Hi Shawn,
You asked,
"Do any Listers, Show goers,or Dealers have any ideas of what they think
will be top sells or top duds?"

I am going to go out on a limb here and say, we will hear about the
New-n-Cool and not so much about the duds! ;-)

Best Regards,
Greg

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?
