guests at CIV so many and a couple are odd and non SW related....
If that's the case (according to reports about same as last time or
more), it would be in my opinion for two reasons... 1) it wasn't it just looked so because I hear the venue was larger and more spread out or 2) it's on one coast and not in the middle like last time. Last time, it was moderately priced air fare wise and they got people from both coasts whereas this time, the air fare prices when I checked from east to west coast were not affordable (at least for me). No way was I paying that much for a ticket and traveling that long On Fri, 01 Jun 2007 14:05:02 -0700, barefoot wrote: and i think you can speculate on how many people were there as if you had walked around, you'd notice that it was far easier than in years past. you could look around and notice a complete drop off in attendees. m |

Actually, that's not true. Master Replicas was about 6 month or
longer before Dereks and the Topps is pretty much now. I understand where you think that though. It all dervived from the same group of people negotiating and it's semi related.

Well, not to sound cocky (I know I will be accused of it) , but I have
over 1260 DIFFERENT Star Wars autographs and over three times that total... do you have more than that? I know many fans have many hundreds too. Two friends I know have about half what I do and that's considered large. If you're talking toys etc, you win. I only have large bookmark and Hallmark ornaments set (all of them).
