I don't know what happened to Dave at midnight..... but Grayson and I had a great time at Kruger Street, Francis Turner's home, and the Marx Toy Museum. I am still having trouble loading pictures to this forum, but will try to put in a link with a picture of our total haul from Photo Bucket.

First off yes Johnny 's 50th is huge to be sure .
I believe the way I posted something was lost in translation there was a late night historical Marx event in wheeling ( not parking lot purchase).
Unfortunately I was a spectator so ithe details are not for me to share just gave to be patient on that.
As far as midnite toy purchase after trying to meet up all day with the owner who bought from ex employee estate about 7 yrs ago.
Glaumed the following about 9 nice loose horses, a few loose fig & access a case of 3 Elephants in shipper Sears boxes , a mint boxed Kim from safari, 2 mint botw Geronimos, a mint boxed botw Josie a unplayed original box buckboard , & the item I really wanted & neither I nor Tom, Scott or James had seen A Johnson Apollo astronaut with sealed access w stickers & instryx all sealed in a larger factory (sealed in larger bag is unusual part) so still like the day it left the factory.
