<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2616701, member: 71723&quot;]Again, this victory lap was more visiting old friends than buying, but I found a place to upgrade my wartime British half crown for my U.K. type set. It was a gorgeous 1945 in MS65ish condition. The same guy threw in a loose 1970 proof ha&#039;penny and thruppence. I have those series by date and I hadn&#039;t added the proof-only 1970&#039;s to either Dansco album. I have several 1970 sets, but didn&#039;t feel like breaking them up.</p><p><br /></p><p>I checked back with Nick about 3:15 and he was done and had submitted his score sheets in the World section. By this time, the Public Address system had announced what my Apple Watch had told me hours earlier. There had been a shooting event at the airport, and flight operations were shut down. Were FUN a Saturday-ending show, a Friday event might have changed some dealers&#039; plans, but since FUN runs until Sunday, the impact was negligible, except for the people glued to flat screens tuned to CNN in the hallway of the convention center.</p><p><br /></p><p>We weren&#039;t going anywhere toward the airport Friday evening, since we had long decided Friday we&#039;d scout for dinner across the ICW on the beaches areas. Before that, Nick found a dealer with several Soviet 1 rouble commemoratives from the 1980&#039;s and 1990 that were missing from his set and had a stock box pulled apart and a stack of &quot;takers&quot; started. When they announced the 5-minute warning for the day&#039;s Spider Press drawing, we settled up quickly and got there with less than a minute to go. This time I won #56 in the series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
