Do you think maybe that it's more about the anticipation that because of the economics and the rising costs of everything, that less atendence is to be expected this year? And maybe the dealers are really expecting less sales and rightfully so. And that they are just trying to have more bizzness geared there way.... More to make the trip and their costs worth it than anything personal about the trade sessions? It is rough out there right now and it's getting worse for everybody. I would expect this years Convention to be real test of survival. And although some peoples toes are getting stepped on, I look at it as a necssity of the times and once things britten up, then things will get back to were they once were. This Club is important to have for all collectors, members or not.
