I've set up at the Michaelangelo show 3 or 4 times before and as far as action figures go, this one is worth skipping.  Lot's of Hot Wheels (as always), but more than anything it's sports cards.  Check it out if you live on the Mountain, but I live downtown and it's just not worth the gas IMO!

Actually (and very sadly I'll add), Walmart sells more toys worldwide than anyone, almost 2 to 1 to Toys R Us (who are hurting very, very badly).  Walmart has no competition for toys.
I remember the old days (mid-80's), when the Sears and Eaton's catalogs were actually important to me and my friends.  I'd argue they're really only important to the elderly today.
Sad, sad, sad, but such is life!

I'm a little more old fashioned and prefer not to touch my filecards (being the Mint freak that I am ), so I keep mine in photo albums.  It's nice and easy for me as well, considering I collect both Canadian and U.S, take a look;







I also use those hard plastic holders for the more valuable cards;

I figure I'd put up my wants as well, I'll be set up there but my main focus at Joe Con is always to get things I need!

File Cards:
These really must be mint, no interest in creases, poor cuts or damage, and I'm happy to pay more than $1 for most of these, I'm not cheap, I just want MINT stuff.
82 HAWK Canadian
83 Viper Pilot Canadian
83 Ripcord Canadian
Also looking for MINT copies of the CANADIAN file cards of Scarlett, Steeler, Snow Job and Grunt that list them as AMERICANS, NOT Canadians.
84 Wild Weasel Canadian
I also need alot of grey 85's, I'll bring my book, you bring your doubles.
85 Keel Haul (both U.S and Canadian)
Also looking for uncut blank and red backs (mail aways), and lots of early 90's.  My list would be too extensive, just bring what you have.

I hope there will be a few guys this year with alot of high grade stuff.  If you've got it bring it because I'd really like to at least finish up to about 1987.

My personal opinion is Niagara Falls is too far for most, as the majority of people who come to the meet are from the GTA.  I now live in Hamilton (formerly Toronto), and honestly driving to Niagara Falls is a pain in the arse.  Just like when I lived in Toronto I didn't want to drive to Hamilton for the Joe meets (which I now regret), I don't (and I know others who agree with me), want to drive to Niagara Falls.  Essentially 80% of the people who came to this years meet would have a further drive, just doesn't make sense.
And just to add, my wife works at the government building downtown Hamilton and she sometimes takes the van--she pays $3 to park during the week during the day.  I know I've gone to at least 2 shows in Toronto where parking was at least $10 so I guess what I'm saying is I'd MUCH rather the show be in Niagara Falls than Toronto (this started as a Hamilton show Mike, you shouldn't fiddle with it too much).  Just my opinion of course, I thought the show was terrific this year and wouldn't change a thing.
