Yeah, I would have liked to buy one but as I did not go to the event I felt
that I should let the people actually going get them first and then if any were
left over I would buy one.
Never heard if any were left over and never heard about the post sale until
after it was sold out (what, did one person buy them all to sell them on
Ebay?). I will not pay $50 for one off of Ebay so that's that.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad or complaining or anything like that, it's just
that I am not quick enough to be there at the right place at the right time.
They are a very ingenious coin. Great design. I am not a big coin collector
and only buy a few that I think are great coins. This one is and I missed it.
Life goes on. Maybe there will be one at the picnic that I can bid on.

Steve Moran wants me to call him. Apparently there are several people
complaining that we didn't make enough and we didn't make them available to the
public until a week after the event. I think they are pissed off because they
didn't get one! I think he will want to convince me to mint more. The new
Director for MOGA has suggested some things that we might go with that if we
can do it. I will let him disclose the details when we have approval from
Hogwild. This will keep the coin unique and still allow more to purchase a
"common coin".

I think it was a fantastic idea, wonderful foresight on Mike's part. I don't
feel it cheapens the value either not when you sell 200 of them in ten minutes.

I agree and personally, I don’t care if the coin goes for $50.00 on EBay or if
it goes for $15.00. The people selling them are out to make money for
themselves and that money doesn’t benefit MOGA, and this money does directly.
Personally, I’d have minted as many of them as we could have sold and not
limited them to 200. But then again, that’s me.
