Don NortonI stopped by for this show today, lots of older items, movie stills, comics, toys. and older cards.Dealer Don Troy had a large assortment of pin up cards.
I picked up a nice sketch by Connie Faye of Glenn from The Walking Dead.
I looked at the older cards for some of my needs, but couldn't find anything. Still a nice assortment of stuff.
Paul had an exclusive promo card for the show with a Halloween theme, available for a donation to The Treasure Chest.

webjonThanks for the show update, Don. . . We thought about going to this show, but there really wasn't any information available about who or what would be there, so we opted for other things. Hope it was a good show.

Don NortonThanks Jon. Don't know if anything there would appeal to you, lots of old comics and movie stills, some of them signed. One dealer did have a few older autographed cards. Paul had more of the Treasure Chest sketches for sale.
One dealer had lots of Pokemon stuff, cards, stuffed toys and figures. So it was a very eclectic assortment.

I miss those Treasure Chests of Art sketch drawings that Ed used to organize on the forum. It was fun and went to a good cause.
