Interesting observations. I’ve never been either since I live in the Chicago area, but am considering a trip there this fall. I’d have to drive in case I found some goodies which is a brutal 12 hours. Luckily for us we have a great show each November in Milwaukee that a lot of the major venders some to as do the manufacturers.
What did it seem like the breakdown of production eras was like for items for sale? A lot of post war, MPC, etc. Thanks!
