Dan,

So...what did you get??? I enjoy seeing your post-show finds.

Hi Kevin,

I haven't had a chance to start imaging them yet. On the whole it was a disappointing show. I only spent about 1/3 of my budget, which never happens; I almost always go over. I spent some of the balance on a revenue collection on ebay when I got home. Oh well, more for my budget for our local show in October.

A few nice cancels, a few pieces for resale/trade, but nothing that would knock your socks off.
