I am the last person in the world to support Rene BUT he is a collector who is putting his money on the line to present a chip show and I applaud him for it. I don't think that $5 is too much for an admission fee. Even the International Convention charges admission. To not support this effort because of $5 or petty politics is just silly and not good for the hobby in the long run. Remember that there are dealers at this show who need sales to ensure their presence at other shows. Let's show our support for them and maybe even pick up a few good chips in the process.
