Recent Event, Springpex 2011

Recent Event: Springpex 2011

Having Fun at the Circuits Table!

Springpex 2011 was a great hit this year, as it usually is. Lots of stamps, lots of dealers, lots of collectors. The kids table was jamming, and Mickey Innis was wearing his characteristic Cat-in-the-Hat hat. I showed up right when he was doing a raffle of some kind, and had kids literally jumping up and down to win free collections. WSCC members Virginia Randolph and Matt Cassetta had a great turn out with the circuits table, and Don Petersen and C.A. Stillions exhibited collections.

I also brought my friend Tom Meade out there as well. Tom is a budding collector and joins me every once in a while

at the regular Wednesday night club meetings. He’s trying to figure out what to collect and how to build it, but it’s always exciting to see a new collector digging in. He’ll be back! Especially when you have an expert collector like Matt Cassetta showing you the ropes!

Proselytizing for a new collector!
