I have some reservations about selling archived TAGs together with the
showcase. I believe it could significantly affect the ability to sell the
remaining printed back issues. I would like to have a discussion about this
and to get input from Diana to find out if she is still selling them, how
many copies are left (including the bound volume four), how much revenue
they generate, etc.  I suspect that if a TAG CD was priced appropriately,
(e.g. $49-69) it would not be a problem. I would prefer to sell the
showcase for much less (e.g. $19-39). We can also consider the price that
ACA uses for its BB's..... how many they are selling... and if people are
aware of bootleg copies.
