UBB.threads Forums Thread Like Summary - The Mighty MAX Show 2022, York PA.

Surprise!!! nothing here!!! , YET.. Thats because we're leaving tomorrow!!

Say a little prayer my camera works ok. IF it does I'll get you guys the fabulous photos I get every year of the show.. 1000 tables [I think] of mainly WWII militaria both Allied and Axis! Almost every insignia, medals, badges, equipment, paper,daggers, and sometimes a ring or 2... So look next week and hopefully you'll see the stuff of collectors dreams!!

Some more cool stuff, crowds, tables, items... Considering it is a smaller show [ size, tables, etc] I think around 900 tables[?] but for a new show and its size it was good. Most dealers and buyers I spoke to had a good time and made money and picked up some good pieces..

Herman Goring Div Luftwaffe Rank ring,,can't really tell from photo but enamel had lots of cracks but all there,,,,expensive,, but sold quickly..

Lady with MGs,,very nice, and had a great candy bowl for us weary buyers!

seeing that wood box makes many leery about collecting ID tags... Always go with the distinguished / Special /Unique font..

Lots of interesting items.. Like a museum you can buy from!! More tomorrow!

Vern, much thanks!! Ed,,those daggers have been squirreled away for many years.. There was another , same guy bought all 4. One was to an oak leafs winner,,,2 had research doe on them. and I think at least 2 had the owners initials on the cross guards.

Some more shots of the show:

_ , * check out the spray paint..Only 3 shown,,,but there was a few more...- Want to repro up a helmet, or piece of equipment,,,there's the correct paint for it!!, just apply some aging and you have a good fake!

don't know about anyone else but we had a very good show.. Sold a LOT!! and I somehow managed to find some goodies for myself...

For now some show shots,,inside cases,,,good deals all around!

Cufflinks sold the 1st day,,$300.

ok,, more and more,,,,,

These 3 army daggers and one more ,,also,,the first day,,,gone!

and more,,,,,,,,,,,,, all sorts of stuff...

I was gone a few days so have much to catch up on here at home,,,,but will post more,,,

more.. A lot of unique and rare items:

more:

Plenty of nice and interesting items... Real nice Luftwaffe ring,,,very expensive,,don't think that sold..

More later -

my pleasure Benten.., Plenty more to come too!

This is 2nd day shot,,,crowd pretty good. No mad rush but steady and people buying and selling..

,, There was a dealer from Spain there.. I picked up some items. I am low on Legion Condor / Spanish civil war...

I picked this up,,,This is a 'drape' . Has a pin at each end. Could be worn by a man or woman.. Good workmanship..

- I recognize the 2 Spanish flags, and the Italian, and of course the Swastika,,,,but what is that other one?? - - - small,, Green & Red at right ends of photo.

,, More:

As far as rings... US rings especially enamels were bringing in very good prices..

WW1 rings [German] continue to be not as popular and prices still on the fair side..

WWII rings were in short supply and were expensive. There wasn't the hoard/onslaught of fakes thats usually seen. Sure fakes but not as many seen..
- Honor Rings,, few and far between. Think I saw around 6 that I'd say were good..

Don Boyle did not have a table, was a walker on the hunt but says hello to all his old fans.. I asked him about the new HR book from Antonio.. I got a 'no comment'...

I also picked up this beauty.. I have this parren in decent condition and dug condition.. But this is one of the best condition Skull & Rivet rings I now own! Just a trace of the messing seen towards rear of band and a few tiny spots. The photos don't do it justice... A keeper for me..

more later....

Thank you guys.. Wish we all could have been there.. Its really like a museum that you can buy from.. Over 900 tables,,I only saw about 3/4 of the show! - * This photo is just a small part of one corner of the show!!

Going to start a new topic with the rings I got there:

SOS in Kentucky is the next show. A lot bigger than the MAX believe it or not.. I don't go anymore but IF any of you have the opportunity you should go!

- I'll be at the next MAX. It's close for me and will get bigger each year...
