Sos 2012

[kirby]

Hello It was a decent SOS. It seemed like 20-25% more people than last year and saw a lot of money changing hands.

About the same supply of buckle but not as much quality. I only added 7 buckles but no major scores.

One dealer had 6-7 Wiedmann Police buckles mint in the wrappers. I have a near mint one but decided to make an offer but they were all gone in the first half hour of the show.

There were three dealers with identical Mining Asso. buckles. They were all priced around $500. It seemed strange to see three of them all underpriced.

There was a Teno brocade that I would love to add to my collection but it was priced higher than some of the Teno Leaders daggers at the show.

One of the German dealers had a SA High Leaders buckle. It looked good in the case but in hand it wasn't even close to the one Weitz had a couple of years ago. It also had some strange markings. The markings were more worn than the buckle and looked like Pat Au???. I can't say it was a repo but it didn't give me a good feel.

Very nice buckles. Prices varied significantly for many items. For example, I saw a DRK buckle for $185.00, and two other identical buckles priced at $275.00. When I went back to the table for the lower priced buckle it was gone.
