Jay, do you ever go to the Columbus meets? Looks like they're about 2 hours away, but some interesting stuff shows up. I was coming back from Cleveland, stayed with some friends Friday night, and hit their meet on Saturday. Even with all the ice Friday night they had a respectable turnout for a small winter meet. I'm sure there is a much larger turnout at their warmer weather meets...... just something for you to think about. I know most of my best stuff has come from meets over the years..... find another collector or two to share the ride and gas. Plan to get there early, take a set or two to sell, and have a fun day with other collectors. And congrats on your new Hippos.

I'd love to go to the Columbus meets, but I never find out about them until too late or am lacking money due to first of the year bills. Also, without fail, they schedule me to work those mornings at work every time. If I could find out ahead of time, I could try and request off.
