I hate to say that this year's CPMX was pretty much a bust for me. I did not get there until Saturday and only had a few hours before my presentation. Not many world dealers and my favorite US dealer (Lowell Horwedel) was not set up on Saturday. Aside from two pieces of Canadian Depression Scrip and a WWII Philippine gas ration coupon I got from Ian Marshall, the only other items I picked up were common notes with wild animals for my brother-in-law's collection (he is a zookeeper). There appeared to be little foot traffic on Saturday. On a positive note, the presentation went well (at least I thought so). About 30 people attended.
Thanks for the report lettow. I was tracking the Lynn Knight Auction online last night, watching some spirited bidding from floor bidders as well as web bidders.
