Hey @ValiantKnight : Happy New Year and see you on Thursday. Just want to let you know that the FUN shows kind of breaks up the dealers into what...

We're definitely going to have to meet up for a day. Not sure what we'll talk about though. See you Thursday, and Happy New Year!

There's been a lot of talk on the site recently about coin giveaways via Secret Santa and I certainly think that's very worthwhile and would love...
