Trophys at Hackensack show (1 Viewer)

[boerboy]

Well, there were not many Trophys at the Hackensack show yesterday, probably Lawrence scooped most of them before me but I still managed to find a few...
1. X-mas "willing" set came with a box and it was a special set which was only available from Jim Hillestad. This set was based on the famous X-mas postcard.
2. British Indian Army very early set (based on the horses), I hope Martyn will able to find its number in his catalogs
2. 3 Zulu figures .. and only Martyn would know by heart from what sets they came from...Martyn please...
3. A plain farm set with chickens: cheap and nice.
4. An finally another the Holy Grail of Trophys: "Dr. Watson & Kelly" set. This set came in the Under Two flags box with a provenance signed by Len in 1991. It stated that only 6-9 sets were made at his knowledge...I think we discussed previously the slightly different number of sets. Anyway, I think I should stop finding them because it's the fastest way to get broke

Man am I jealous, you got my Holy Grail of Trophys. Great job, I bet you got a good bargain. Oh man, I wouldn't trade Halloween with my 6 year old for anything...........well, maybe that set!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice pickups. I guess that's what happens when you get there an hour late

Tom,
Sorry, but you still have other 3-6 sets to find .. I did not get a bargain on this set but I think I paid high but fair price that reflects its rarity. Now I have one Watson set per each Trophy case I have which should be an ultimate goal of every Trophy collector

Found at the show

Also saw some mounted Indian Lancers, the Watson set and a few others, but passed on them as I exceeded my budget - again

 

[boerboy]

Good stuff, Lawrence, now I can see what I missed not being at dealer's setup
An unlimited budget is a dream and a goal for any Trophy collector!!
