GREAT JOB DOC AS ALWAYS

Great report and great photos to boot.
I saw a few items in the photos that I didn`t even notice at the show. I guess I missed lots by arriving 1/2 hour late.
The best pic. is the one of those two guys holding up the Gulfcrest pump plates. How did you get those two good looking dudes to pose for a photo without paying them?

------------------

Nice job, Doc! Those Time pump plates are quite aways from home. Did you see what the asking price was on them?

SORRY, TOM ....DIDN'T SEE THE PRICES. WOULD ASSUME THEY WERE HIGH AS THEY WERE 3 DIFF IN THE TRIO. THE SMALL FLYING "A" IN OTHER PICTURE HAD A TAG $2,500.00!
SO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION!

DOC @ TAG

Great pics. What were those Time plates going for?????????? Ted

TED, THE ANSWER ABOVE YOUR POST WAS TO SAME QUESTION BY TOM....I WANTED TO CHECK THE PRICES BUT A FRIEND DRAGGED ME AWAY AND FROM THERE I BOUNCED AROUND THE ROOMAND NEVER GOT BACK TO THOSE TIME PLATES. VERY NICE COND THOUGH....NEAR MINT I'D SAY.

DOC @ TAG

The Time Special which I think is the rare one had 3500.00 on it- the others about 1500 ea- none sold- Looking for that one person that has to have it- might not exist-

------------------
Wanted 5 quart cans

Boys and Girls:

Thanks DOC for the pictures. It's kewl to see everything and not have to worry about getting in trouble with the Keeper. Since I never made it to the show - I didn't spend money I wasn't supposed to! But we all still get to see the goodies.

Later . . .

Jim
