== Money Loss ==


'''Myke Madison:''' We're definitely losing money on the table, leaving money on the table doing that. But also, we're maybe losing less money because we're not buying a bunch of junk that we don't know is junk.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Exactly. Exactly. So, yeah, it's a toss up. And it's a learning experience, just like you said, right? I mean, we all have to start from somewhere and, you know, finding friends at the show and learning what they're into and what to expect next. You know, that's kind of the fun, the educational process, if you will.

'''Myke Madison:''' Yeah, I've got two or three people that are my go-tos. So, like Brian McQueen is great, but he's a local resource for me, too. He lives not far from here. And then Paul Areno is great at that sort of thing. I talk to Mario Campa a lot about those kinds of things as well, if he's not busy. I mean, Brian Anderson is a wealth of information, but they're usually slammed. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So, I noticed you sat next to Brian at the auction, and he did some nice Estabrook work there, which he is known for. So, y'all definitely hit up Brian and ask him what Estabrook stuff he found there, because I think he enjoyed a couple of those, right?

'''Myke Madison:''' Yeah, he completed a couple of things in his collection that he's like, I have five of the six of these, and this is the sixth one. So, he was pretty happy with what he ended up with. I think they're going to talk about that on their podcast. So, awesome.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, we'll put a link in that show notes so y'all can go listen to the Anderson Pens podcast, which I'm sure you already do.
