Hello all, I am here at the convention. I am on my personal computer, a laptop, on my aol account. It is pretty busy as usual. If you have never been the room is of very average size so it gets pretty packed. Lots of strikes here. Not very many dealers that are exclusively strike sellers. I got one of the new Plaza strikes with the Silver Strikers listed on the back....everyone is scrambling for the new stuff. The lines at Osheas and the Plaza have been a pain some times. They are charging everyone to get in this year. This may sound like mutiny, But maybe the silver strikers should just break off completely and set up our own system totally seperate from the chippers. Sounds like a tough job but it would be nice to establish this hobby as a stand alone group. Anyway, I will sign on a few more itmes while here. Ask questions and I will try to help out.
