MPC Gram
=======================================================
Series 001 Number 77 Aug 2, 2000
News and Views
I have been hearing a few comments that "things are slow." Mostly this has meant that there has not been as much "stuff" on ebay. Well, I suppose that it has been a little slow by the standard of the last 6-15 months--the most amazing period in MPC collecting.
This period of a few weeks in July in August has long been recognized as a slow period in numismatics. The general analysis is that this is because of the distractions of summer with kids being out of school and some many other (pleasant) things to do (some unpleasant ones like lawn mowing too). The other distraction is the ANA convention which is usually about the second week of August.
This is a distraction because a very large portion of the collecting population either goes to the show or is involved with those who do. This has changed somewhat in the past 10 years with the proliferation of paper money shows.
Last chance. This is your last chance to give some input on the news release about the gram and chat. We will send it out soon and would REALLY like some of your ideas!

Dear Editor,
What is the matter? You on strike?

Dear Meat,
Have just been waiting for some letter!

Calendar
In this section we will highlight MPC chat, MPC Fest, and MPC gram events. Other events will be mentioned as they get close. For planning purposes see the papermoneyworld.com calendar of events.
The next major show is the American Numismatic Association Convention (August 9-13). This year the convention will be in Philadelphia. 25 years ago the ANA convention was one of the major events for paper money. Now with the development of so many successful paper money shows (and of course the MPC Fest), its importance has diminished, but it is still an important show. Because it is such a big and important show, you cannot help but find some good paper there. Marv Mericle's great MPC collection will NOT be on display as promissed because of family and administration problems. We are certainly sorry to hear about that, but hope that all goes well with Marv and that we will see the exhibit again soon.
I will be there the entire time and will be pleased to chat MPC with you!
