless of how long the days are).

Started something new this show, and I'm building a small stash of card boxes, as my intent is to have a great time opening 50 boxes on my 50th birthday, so I've got a year to start getting that haul together.  All non-sport this time around, but there will be a good chunk of hockey in there eventually.
