Thanks Matt!

I will also be there with tables representing Treefrog Treasures as well as tables representing Tom's Treasures (I know, original huh! actually it was but that is a long story!). Will have a big mix of Retired Items from all makers from my collection as well as a large influx of St. Petersburg Studios including HM, Aeroart as well as many affordable figures from other studios, some vintage, some knew. Additionally, I have pared down some of my own commissioned and/or purchased commissioned Artists Pieces. Lots of them on display.

Just a quick note to all who attended, the show was a lot of fun, seems like it flew by too quick, but it was probably the most well attended show I have seen in a February since I have been going! So maybe we are on an uptick.

Also, quick story - a high schooler my son's age came in with his Dad who was a stamp collector, not a history guy but his son has been looking for a hobby. Well, he went right for the gold - Russian figures and Aeroart in particular. Thor (owner of Aeroart) spent about 20 minutes at my table using some of his older figures to explain what they were, how made, and the history behind it. Thor sold the young man one of my aeroart Romans! The kid was thrilled and his Dad said, well, we might as well look at the new stuff too, so off to the Aeroart table they went and proceeded to add 2 more figures. What a wonderful start to the kid's hobby! When I was young, Trophy was a treat at 15 pounds (27.50) in those days a figure and I thought I hit the jackpot, this young guy is in at 125 and higher!
