I went to the Sanfilippo estate after the Union show and was absolutely amazed. For those who haven't been there before, here is a video I put together showing some of his fantastic collection. (Pictures were taken with my iPhone. Some came out a bit blurry.)

Love the stills mixed with video. Rene also made two great You Tube video's of Jasper's collection. Lots of eye candy...

Re: Pictures of Sanfilippo's Estate
The Musical Box society International is having its annual meeting in Chicago this Fall and one of the main events will be a tour and dinner at this estate. It is probably the best collection in the country, especially since the Millhouse collection in Florida was closed. I am really looking forward to seeing it.
