Hi Joel. Yes, that's been a contentious topic, not only re: the convention trade sessions, but also in regard to the club auctions, the selling of club merchandise, "selling" dealer tables, and so on.

Would you do me a favor and bring this up in the suggestion box area of the new forums (https://chipcollectors.org)? Preferably, offer up a solution to get things started (whichever one or ones you feel would help the situation). From there, members can discuss it and the board can watch/engage officially.

Thanks -- barry
