That's "BeagleFest".  BeagleFest VII was
held July 4-7, 2002.

This is probably quite common.  Disney
pin collecting/trading is big at the
Disney theme parks.

Peanuts and Disney items are readily
available.  Peanuts licenses out its
characters, so there are a lot of mer-
chandise.  Disney gives a lot of at-
tention to its pins.  They even create
limited edition pins just for Ebay.
Their seller name is "disneyauctionears"
(where "ears" references Mickey Mouse).

If Groo items were as readily available,
then perhaps, possibly, just maybe some
people would have collections that rival
Peanuts collectors' or Disney collectors'
collections.  Can't imagine who would
have that, though.

There are some people who buy the entire
rack of new comics.

Neal Adams said he gets all the comics,
then keeps a trash can with him when he
sorts them out ...

See you.
