Thank you. I sent him an e-mail. Wish I could've made it this year.

Dollar-wise, this was my best SOS ever.  Like Tommy Justice said over the PA, "If you're not making money, you're asking too much."

I had a great time at the 2023 OVMS Show of Shows. It's always one of my favorite events. I saw a lot of old friends and made some new ones. Lots of incredible military collectibles. Sales were good.The crowd was huge. The weather was perfect. What more can you ask?

Another successful show in the books. The selling started in line waiting for the show to open. Wed. night sales were fantastic, and Thursday also. Friday started to slow down, and not much on Saturday. Saturday was a great day for shopping. Got some great stuff. Hats off to Bill Combs, the Ladies, and the entire staff that helped put this show together.  Had two friends come down to make their first SOS. They were in awe of the size of the show. Easily the best show in the US. Thanks again. Dave

Made my first Show, and was absolutely blown away.  I had a blast, found a ton of great items for my collection, and made quite a few friends I can’t wait to see again next year. 
 

Hands down the most impressive assortment of collectibles I’ve seen in one place in my entire life.

Jason Cobb had this Ike, but, alas it's not named ... but probably belonged to a member of the 166TH SPC.
