[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 7470794, member: 57463"]The turnout was strong though not all of the available tables were sold (30 out of 40). Still, it was clear that people were out to buy. [ATTACH]1293712[/ATTACH] That said, I did not find much for myself. I did find some world banknotes to replace circulated examples in my Physics and related collection. Unfortunately, the dealer who had these did not have anything organized. I wanted to pick up some extra Copernicus and Madame Curie, but he could not find the 3-ring with Poland. I saw them. I looked them over to make sure that they were uncs. But he gets to keep them. (I mean, I gotta say: nations were not alphabetized, some were in two different places in the same book and some in two different books entirely.) [ATTACH=full]1293715[/ATTACH] Anyway, I can pass my others on to friends in the local astronomy club and under similar circumstances. Most of the dealers had all the usual stuff, though there was one guy with nice points ("arrowheads") from a collection. A friend of mine did find a slabbed 1907 Liberty $5 and saved himself the postage and handling on that. I bought my table for the July show. I sell books, mostly de-accessioning my library. At these local shows I have been able to get rid of Breen, Garrett, Taxay, and bunch more like that, but still have a ways to go.[/QUOTE]
