after 6 weeks my 1st Malkin auto arrived today

[pghbuccos]

I won this card April 21st and it finally arrived from Canada today...

the funny thing is I won a card that was shipped from Taiwan in 4 days but it took this card 6 weeks to get a few hundred miles.

it goes nicely with these...

I may have already asked you, but where do you live in Pittsburgh and what card shops do you go to?

 

[pghbuccos]

I live in Friendship right between Bloomfield and Shadyside. I go to Sportcards Etc in McKees Rocks/Robinson. I don't bust any wax that often so I really only go there for supplies and some NASCAR diecast.

where do you live and what shop do you go to?

Oh ok, I used to have some friends in Bloomfield.

I live near Century III mall and I usually go to the store inside the mall (1st & Goal). I don't bust much wax either, I go in there for supplies and to shoot the breeze with the owner, he's really cool.

Do you collect Steeler autos? There is a HUGE autograph signing and card show coming up at Century III at the end of May.

I haven't been in 1st & Goal for years. I will have to stop in there sometime. I actually don't like football (I know it's hard to believe in Pittsburgh) but my buddy does I will have to let him know about the signing event because he will definitely go.

Yeah, a friend of mine from work only really pays attention to hockey, when me and other co-workers start talking Steelers or Pirates he leaves the coversation, LOL!!!

I pulled the Malkin from Sportscard Junction up in the North Hills. I've had pretty good luck the 2 times I went up there. I pulled the Malkin the first time and a ITG H&P Jagr auto the second time. Not bad!!!

Tim I liked football as a kid but I kind of got out of it when the Steelers were so bad during the late 80's early 90's. my buddies always give me a hard time about it since they win all the time now but I just don't have any interest. I have never been to Sportscard Junction. where is it in the North Hills?

Bilko very nice. SOTT is another one of my favorite sets as well.

Sportscard Juction is on route 19 in North Hills. If you go past Ross Park mall for a few miles and make a left onto Cumberland and then that runs into route 19. Make a left onto 19 and then it's not very far on the right.

sounds easy to get to. maybe I will check it out this weekend.

Yeah, it's a pretty decent store. They have a TON of supplies there, more than any other store I've ever been to. They also have a decent amount of singles as well as a large selection of McFarlanes and figurine type of stuff.
