This thought just occurred to me a few days ago and I figured I throw it out there to see what the reaction/response might be.
What if everyone who registered for a major show as a dealer or collector was given a ballot in their check-in kit. On the ballot would be room for them to vote for their top 3 knives in the show. It could be based on collectable, marketable, uniqueness, or what ever they decide, but they vote for the top 3 knives of the show. Every knife that gets a fist place vote, gets 3 points, a second place gets 2 points, third place gets 1 point. The knife with the most points, gets the "Dealer's Choice Award."
What do you think?
