INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND POST A PICTURE!

Hey Everyone

My name is Ryan, I am an Eskimo die hard and have been a season ticket holder since 2004. I have to admit that I have been lurking on the site for something like 10 years but I finally decided that I should actually sign up and join the conversation, so here I am. I look forward to talking Esks with all the fine fans on this site.

Welcome

[CFL Fans in TO]

Hello folks! My name is Kevin, and I'm a Ticats fan who is based in Toronto. Last year, a few friends and I started up a meetup group called CFL Fans in Toronto with a mission to bring together Toronto-based CFL fans of all stripes to catch CFL game broadcasts and celebrate our league.

Astonishing but true: until last season, Canada’s largest city completely lacked a ‘home base’ where CFL fans knew they could go to find fellow fans catching the game together. But times have changed! CFL Fans in Toronto brings together Toronto-based CFL fans of all stripes to catch CFL game broadcasts and celebrate our league. Our goal is to create the festive atmosphere that one experiences at Grey Cup Week, throughout the CFL season. In 2017, we're hosting an event approximately once per month.

I've come to this site as a way of trying to reach out to Esks fans who might be based in the big smoke. I hope this is ok with you fine folks!

Cheers,
Kevin

PS: Visited your city for Grey Cup in 2010 and had an absolute blast! :-)

I'm otherwise known as Balticfox.



I've been a hardcore CFL fan since catching part of the 1958 Grey Cup Game on the radio in the living room. The 1959 Topps CFL cards were the first bubble gum cards I ever collected as a kid. Here are some shots from my present day set:













I have a vague memory of getting them in this first wrapper here although some were evidently also distributed in this second wrapper which Topps had used previously for the 1958 NFL cards:





I'm still a big card collector to the present day. In addition between my spouse and myself we have nearly forty CFL jerseys, all with a Radically Canadian patch stitched onto them!

I'd start a thread, but this program doesn't allow me to do so yet.

I think you'll be able to pretty soon; you just have to have a certain number of posts.

Ahh, that was a fun read. Shame that most of the attached photos are gone now, but still fun to go back and hear people talking about Esks swag.

Yay, victory! I succeeded in getting the pictures of my cards to reappear by editing my post.
