As often happens, I was looking for something else on the web, and came across The Antique Trader, a weekly magazine. Two articles appeared within the last six months about paper dolls and toys, and referenced not only the convention but collectors we all know. The first article by Karen O'Brien appeared in April, and features quotes by Jim Faraone; the second article by Chriss Swaney appeared in February and has quotes from Elaine Price, Letty Schwarz, Deanna Williams and many other collectors. Both articles can be read at the following links:

The Antique Trader also has some excellent links for upcoming auctions, with many photographs. Check out the Old Town auction, scheduled for June.
