That's why I don't have FaceTwit (and I have no intention of starting!)

Greg,
Johnny's display is very impressive, and based on what Matchbox I saw in his store a few years ago, has grown a lot. I wonder if the episode of Pawn Stars with the gentleman who pawned a very large Matchbox collection may have been the source for these treasures.
Either way, that episode has always lacked closure for me. If you get the oppertunity, would you please ask him what the end result of that transaction was; were the items ever claimed, was the collection sold, did Johnny end up with it?
Inquiring minds want to know!!!

I hope we can gain on our technology as we grow. The streaming idea was my sons and we had a pretty good audience. I will share your comments with him to, in the meantime I ask any who took pics to please share on this and other sites. So much goes on and it is difficult to capture all.
I do not know how else to stream without using Periscope or a downloadable program. We are trying to get the event on U-tube and will leet all know where we are if successful. Start planning for 2016 as we have already signed the contract and for 7-22 to 7-24 2016. We may add the 15th as a purely room trading day.
Please share other ideas on how we can get this event to everyone.

Having a little dinner before going to the airport Sunday night. Including Dave Weber, myself, Terry Ozima, and Scott Firmender.
Had a great time. Will take some pics of some of the items I bought this week.
