Toy collection - estate sale - for anyone living near Oak Ridge,TN (USA)
Just saw this: Dr. Rueff Toy Collection Sale. What do you think? Worth checking out?

According to his Obit, he also collected antique cars (1:1).

Pictures & descriptions do not look like too much we might want.

I've requested a list of the lots, they do mention Tootsie, Corgi, Dinky so Karl, David H., and I could find items of interest. Chris too if he was over here. But I didn't see any boxes, so if the items aren't mint, I may have little interest.
Still, it's annoying that I never met the guy. I wonder how many other diecast collectors are lurking in the Knoxville-Oak Ridge area that I don't even know about.
It's a 3-day auction, I may try to make one of the days.

More on this estate sale
It's an estate SALE, not auction, so I may take Friday off and check it out.
There's a "Part 2" sale in early November. I don't know if this is to catch up the unsold items, or if there's so much that they can't do it all at once. OR, they may price items high the first go-around, and cut prices in November.
The more I look at pics though, the less I am impressed with the condition and rarity of items.
