Jill,

My comment was only meant to show that Archie gives permission to use his catalog numbering system, but only when it is referenced to his having created it, hence "Black's Number" . However, this is only applicable to people that use the numbers and also have the obligation to make this connection. Up until I bought his book, I had no such obligation (other that courtesy) to make the connection. However, I now own the book, I read the notice, which appears as a partial release from the copyright protection, while all other rights ("all rights") are retained by the author, and therefore am conducting myself in accordance with the limitation.

I did not mean to say that you were in violation of the copyright aspect. My post was rather tongue-in-cheek, based on the lack of copyright restrictions espoused elsewhere.

I hope you will be able to bring your Harrah's collection to the Convention. If not, be sure to bring that one-armed bandit jobber. I want to see it.

Regards, Jim
