Love these stories, sounds like both sides did well, the ultimate win-win!
Yeah, it was definitely a fun time... John and I have been getting together at least once a year for about the last 8-9 years. He happens to be the cloest Wacky collector near me, but it is still a 6 hour drive (350 miles) and 2 states away. I know there are some other Wacky collectors in Central Florida, but that is even farther 450 miles... Sometimes we meet halfway at my lakehouse in Eufaula, AL which usually turns out to be a full weekend with the families, Wacky trading, great food & drinks, and excursions. This past weekend was really quite different since we had some very cool & rare items on the table. Afterwards, John, his wife Susan, and I all went to a very cool Super Bowl party in North Atlanta, which was totally awesome. His friend had three different venues set up to watch the game, and the food was incredible. Needless to say, it was a late night drive home for me but well worth the time!
