Adam is right. The promoters rented a section of the show to scantily clad Playboy err...models who were selling their photos & autographs (or you could have your pix taken with them and have IT autographed.) It was not generally well received by most. I found it to be incongruous as several shows ago they asked a dealer who was selling X rated DVD's to remove them from display because they were trying to promote a "family environment" at the show. Many of the dealers also complained and the promoter agreed it was a well intentioned mistake and won't happen again. We shall see. Terry was not there so there was the usual dearth of pre war material. Trevor's awesome "All Old Judges All The Time" booth was fun to look at and I managed to pick up two killer N162's - Sullivan and Wild Bill Hickock (GREAT visual.) Don't know why exactly but I also snagged a beautiful 52 Topps Mays that GAI pre graded as a 5 (I think it should be a 6 or better & plan to send elsewhere.) That's about it.
