~~~ shows in 1998 and 1999.

We did a couple of trades the first year and during the second show he bought 36 of these at my full catalog price without even trying to bargain since they were in worn condition compared to the few I had in their original state of preservation and knowing that I also sold 36 to another dealer and traded 36 for one rare ivory with another dealer... Sad that he passed at such an early age.
