After the Expo

Hello everyone and welcome to my first blog on NothinButHockeyCards' website! 

If you don't know my names Dylan Moffatt I'm from 2 YouTube channels DMoffattHockeyTimes and I have a comedy channel called DylanMoffattTV. I was asked by Riley if I wanted to join his site and help out and I was honored to be able to. 

But most of you know that this weekend was the Expo in Toronto and it's a must attend event if you're a major collector. I was able to make it out to my first one and was I ever excited! There was a ton of people, and even better HOCKEY CARDS! 

Now you're probably wondering what I got for cards, well I'm not going to show all of them but If you have me on Facebook (My name's Moffatts Hockey Cards) you would of seen I posted them all but I will show some of the higher-end stuff! 

Here's just a taste of what I got : 

Thanks for reading, hope you all liked my first post and hope you all can check out my videos on YouTube and add me on Facebook!

Best Product of the Year [2012-Now (May 2013)]

There wouldn't be much of a Hobby without hockey or any sport products. Today we will talk about hockey products in particular. If you have another sport product that strikes you as awesome, put it down!

Now as we all know, the NHL had a lockout at the near-end year of 2012 and beginning of 2013. Therefore many products and rookies have been delayed for next year, if you will. But that hasn't stopped some products. They have kept on their feet and delivered. One product that comes to mind would be 12-13 Artifacts. I love this product. Who doesn't like the excitement of getting a patch? This was a product during the lockout. There were many awesome products that came out before the lockout. Some that come to mind would be; Prime, Dominion, Rookie Anthology, SP Authentic, and for the price, Contenders. Of course there are some to forget too.

If I had to pick my very favourite product from 2012 to today it would have to be.....

12-13 Artifacts

The winner is Artifacts. There are so many reasons for it. Where do I start....... Well out of the three boxes I have busted of it, 2 for me, 1 for a group break, I have pulled a Jordan Eberle Patch/Tag 2/2, a Rookie Auto Redemption XII, and who can forget the Kovalchuk Patch/Tag/Auto 1/1?  I'd say I've done pretty well. Wouldn't you? Not only that, but this product is decent to buy by-the-pack and by-the-box. By this I mean, if you buy a pack, you are guaranteed to get something. I like my odds there. Then, if you buy a box, the odds are you are going to get something good like a patch or something even better. It is very exciting.

Another thing that I love about this product is the value. You can get it for no more than $100. Now, it's not like we all have $100 sitting around but it is no $500 The Cup now is it? I'd say the value is very good not to mention there are 1/1's in this product along with many other short-printed cards. Just these reasons above sum this product up to be a keeper. At least in my eyes. What do you guys think? What is your favourite product?

Just for good measure.......

Toronto Expo Card Show

It's almost here..... We wait through Fall, Winter, and some of Spring for this very event....... The Spring Expo!

Today is Wednesday and for those of you who may not know, the expo takes place this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

This is a card I got on my first trip to the expo. This dates back 3 or 4 years. The card holds many great memories and will not be let go of.



If you collect any cards or are a fan of sports and memorabilia, this place is a "must go". You can't miss it. It is too much to experience to just miss. But it's not only about the cards. It's the community coming together to do what they love, enjoy the hobby. You meet new people, have the occasional bargain, and make some friends. How does that not sound awesome? But wait.... There's more! No taxes! I don't know about you guys but where I live, taxes are huge and they burn bad. It ruins the whole "good deal" part of buying things. But not at the expo! No sir, buy all you want, no taxes are going there! This event sounds pretty sweet so far, huh? There is so much more. Even waiting for it is awesome. You are just so excited and put in a great mood. The bottom line is, if you are able to go to the expo, go!

I can't wait to see everyone there! Make sure to do your best to make it! I will be attending on Saturday for those who it may concern. I start the day off bright and early at 8:00 am. I then go to my 3on3 hockey game at 9:30 am. Straight after that I am on the road to the expo! Well, after my shower.....

Thanks for reading and comments are always appreciated.
