Were better but on some notes they where worse.
Yes, I remember in the early 90's when the shows really took off and I would just walk around from table to table and there where just tons of milks and kings (not that many North American milks though)and all the vendors where raking in the dough.
I had a few shows in the mid 90's where I did 5-7 grand easy over a weekend and now if I bust a couple grand its a good show.LOL....
Anyway, I have a sad little story cause you mentioned it in your post.
ok, it was (92) and I was set up and doing my first show as a vendor in San Diego at the I.R.B.A. show.There was another vendor set up (Vince Schiedt) and he had 2.2 textbook DIXONI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on his table.He had just came from England where he had did a big trade yada yada yada....Well, all dang weekend I kept going back to his table and picking the cups up and he kept saying Shannon you need those man you are the milk man blah blah....And I kept saying yeah but I really want some beter looking ones with not so many crossovers etc....Well, that was 19 freaking years ago and I have never seen another one since then.I have cryed like a little baby a couple times remembering that horrible afternoon.
The Ironic part is he sold them to a guy that was there from England!LOL..... they went back over the pond and I tried for years to track them down with no luck.
p.s. He only wanted $150.00 each for them...(wiping face now))))
