Thanks John...the response you received isn't entirely accurate, though--All Star was rolling blanks and selling them to/through their authorized distributors like ourselves through spring, 2004. We've had a significant backorder with them since May, so it appears they halted production on the blanks once Shakespeare took over.

I did speak to the person responsible for the blank program this afternoon, and he confirmed the blank program has been scratched. I also know Sharon Johnson in the Houston plant is attempting to lobby the head office to find a way to keep this alive, but I would surmise we've probably lost a truly great blank.

Anyway, just an fyi.
