wow 40 years later
And nothing has changed in Philly.
Circa 1982, Frank Garo of GS Gallery actually went head to head with Bob Schmeier (sic) on the same weekend. I think his first autograph guest was Joe DiMaggio,
IIRC, Needless to say after that weekend, bob and the promoters of the other big shows in the area sent out a letter saying if you do the Garo show, you can not do our show. The WIllow Grove show was so good in those days that if you left, 10 people were ready to take your place. Thus, the letter did work.
Today, I would not do anything to scare off any paying dealers. There are just not as many out there as before. To me, for Hunt Auctions thiat is the equivalent of ssaying, if you cosign to any other auctions, you can not cosign to us.
Regards
Rich
