The rules for entry into either the store event or regional event gold piece draawings are that you purchase a full size piece (either LE or OE) or an Anchor Bay. LL's are not supposed to count to be part of the drawing for gold. St. Augustine was just adhering to the rules as published. There are dealers that are either too greedy for a sale or just don't care about the rules, but I do appreciate St. Augustine honoring the policy even at the cost of a book sale.
