Snowpex, St Paul MN

Not to hijack your thread, but the Maplewood group is a great group. They have 30 to 50 people attend each meeting. I have made many friends there. Tom does a fantastic job with the auctions. He mixes in a little humor, usually bad puns or old stale jokes, but he is such a likeable guy you can't help but laugh. When Louie does a presentation it is always very funny. He does a little stand up comedy in his "away from stamp life" and he brings it to his presentations. I have been going for 15 years and I am a little sad that the new meeting date does not work well with my work schedule, but that could change.

As far as dealers at Snowpex go, I have not been able to find Dave. I think last year they had a dozen.

If possible I think a SCF meeting would be great. If I remember correctly I believe you are correct about the number of dealers. I can do either day at any time so let me know if anyone would like to meet up for some chat & Coffee or Beer.

A meeting would be great. I am good for Saturday. How about noon? I'll be the guy with the grey hair.

Pjsstamps, You just described 90% of the guys who will show up! LOL

I'll be the one without hair! The other 10%!

I'll wear a hat, a fedora!

Yeah, I know that's why I typed it,(my weak attempt at humor) however Smauggie does not have grey hair. What percent is he at a stamp show? I'm not wearing a hat. I still plan to get there about noon.

Ran into Smaugie at work, Hell be there starting at 10AM tomorrow!

I'll be the guy with some hair left, mostly Gray

Noon works for me, Warrehouse ?

I'm not sure if I will be at the show tomorrow, but it would be fun to meet some from this group. I agree that if you haven't checked out the Maplewood Club yet, you should! I hear that there are great birthday presents :)

Getting together was a nice idea. I was there until 1:00 and did not find any of you guys. We should plan more in advance for the next show.

I got there right after 1pm, stayed until about 3pm and for the 2nd time in a row was pretty disappointed. Only about 6-8 dealers, prices through the roof and thin pickings.

I got a few covers from the dollar boxes. This was the best, Montana Territory to Washington Territory for just a buck.



I still enjoy going just to visit as much as anything.

Went there with a list of about 40 things, came home with 6, of the 6 only 2 were on the list.

What are you looking for?

I was there Sat from 12:15-1245. There were a large number of people about so it seem ackward to walk up to someone and ask "Are you pjsstamps?" LOl I was tired and did not have my list so I left early. Came back Sunday at 10AM collected about 40 items at 3 tables! Not bad!
A Get together is still in order we'll work it out.
