Not going to be able to make it this year. I have been able to plan businees in SF at the same time as the show in the past, but not this year. |

Mark - I can't imagine what would be so important that you can't spend a few hours at a show. Do you want all of us to visit your place after we're done? |

I'm not taking enough dough to afford anything I'd really want, myself! Po' Boy, Long was F'um Home...(that's the name of the phonograph record in my favorite collecting story, by R. Crumb...) |

I paid for an original photo which was a modern reprint, I went to Tri Star, and talked two dealers down so that I could buy these: |

but you can usually find something you want or need if you look hard enough--it is a pretty big show, and just by default, some dealers are going to have nice E cards, T cards and 19th century stuff, though most is poretty mainstream. |

You MUST get there when the show opens--or everything good will be picked over. Stands to reason, no? If you don't get off work till 5 or 6, it's still worth getting there before the show closes the first day, if you can make it. |

the show was horrible, absolutely nothing, i guess i need to start getting there on friday, i think i would of had more fun watching my sister's kids if she had any, there were no t210's, t211's, t215's, t204's, t209's or n173's, maybe i should start setting up at the tristar show myself, if the next show is this bad i don't think i will attend another tristar show in s.f. |

to work at the Museum. When I arrived, there were at least 10 guys who had nice N172s--commons. I can't afford to collect commons (except Hoy and Caruthers), so I didn't buy any--but I was tempted. N173...well, that's a little beyond the scope of little old Tri Star...I was very pleased to find the t227 Marquard, and the beautiful Sleepy Bill Burns. Now I have at least two of all the gamblers and players--except Hap Felsch---I only have the photo and one W514...oh, shut up, Julie, nobody's listening... |

My lone pickup.......and yes, it was either picked over or there wasn't much there. I found 5 E92s with boatloads of paper loss, and a single E101 and E102 that were in "modified" condition. |

bcd, is correct about the show, heck the show was much bigger even 3 years ago, bill wanted $8500 for the oj your referring to, 707, wayne varner's shoebox, tik (cow palace) and about 3 other major dealers use to come set up in s.f., where are they now?, staying home on the east coast, hopefully things turn around but i don't see that happening. |

but he got sick, and didn't even come out west till much later. There are very few good shows remaining; so what else is new? There used to be a local Berkeley show about a mile from where I live, every week--in 1985. Itwas the only show i ever set up at, and sold $900 worth of cards for the American FRiends Service Committee, for African Fanmine and drought relief. Pretty good for an unknown collector in 1985 with no cards except my own collection, and nobody bought anything older than 1950--except Dennis King, who bought a creased t206 Cobb. |

I think if you compare any show today with what you remember the exact same show was like 10, 5 or even 3 years ago, you will always be disappointed. |

I know dennis king and his old store by you. I purchased my very first card(other than from a grocery store~) at the time from him. it was about 1972 or so. I am pretty sure he used to come to shows in a 56 Chevy filled with a trunk of cards! And yes jules, I too was at blessed Marc's very first show in 74. |

before there was any price guide for them--and boy, did he soak me for some! Some of the ones I refused to buy at the pridce he was asking, I later got from Gary Engel for 1/3 the price... |
