I did a quick trip last weekend to the NY area to pick up rare Beatles store displays. During the visit, we did a segment on Mikey Arugula's show on Joe Mayo's YouTube channel, Mean Mr Mayo.
The two food related displays that I picked up are shown below.

I’m going to be speaking at Echo Base Live Scandinavia on Saturday August 23 in Gothenburg, Sweden. Here’s more info about the event:

This YouTube interview with Mikey Arugula was a lot of fun! And it also served as a couple of firsts for me: first time doing an interview and podcast on Beatles collectibles and also the first time ever that I’ve shared video of my vintage Beatles memorabilia.

It’s a major award!
“The belt” is out today
I visited Skywalker Vineyards last weekend with Will and Elaine Grief for the May Rosé event. Their wine club is wonderful and has some really nice perks. At the event, I saw this personalized "May the Fourth" boxed set available for purchase and had to get one.
Top photo is from Andor season two, episode four, which was filmed in 2023 depicting Saw Gerrera's base on the planet D'Qar. This episode dropped earlier this week.
The bottom photo is one I took at Greenham Common in England nine years ago.
This is a photo I took in Barbican in London a year and a half ago. This location was used for Andor Season 2 Episode 4 where Cassian and Bix go shopping on Coruscant.
Picked up my items from the framing shop: Ralph McQuarrie “Vader in flames” patch design art and Star Wars Marvel comic art. They did a brilliant job on these pieces. Now the most difficult part, finding empty wall space to hang them!
Today’s unboxing: Jabba’s Skiff Guard Vibro Ax used in Return of the Jedi. Love this piece! I only know of a couple in private collections. Last photo in the set shows one of the shots in Return of the Jedi where this particular ax was used.
Chewie's bowcaster is nice, but here's one thing Chewbacca doesn't have: the Medal of Yavin. Too soon?
This is Luke's medal, worn by Mark Hamill in the first movie (and also worn by Harrison Ford as Han Solo in rehearsals), which is also up for auction on March 26.
OMG! Chewie’s Bowcaster from the first three movies!
Visited Prop Store’s London office a couple weeks ago and visiting the Prop Store LA office today

Here is my latest blog entry on the SWCA titled Crazy Rare Star Wars Food Packaging, covering food items I’ve picked up over the past few years that are hard to find, including previously unknown items, and even one very controversial food wrapper I had to censor!
