A common feature of most mineral events are strategies to get that first chance to see what will be available before the event formally opens and the best stuff is sold. Many collectors arrived early the day of the Mineral Market in order to get that first look, and the place was hopping by the time the event officially opened at 10:00 a.m. However, not all collectors waited even that long. Here we see John Lindell, on the left, eyeballing Rob Woodside’s material as he pulls it out of the flats at about midnight the night before the event. Robert Meyer photograph.
