Toronto has been spoiled with an incredible rookie class for the Maple Leafs this season and fans are collecting in record numbers in the Ontario market. Many trading card releases have completely sold out because of the incredible interest in new Upper Deck NHL® products this season. The 2017 Sport Card & Memorabilia Expo on May 5, 6 & 7 at the International Centre in Mississauga is sure to be an event that sees record crowds as Leafs fans in particular look to acquire collectibles of the incredible Toronto rookies who have made their debut this year.
When there is a lot to cheer for in Toronto, the lines can be a little long to get into the Expo. Make sure you look at some of the different ticketing packages available!
Make your travel plans now and prepare to get your boxes or cases of Upper Deck hockey products from this season to take part in some very exciting programs. You will want to make sure you purchase from Upper Deck Certified Diamond Dealers (they will have large yellow balloons flying overhead). Only these dealers will be able to provide you with special vouchers to participate in Upper Deck programs.
Dealers taking part in Upper Deck wrapper redemption programs are easy to find with large yellow balloons over their booths.
