I went to Collect-A-Con on Saturday and had a great day. Here are some pictures I wanted to share:
Giant Pikachu welcomed everyone into the hall.
First time going to the Orlando convention center. The place is massive btw.
It’s the convention floor. Lots of card enthusiasts here.
Hey everybody, it’s Jason Paige - singer of the original Pokemon theme song. He kicked ass during his performance, lots of energy. I was signing along too. He thanked me for bringing cash, and told me to tell @trainofthought “Hi”.
Shoutout to E4 Discord. I think I brought the perfect card for him to sign. Gonna hold onto this one.
I think I found the two most valuable cards at the convention. Unfortunately I was 4 to 5 digits short in my bank account to be able to purchase. Someone else had that that super ballin Tom Brady Rookie Contender as well.
I also met @garyis2000. He was at a booth with his wife and daughter. I stopped by and chatted for a couple of minutes.
I didn’t get a picture, but I got a picture of a picture. Apparently Gary and Master P are co-founders of a new company. Way to go!
No shortage of sealed vintage:
Obligatory Furry. I thought the backpack was pretty wild.
Got to see Vanilla Ice perform the Ninja Rap with the Ninja Turtles. A childhood dream fulfilled. He was definitely cool as ice.
“Drop that Zero and Get with a Hero”.
No biggie, just a dozen or so sealed boxes for sale.
Some pickups from the con. I’ve wanted a Treecko gold star for a while in any condition, and I found a beat up one for a great price.
Also some waifu’s, some base set cards and random promos I like. All fun binder stuff. Stoked I just happened to be around during 2 MZ promo handouts.
Hope to see you there next year!
