AUGUST 2012 HIGHLIGHTS



Here are the highlights of the dice added in AUGUST 2012

EVENTS OF PARTICULAR NOTE

This month was the second biggest for the collection second only to August 2006

A large part of this is due to the 414 dice acquired at Gen Con Indy

The 39000th die was added this month and it is very likely the 40000th will be added in September
