Morning all

Received the list of new releases yesterday. Looks like Hillsboro, FL at edition size of 6,500 will be the hottest piece going. Even at $125.00, will do well. We've decioded to start taking orders now since I'm sure these will be allocated. We will require a small deposit.

St Marks FL will also do very well for us here. And I'll bet the Key West GLOW becomes one of our best sellers ever.

Remember, we are fully stocked for Christmas at this point as well. Including a dwindling supply of Old Field, NY. Think we're down to about a dozen left. Only real shortage is the new lightships. Display pieces of Columbia and Purse Seiner on the shelves but no stock as of yet.

We do have a complete set of Anchor Bay, #296, available. Will sell as complete set only - issue price. This includes Chesapeake to Columbia and includes the forthcoming Portsmouth.

Happy Holidays

Uh, yoo hoo - sixty-five hundred, six five zero zero? If true this is muy significo. Perhaps a typo? What's up?

Well folks, info from a very reliable source indicates Hillsboro Florida *will* be released in an edition size of 6500 with a price closer to the Sanibel range. This is a most surprising turn by HL marketing!

A flag fluke ala Pensacola? A response to dealer demand for faster turnover or shorter shelf-life? A belief the market needs a quick hitter to rejuvenate itself? A trial balloon? A return by HL to their roots as a maker of true collectibles? The result of too much dust on too many unsold Navesinks?

Is this a SOBR piece? Will you buy it - of course you will - my reservation was placed today.
