Come on Richie, you have to give us more information than that. What is the metric you use to calculate the average? Set number? Pieces? Age of set? For the set re-releases, do you use the old set number, or the new set number? Also, what is your (...) (21 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.loc.au)

For example, MichLTC does more shows (by a wide margin) that are put on and organized by local clubs, than shows put on by GATS. And in the case of a local (...)
