I am one of the 175 that took the time to nominate at least one item on the long list of OTY'S. I am also one of the collectors that complained that not enought people seem to be interested in the whole process. I have come to believe that there are more people willing to complain than there are will to follow the rules and vote. As you can see from my membership number that I haven't been around too long. A little over three years but I have voted each time since I joined. A lot of people spend a lot of time making sure that everyone can have an opportunity to view all potential chips, silver strikes, cards, tokens on the club website before sending in their nomination forms. I would bet a paycheck (If I had one coming) that if everyone had an opportunity to vote after the nominations that it would still be a very poor turn out with less than 25% sending in the forms. Especially if they had to put a 37 cent stamp on it. Just my two cents worth.
