BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
People are racing to the Mechanic’s Bank Arena for the 10th annual Bakersfield Collector-Con. This convention brought together cosplayers, collectors, and vendors.
“I almost trade for my personal collection stuff more at these things than I sell and that’s what it’s about if you make a buck then you make a buck, it’s fun,” says Bill West.
Like many at the convention, Bill West, owner of Bill and Kev’s Excellent Collectibles, has spent the last 5 years collecting vintage toys, with a special focus on rare, mint-condition treasures from the 80’s.
