Pics/Video of the San Francisco show?

[DTM72]

For those of us who were not fortunate enough to make the show, feel free to politely rub it in our faces as to how good the show was. Elaborate on all the deals you found and the unique treasures that we all missed!

 

Seriously, hope all went well for sellers and the attendees. I mailed two items for shinsa and I'm anxiously awaiting the results. Really wanted to be there and submit them myself, but work and family have to come first.

 

Post away!

Here are a few pics of the NBTHK-AB educational lecture and hands-on display.  Sixteen sunnobi tanto, some big names (Bizen Kanemitsu, Rai Kunimitsu, Shizu Kaneuji, Mino Kanemoto, Sengo Muramasa), many of them Juyo Token.  The session leaders shown are (from left) James Lawson, Fred Weissberg, Bob Benson, Mike Yamasaki, and a camera crew from NHK.

Attendees would have seen a few Muramasa blades! Definitely go next year if you were considering it but decided not to go this year

The hotel is beautiful - very classy

NBTHK Hozon Kongobyoe still available btw! The rest sold. It was a great show with many deals to be found, amazing blades to study, and fantastic people to meet.

Thanks for the pics, always nice to see what went on.
Btw, you can upload plenty of pics in a post. Nothing stopping you except for file size or image size..otherwise you're good to go.

The problem was that a standard iPhone takes photos that are too high quality to post more than one of at a time-- so I had to edit their size manually to fit the site's requirements.
