Just thought I'd throw this out to anyone that collects. If you ever get the chance to go to one IMO it's well worth it, they don't do many shows a year & they are widely spread across the country. Tickets are free (limit of two) & each can take two items, a lot of standing in line but you meet nice people & learn a bit. We went over to Cleveland yesterday & were pleasantly surprised by three items & the forth was so-so. But a fun time but it is some standing & waiting but all in all it moves quickly for the number of people. :D

I would enjoy a day trip like that.... Thanks for posting it.

Do they have a schedule listed for upcoming destinations? What is involved in getting the tickets?

Paulie

Paulie, my wife naturally took care of all that but I do know they have a web site & they do several locations a year. As I understand it it's a luck of the draw for free tickets, Cleveland gave out 6,000 tickets & each person could take two items. They have so many people coming in per hour & all in all it goes pretty fast, they have it down to a science. The appraisers all have different areas of expertise & have seen most things before. I spent the most time at the jewelry guy because I had a ring from White Tower Hamburgers that was given for forty years service. He had never seen one & couldn't find one on the computer, not worth a million but not too bad for getting it for free. :D
