Having a great time at NABA so far, except for the tornado siren at 2:05am this morning! Rolled over, said to myself "it seems like a sturdy building" and went back to sleep.
Will try to take and post a few pictures later.

[CVforMe]

Yes. Pictures would be appreciated. Can’t make it to the show cause I got to work. Thanks.

This group of pictures are from the Saturday trade show open to the public

[CVforMe]

Thanks for the pics!

This batch of pictures is from the auction yesterday. Sorry they are not all that interesting or informative, but maybe you might recognize yourself or someone else.

This was the Morean auction at the 2021 NABA convention.

Curiously, how many people in attendance were bidding vs. the traditional (these days) online bidders?

[stringsx24now]

Depended on the item, but it seemed to many that for cans, it was heavily weighted towards internet bidders, while on the other things like signs and clocks and stuff it was more even between in person bidders and internet bidders.

Do note how many people are wearing masks. This is likely a pretty fair measure of the overall hobby's opinion on the subject, and the attendant concern that will be in force in St. Louis. Might want to make your decisions with this in mind.

There was some mask wearing at the show, just didn't get in my pictures.
I was able to talk with several RB'ers, some I knew and others, like hover31/ziphippie I just met.
Had a good time and below is my take.
The congress can is an upgrade, and I won it at the afore-mentioned auction.
The bag is my 212th bag, the 14th different Falstaff bag I now have.
I have looked for a nice large Hamms flat for years. Finally pulled the trigger on one.

See you in St. Louis!
