As my travels brought me to Barcelona, Spain, I decided to look up Fran Alejandre, a fellow collector that I had once traded with. If you don't know him, he works in the Barcelona Casino, and is one wonderful guy. First, he brought me right to the cashier, and instructed them to sell me whatever I wanted. Then, when I told him what I needed from his traders, even though I didn't have many chips with me, he just said, "Take all the ones you need". What a class gentleman! Then he gave me some gifts from the casino, and got me into their showroom. It all goes to show what I have known for 25 years: that the people in this hobby are the best of any hobby in the world.
