This past weekend's show in Wayne was probably the best attended one that I have been to, but unfortunately for me, the least fruitful.
BAs were almost non existent, and the ones there were all pretty common ones, I didn't find any late ones for sale at all.
There were a fair number of DDs, ranging from incised to paper labels, but I did notice that the electricals there were fairly high and am wondering if the dealers bumped the prices due to a certain EBayer that has been paying ridiculous amounts for these. I do know that one dealer had a list on his table with prices that this particular eBayer had paid, and when I looked through what he had, I got a little song & dance from him about how expensive these records have become. He must have thought I just fell off the apple cart!
There were some really nice machines there for the novice, and I was surprised to see a good number of Columbia coin-ops for sale.
One of the vendors had a C-2 & a C-4 Edison Radio/phono combo for sale and I was sorely tempted to grab the C-4(though I really had no room for it!) but mercifully, someone else bought it when I went back to look at it. These had both been completely gone through and sounded & looked great!
We went to the informal pre-show on saturday where some of the dealers set up and I snagged a minty copy of My Blue Heaven by VDL for five bucks. I also picked up a nice copy of Somewhere In Naples/Yoo-Hoo by Lanin's Orchestra on the 1st style black paper label as well as Hallelujah Corus/Gloria Twelfth Mass by the Gregorian Choir. Those were two bucks per and a good deal.
I bought one of Peter Dilg's latest Wizards, Me And My Shadow, and they do sound really great!
All in all it wasn't a bad show, but I came away with very little in the DD dept and zero BAs.
Hopefully, next week's show in Danbury will be more fruitful in the record dept!!!
