If you had a friend headed to the convention, what would be one call you'd ask him to pick up for you? Any kind, any surface. I'm thinking a Busters persimmon slate.
I'd have him grab me the first walnut over butternut short box he came across from any of the following:
Darrin Dawkins
Tim Bullock
Wendell Lancaster
Jeff McCamey
Albert Paul
Steve Mann
Milke Lapp
Trumpet
id probably get him to pick me up another turpin trumpet, possibly an ebony hen box from him as well. simply out of want , not need. I have enough calls, im kind over that phase to be honest. If its not a call im adding to a specific collection, "vintage stuff" i dont buy much anymore.
Most of your top builders more than likely have already sold most everything they had by Thursday or at least by Friday .. I would look for walnut poplar, walnut cedar, bloodwood black limba box .. In pot calls good ceramic , crystal, or glass pot call surface ... Good luck hopefully you will get a killer call from someone ...
Buster's call would be great but I don't think he'll have any for sale at the convention.
