Seeing the video that Steve posted regarding Jim Munding's first ever Casino Collectibles Show in Bellflower, CA. Brings back great memories of how much fun this hobby was right in the beginning in 1989. Over the years Jim promoted so many shows, its hard to remember them all. But, i can say this, I was there for pretty much every one of them, and they were all great. I think Jim deserves the recognition of being not only the true " PIONEER " of this hobby, but also the greatest show promoter of this hobby. His shows were the absolute best of the best.
