and NO chips. Coin collectors are probably the closest "cousins" that we have to chip collecting. I started out collecting coins years ago & then got into chip collecting. I still have a few coins and it still interests me, so I see nothing wrong with having coin dealers at the convention. I know that Archie is a big ANA fan & the club's magazines have won numerous ANA publication awards. It makes sense to me to try to target people that already have some type of collector "bug" versus trying to generate some collecting interest from those that may not have that "bug". Plus, anything that the club's BoD can do to both keep convention costs / losses to a minimum and more importantly to SUSTAIN our convention is a positive to me.
