These are some of the items I got from the Schmidt auction and Septemberfest. The first item I got in the store on Thursday morning. It was like a feeding frenzy. We all lined up and when they opened the doors everyone ran and grabbed whatever the could. I was lucky enough to get the 1942 cardboard for $90. ( Just the cardboard, I already had the frame). I saw the bottler's award the second day but thought it was priced a little high but at the end of the day I was able to negotiate a more reasonable price. I got nothing in the auction. The Mid-South Chapter of the Coca-Cola Collectors Club was holding their annual event called Septemberfest in the hotel across the street.( Where TGBWC stayed). I found 2 more convention badges to add to my collection. I now have 9 different badges. I got the 1927 blotter and a few other small items while room hopping. So even though I took a beating in the auction I still came away with some great items . And I met Ray(TGBWC)

Sounds like you had a pretty full, enjoyable weekend stay for sure !!!!
great cardboard !!!! congrats !!!!!!!
Damn. Can't go wrong for $90. I headed straight to the tables. By the time I got to the racks of cardboards, the good ones were snatched up already. And way in the back of the room, were a stack of old Coke box crates, selling for $25 each. One guy snatched up all of the good ones too.
I didn't realize we could negotiate on the stuff. Duh. I should've done that. Oh well, next March I'll be the first in line.
Great grabs Bill! I like your style brother. That cardboard sign, to get that for pennies on the dollar, DANG!

Man, seems like I'm missing out on the holy grail of coca-cola!! Sounds like a collectors paradise!
