Great stuff here! Thanks for posting notice of a great alternative source for vintage toys. Online auction whiners take note. Worth mentioning is that these auctions will not go near other well known auction sites, and auctions do not have sudden death times, so not easy to get sniped! If you're really old school, you can even phone, fax, or mail(yes mail) in bids. I've won a few things from these guys in previous year's auctions, and great to deal with. The auction catalogs Tom, the owner, produces are top notch gorgeous. Get one!
