Everything 2/14 - Expo Post #2

 I'll be spending the next however many posts working my way through the Expo goodie box. Up first as I go through singles pickups, everything 2/14!

Up first, one-and-done with Gabriel Moreno. They have the "scans like crap" issues that I had with Stadium Club Chromes last post, but these do look a little better than most years.
3 more Nolan Schanuels for the binder. Having a Rookie Debut in 2023 saluted in 2024 is odd, but it still counts as a new card for his collection. Ginter this year will be an acquired taste. It is a shame I didn't realize there were state-themed inserts this year, because I could add two new Arizona/Oregon cards to the misc. binder.
I didn't have easy access to my lists at the show, so I was going by memory as to what I had and didn't have in the collection. For football, I went 1 for 3 - only Jaxon was new. At least the Jim Kelly can go into the Bills PC.
A new face for the collection! Dominic Pilote was born in 2006, but that's still a ways to go to become the youngest member of the collection.
1/3 of the card still counts as new Ehlers content. The top card is from this year's recent Series 1 release, with the bottom one going back to 2016. 
Even with them being somewhat more common with epack, this is still my first Clear
Cut base parallel in the collection. I have others in my Sens collection from group breaks and even a couple personal pulls, but my first 2/14 guy. Future (?) Jets teammate Colby Barlow has options that aren't too costly, so there may be company soon. 

Finally, one that's been on my wantlist for quite a bit over on e-pack, probably since the early days thereof. Which would make it 2016ish? Despite not really being that expensive, I still hesitated in adding it to my COMC inventory at any point. Now, $2 later at the Expo - it is mine!

I'm still not sure why I waited.

But there you have it!
