Dealers appreciate the support given by the CTCS show organizers, club members and other dealers who, collectively, make this show an exciting event to attend. Collectors anticipate "show day" as they look ahead to a truly exciting venue, and the opportunity to add that elusive piece to their collection. show is Canada's premier collectors toy show, and has the reputation for being 'the friendly show'. Show hours run until 3 pm on October 16th, 2016, a fact appreciated by the dealers who can then pack up any remaining wares and get a start on returning to their homes before it it too late in the day. There are plans in the works for it to go on display in the upcoming months in other communities throughout Ontario. Many of these are in mint museum condition and in 2014 many were on public display at an exhibition of Canadian toys in the Malton Gallery at Pearson International Airport in Toronto, Ontario. That collection now numbers over 800 pieces comprising dolls, games, trucks, die cast cars, tricycles, dolls houses, construction kits, and peddle cars. This is the place to find rare Canadian toys, and some years ago the executive of the Society set up a fund to purchase rare Canadian toys to prevent them from leaving the country. Many shows have suffered in recent years with the popularity of eBay as a source for collecting, but the advantage of visiting specialized shows like Canada’s Greatest Collectors’ Toy Show is that you can handle the goods, see the condition for yourself, compare prices, haggle or even just window shop. This is also the venue to find out about forgotten pieces that have been kept in the attic, dusted off and brought to the show, as here is the one place a year to find genuine authorities on the toys.

Real enthusiasts often purchase an early bird pass to gain entry & snap up those really sought after pieces. What is great news for avid toy collectors is the fact that early bird floor trading rights can be obtained for both setup sessions, enabling collectors to get a first look at the wares for sale and perhaps score that perfect addition to their collection before the general masses enter at 9 am Sunday morning. Then again, on the morning of Sunday October 16th between 6:30 a.m. The action actually starts in the afternoon of the preceeding day as toy dealers from across Canada as well as from several international countries gather in the afternoon, between the hours of 5:30 pm and 9:00 pm on Octoto set up their tables and booths. The CTCS show will have over 150 dealer tables and several booths which will be available on a first-come-first-served basis.
