  15. Thanks for the photos.
    I was there today and REALLY enjoyed the display of former AMBR winners. About half of the former winners were in the display.

    Okay, the story... This year they are celebrating 100 years of Barris. Georges daughter Joji is here and theyre selling G.B. signed books for 15 bucks and had a model kit and a few other things. I grabbed the model kit to build with my kid, it was only ten bucks and he has never built one before, fun father/son project! Then I see an older book on the table, only one...
    20250131_172745.jpg
    I ask if its for sale, they call Joji over and she says "Ohh that ones out of print. Its actually out of our family library." I said of course, I understand. Then she says "You know what? Give me 45 bucks for it, Im ready to let it go." Of course I pony up fast as I can, She then offers to sign it for me if I want, Of course!

    Then she says "Hold on right there." I say okay, she goes away and comes back with her purse... she says "I have a present for you." Then she hands me the small interior Barris badge. The guy selling stuff with her shouted "what!?" She said "Oh, he will enjoy it more than I will." I thanked her profusely and thats the story behind the badge.

    Now that I see your pic, we were in Building 9 at the same time, who could miss that hat? Once or twice we had to move around each other to take photos. I think around the Munster coach for one, maybe around the Batmobile. Building 9 is great, isn't it?

    Thanks for the photos, nice job. Your Joji Barris story is great, I think that book you bought is unusual to find in hardcover, I imagine there were very few produced. Look at the way a softcover was trimmed and glued to the h/c binding. And to top it off she gave you a genuine, treasured momento from the shop.
