1. The relative paucity of slabbed offerings
2. The excellent lot descriptions (I know that Pistareen was a cataloger)
3. The size of the offering
4. The "old-fashionedness" of the auction (black-and-white photos, no internet bidding, mail bids accepted, etc.)
5. The large number of offerings of popular types (Mass half cents and Fugios, in particular)
6. The fact that Longacre has not yet received it, and I was able to review it first.
The catalog re-awakened my interest in Colonials and will have me begging my wife tonight to let me attend the show and auction. (I will let you know later whether the begging worked and what I had to give in return. )

I remember when you were a wet-behind-the-ears-member of the Southern Gold Society.
CoinFest is just a hop, skip, and a jump to the C4 convention.
