No show anywhere will present the quality of collectibles that can be found at this source. The finest toys and dolls in most collections were bought and sold and traded at some point in their history at this show, often appearing here more than once as their value increased and as they changed hands through the years. A walk though this show is a tour of fragile items that have amazingly survived children of all ages to endure.
No show anywhere will bring as much enjoyment to collectors as taking part in this famous show. Collectors share toy stories and toy histories with each other as they enjoy each other's favorite oldest treasures and newest finds.
