A huge thanks to everyone who donated so far and looking forward to many more. Lets keep it up !!!!!

I myself have a large collection of personals, but I can tell you folks, there are at least 30 that I received that were not even in my own personal collection !!!!

This WILL be the largest single group of personals auctioned at one time and someone will have the opportunity to have one of the best personal collections out there. Many of the chips being offered (Including some of mine) are NOT available for trade anymore.

A week or so before I leave for Vegas I will make a post on the board and start accepting bids. I will also take Proxy bids with me to vegas and am toying with the idea of even allowing phone bids.

That way everyone can bid on this great lot including those not attending the convention.
