Over the weekend I published this week's unboxing video which features a 31 pound box of memorabilia from an upstate NY collection. There is a bunch of Canadian items in the collection as this guy did a lot of cross border trading. Almost miraculously the weight of the box was not made up of books or mugs - hint you will have to watch the video to see.

I had a visitor in the warehouse this weekend. It's not often that I get them but a fellow collector was in town to visit family and we made plans to meet up. He also has a warehouse space and we had good conversations about different parts of running a business and our hobby.

This coming weekend I'll have plenty more opportunities to talk shop at the VA Beach Trade-O-Ree. John Ortt sent out an email yesterday assuring everyone that the mid-week bad weather will not affect the show. I have a lot of Scouting friends in the hobby that attend this show and I try and always make it when the family calendar allows. It's held at a nice location and the Saturday morning breakfast is terrific.
