The Summer FUN Show, even though not as big as the January show, is still a big show by any measure. It is usually about 75% the size of the...
I've got the attribution bug for all the CB denominations. Just can't help myself.
I agree wholeheartedly. The coin should not be penalized twice. Either detail or net grade but not both. While people may quibble over the EAC...
