Al and Listers,

Al thank you for the links :)

As for the Gem/ Meteorite show I wonder what will be the hit when it comes to meteorites this year? I do know that the auction has some great meteorites and last year was good, but I would have to say this year is even better. Do any Listers, Show goers,or Dealers have any ideas of what they think will be top sells or top duds?
