Looks like a great show, Paul. Now all we need is a deal for UK air fares

Thanks Graham, keep watching those fares though. I have seen as low as 400.00 $ US last year, unfortunately, it was very bad timing for us.Would have loved to have taken advantage on that rate,Thanks and take care,
Paul

I'll be there for sure.

Toledo is about as close to local as I get.

I'll make sure all my Detroit customers know about it.

Paul, how many tables and dealers are expected to be at this show? Is there a list on your site that I missed? I haven't been to a show in a year or two and I'm thinking of going to this one.

Thanks!!

Hi Tim,
The show will be approx 30 or so tables, approx between 10-15 dealers or so, plus approx 6 artists.
Looking forward to seeing you again. Hoping this first show is a success, Ohio has been good to us in the past.
Looking forward to making this an annual event, but all depends on this one.

Gotta start packing this weekend for the show, it's come up fast...

Just got shiny new NSU's and Red Sonja cards, so there will be new stuff to be had.

If anyone would like to arrange any trades now would be a good time to start. Just drop me a line. I can also bring some newer commons if you send me a list of what you need.

Hope to see some familiar faces and meet some new collectors as well!
