Bourse Dealers:

No clue. List still isn't posted less than 3 weeks out. All I've received to my inquiry is that the list is still being finalized and "Overall, there are not that many changes from 2021."

At least in years past a tentative list was posted well enough in advance that attendees could send out want lists to dealers. Not so much this year. #annoying

Obviously there are at least one or two changes in the dealer list; I believe one is now retired and I know one is now dead.

I know that Stanley Piller passed. Jim Lee is retiring after this show. Is there another retiree I'm missing?

No, I thought he already retired.

I just doublechecked, as I might have been mistaken. From his most recent newsletter:




I believe in an earlier email he mentioned that his website would be coming down at the end of the year.

I'll be in town that weekend attending a muscle car show at the Stephen's convention center. Will have to try and make it over for the stamp show.

If there any collectors of U.S. revenue material attending the show interested in doing any buy/sell/trade in the evenings after the show closes, please send me a message or email. I'll be onsite from early Thursday through mid-day on Sunday.
