As anyone who attended this year's CC&GTCC convention in Las Vegas knows, there were a lot of people who worked very hard, long hours, to make the show happen and to give the rest of us the opportunity to buy, sell, trade, and have more fun than is legal even in Nevada!

It's impossible to thank everyone here, although as a Board member I made it my business to thank as many people as possible in Las Vegas.

There's one group I'd like to thank publicly here, though, and that's the group of "Masters" who helped put on the best educational seminar we've had yet. The purpose, for those of you who weren't able to attend, was to give collectors - especially beginning collectors, but certainly not limited to them - the opportunity to ask questions and advice of experienced collectors.

Dick Covington, Bruce Landau, Steve Piccolo and Greg Susong were the panelists, along with moderator yours truly, and both the format and the information were well-received and appreciated by those who were able to attend.

Thanks to the four of you for contributing your time to help educate collectors!

Michael
