First big show in years and had a blast. My one day off for the entire month of March and I spent 4 hours driving and 6 hours walking the show. Quickly ascertained that all Baltimore-related pre-war stuff had been wiped out on Friday. I stayed focused on some sets, which eliminated all the shiney (modern and slabbed) tables.

Best parts of the show were meeting Ted Z., who gave me a great deal on some needed stuff and Ted G. who happened to be at Ted's booth. Then tracked down Dan McKee to say Hi to a fellow Balti-moron.
There has got to be some place in the Philly, Balto, D.C. urban areas that can host a show like this. The facility was o.k., but Reading? Dealers said today was very slow.

My impression of the pre-war material was that it had been seen many times or was new to the market at a premium.

Hopefully, Ted Z. will remember my suggestion.
