First off, I'd like to wish everyone a happy new year. Hope everyone is safe, happy, and ready to get plenty of autographs.

2006 was certainly a pretty great year for our community:

• We passed the 16,000 member plateau in mid December, as more and more collectors continuie to join in on the fun of collecting autographs.
  
• This week we should have our 300,000th successes - just an amazing accomplishment.
  
• This year we added the Autograph Trading section, and there are over 12,000 items listed as of today.
  
• In November we launched a great site to help auction users get great deals - http://www.AuctionCapture.com
  
• Unfortunately ther were so many great sports personalities that have passed on this year and are no longer able to sign any longer.
