WSSCA's 40th was a good show with great people
Stopped by Saturday from 10:30 til 2:30 or so. I would have stayed longer but I knew a couple of errands had to be run. Enjoyed talking with several guys: Matt & Andrew, Mike Cotton, Keith Schnieder & Liz, Mark Macrae, Dave Peterson and others.
Picked up some starter Zeenuts (actually most of the '33 set) from Matt & Andrew, autographed postcards, Seattle Union Oils and a few other neat items.
The show was a good one but the banter among dealers and buyers is always the high point. Talking over the early days (WSSCA shows started in '73) with a fellow founding member (Larry Moe) made 4 decades past seem like yesterday. The show was almost as good as our Edmonds "buy" of 1972-73 when we picked up a large collection of T206, T205, some E cards and miscellaneous others. Then going to my house to "draft" our choices.
All in all, a very good show which should not be missed if you are near Seattle/Shoreline in late May/early June or November. (WSSCA shows have been twice-a-year for 2-3 years now.)
Thanks to all who made it a VERY enjoyable time!
