Sincere thanks for everyone involved with putting on the convention. This was my fifth, and they keep getting better every year. I'm already looking forward to the Riviera next June.

As fun as it is on the show floor, trading is still the most enjoyable part of the hobby for me. I traded more than ever this year and had a blast. The Sierra Lodge and Golden chips below came in trades.

It's always great to see a fellow chipper find a chip he's been hunting down for a long time. Dick Bartley found his $25 Gold Ranch, and there was no one (other than Dick, of course) happier than I was that he got it. Now I can stop looking for it for you, Dick.
