Great report Linus. Was it Holger that you visited ? Shame no pics as he has a very extensive collection and would have been nice to see them. Keep posting as most enjoyable.
Thanks a lot! Yes it is Holger and you are right, his collection was breath taking!

It was an awesome trip and I will do this next year, too. I couldn't imagine a better companion (or the other way round, haha) than Kay! He has so much knowledge and is a pleasant and friendly guy in every situation. I enjoyed his reports from his USA travels (albuquerque, hershey...). Thanks again Kay!
I will upload pics of the fair and my finds, soon!
Thanks for reading and posting here!
Linus
Thanks for all the compliments, Linus - I just can give them back to you!
It was a pleasure travelling with you, and I'm ready for the next shared trip(s?) next year....
But I have to admit it was a bit of an unfamiliar situation for me to being asked by other collectors for a couple of times:
"Oh, did you bring your son with you this time!?"

Yes I've heard a lot about Holger's collection but never seen it. As he outbids me sometimes I know what is in that collection so perhaps Kay can take a few pics next time he is visiting his mate.

Sorry Mick,
I think Holger does not want to show his whole collection in the Internet, so I never took pictures when I visited.....
But it is always amazing to see what he has gathered - and everytime I come back, it has grown bigger and bigger!
