Archie I agree with all you said about summer months,but as a former avid coin collector as well,I would still hit auctions,flea markets and garage sales all summer long in hopes of that one great find. That has not changed with cards,even with vacations,grandchildren,great grandchildren,I still hit as many casinos in the summer as I do in the dead of a snowy cold winter.Maybe the officers of the two big slot card "clubs" could shed light on which way the membership is trending.
