Looks like the convention is getting some good press. The Las Vegas Review Journal article, which was posted earlier on this board, was also put on the wire services and was picked up in a few other media outlets, including print and internet. And a free-lance writer, working on an article for the Chicago Tribune (Chicago's largest newspaper)about the convention and Chicago area collectors, visited the bourse floor today. The mention below is from www.LasVegasAdvisor.com. Kudos to the clubs publicity director Sheldon Smith!
