Jay, do you ever go to the Columbus meets? Looks like they're about 2 hours away, but some interesting stuff shows up. I was coming back from Cleveland, stayed with some friends Friday night, and hit their meet on Saturday. Even with all the ice Friday night they had a respectable turnout for a small winter meet. I'm sure there is a much larger turnout at their warmer weather meets...... just something for you to think about. I know most of my best stuff has come from meets over the years..... find another collector or two to share the ride and gas. Plan to get there early, take a set or two to sell, and have a fun day with other collectors. And congrats on your new Hippos.
