SoCal Camera Show Organizer, Anton, Has Passed

[BobD]

I just discovered that Anton, the shows' organizer since the 1980s, has passed away on Jan 20 according to his website:

https://www.bargaincamerashows.com/

The shows were "on hiatus" since 2020.

I was both a buyer and seller at these shows for many years. At the moment, I only know what is on the website. I will try to find out more information.

I lived for those shows in the '90's.
Moved to NC and never found another camera swap meet.
Anton is missed.

Sad news....R.I.P., Anton.

I never made it to one of Anton's shows, but used to attend Bill Bagnall's (also R.I.P.) Buena Park shows, back in the day, before I moved out of the area.

R.I.P I used to go to both of Bagnall's and Gottsdanker's shows. I fondly remember the fun and excitement.
