WCCF was never in San Mateo.
Perhaps John Craig's Computer Swap (usually in San Jose)
or Computer Swap America?
There were at least 4 outfits that had swaps at San Mateo County
Fairgrounds.

My favorite was the time that Shugart showed up with a tractor trailer of
"administrative returns", prototypes!, trade show samples, etc.
