It seems to me that the club has had some sort of presence (exhibitions, articles, tables) in many years in the past and it seems that most coin collectors don't care at all. There are chip collectors, matchbook collectors, playing card collectors that have casino collectibles collections at least as part of their collections that don't know about us. Join some Facebook groups and that will become very obvious. There are efforts being made there, to existing collectors, that seem to be far more likely to result in new members. Why do you continually harp on the same plan over and over again? Because it worked 30 years ago? Times have changed, people have changed, and it's possible that those efforts plus what has gone on in the last 10 years have already reached a sizable percentage of that market who are open to collecting casino collectibles. What worked then often is not so effective now. The way I advertised 10 years ago is not as effective now. I'm not saying it's not worth doing. I just think the emphasis you put on this is unwarranted. Am I wrong?
