The next auction will be at the upcoming show on Saturday, November 5th, beginning at 2:30pm. One change to the auctions is that all items must be pre-registered. No walk-in items will be accepted day of auction. To pre-register items for sale and for more information contact Jack Fei at jackfei@aol.com or 651-698-1691 in the evening.

Dealers Added to Club Shows With the reopening of one of the store spaces at Valley West, TCSCC has room to add a few more dealer tables. Be sure to look for the open door and sign reading "more dealers" and go in to see what bargains they have for you.
