Did anyone else hear that the winner of the uncut hockey sheets
in the mastronet auction is Mr. BGS 9.5 himself.
I hear he is on his way to Chicago to pick them up personally.
These sheets sold for close to 40K. Based on what I heard,
there is a lot of damage to them. I know that he sells uncut
sheets to customers, so I'm not yet convinced that these are
going to get cut up. However, it will be interesting to see if
we ever see some of these on ebay. The guy who won them
is a dealer, so we'll see what happens. I heard that he won
75k worth of stuff, so hopefully he won some wax that will be
for sale too.

My initial thought was like Steve's that they would be going into BGS/BVG holders.
Marc - Did you get the Quaker? and are you going to the Canadian Expo this weekend?

Hockey set! Always looking to buy, trade or upgrade 1966 Topps to 1969 OPC.
Got the quaker. Funny thing is that I sent it to another Ontario buddy to get it reholdered.
So it is in transit right now. Please keep your eye out for any more at the show. I will
be at Fort Washington this weekend. The past few Expo's in Ontario have been less exciting
than in past years. I guess there is a four letter word that could explain that.
Howitallbegan got it right on the Mr. BGS 9.5
Teemu,
This dealer sold a 1969-70 opc low series uncut sheet for 2.5k two years ago.
So you may be looking at that price again, unless he raised his asking price.
He's got six of them now, so you're chances are good. I believe he's got
6 of the 1970-71 high series as well.
Tripoli,
I agree. Those sheets will have damage on them for sure.
I won't believe that he'll be cutting them. I heard the condition is rough.
Maybe he's hoping for a BVG 9.5 Bobby Orr rookie.
However, I know virtually every Bobby Orr rookie collector
(Even had Patrick Roy look at one in Massachusettes believe it or not,
He wanted to trade a game used mask for it).
Anyway, I doubt that they would even think twice for anything outside
of PSA or SGC. However, I've been wrong before and will be again.
Guys, good luck at the Ontario show this weekend. You should see
that guy and confirm whether this information is true or false.
Please report back to these boards early on Monday.
By that team your Leafs should be in much better shape.

I really didnt have much time to spend at the show but i did buy more raw today than i have at the Toronto show since May of 2001 including PSA 8 quality 69-70 low series for half book. I went through some 71-72's including a 3200 count box of which i pulled out 4 cards that would 8 and none that i needed. I did find one 71-72 that i needed that i expect to 9
The only intersesting conversation i found amusing was a dealer telling Jason Chartrand how he could make money if he bought his complete set selling it card by card. Im thinking he will take 15 cards from that 264 card set grade them and have his money back he doesnt need any advice
If i watch one more dealer take a card out of a toploader then bang it back down on the showcase to put it back in the holder. Im going to scream. Its gotten to the point i dont even ask to look through cards dealers have in there top loaders because they toasted all the corners by not keeping them in card savers,screwdowns or sheets.

My source in Ontario must have been misled.
He networks with a couple of store owners and
dealers in the area and usually gives me sound advice.
It would have been nice to have a dealer win the sheets.
It really does have good break up value for a dealer.
I'm glad Harvey won some packs. That will give some
collectors a chance at owning some. I bid six on
the 1954 single pack and didn't come close. I'm not into
the 57's.
Good job Randy on the low series 69's.
I see that some went over 100.00 on ebay
recently. That has been the going rate
for the past year or two. The only reason
is that guys with money are willing to pay
a big price for the cards.

I also talked to Steve Pottie and he told me some interesting stuff about the Mastronet hockey lots.
Marc - turn on your PM's as I also found a dealer who had a stack of Quakers.
