Some advice for traveling the Coin Show Circuit

Any coin show enthusiast has surely known this pain: biting into a hot dog or hamburger freshly dressed with ketchup, mustard and/or relish only to have a huge blob of the stuff go splat right down the front of your shirt.
When that happens, use a spoon or butter knife to lift the offending matter up and away from the fabric; then, if you have nothing else on hand, dab water on the remaining stain, which will begin to flush the fabric. Shout Wipes or hand sanitizer, if you have them, are great for treating stains caused by errant condiments — hand sanitizer has a high concentration of alcohol, which works well on many food stains when gently massaged into soiled fabric.
Of the three popular hot dog and hamburger condiments, mustard is the one you should most fear, especially if it’s classic yellow mustard, which gets its hue from turmeric. The salt-and-lemon juice technique that works so well on rust stains is also fairly effective at treating mustard stains.

Thanks !!!
Some smart dealer is gonna print up advertising bibs.
Now that has possibilities. Same paper as dentist bibs....paper facing out and water proof backing.
I would not mind the fashion statement I may display @Azurescens....I will spread a dinner napkin over my top
I would not have any problem with the stain because now you see it now you don't of my skin
@Paradisefound ...That's the secret.... eat the hot dogs in the nude....hmmmmm OK... I will leave now....
Cheers, RickO
These mustard stain jokes are played out
I wear a black t shirt undershirt with a polo / golf shirt over it. When time to eat pull off polo shirt. Black shirt best for food stains. Wolfing down jack n box or Taco Bell stains can happen. No white shirts for me
I love show food and Wolf it down quickly. No fine food expensive hotel restaurants for me.
Naw --- None of that prissy cleaning stuff. Just tell the guy sitting next to you to suck the condiment out of your shirt.... OH, and promise to return the favor "real soon."
Just wear that mustard stain as a badge of honor. Other dealers will recognize you as being one of them.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

I do not have that problem because I do not put anything on a hot dog.
Actually both PCGS & NGC should provide a bib w/their logos free to all addendees
Hopefully this post helps some of you this 4th of July. The lime and salt can be used for margaritas if you fail to spill on your clothing!
Or.. suck it out of your shirt like a normal man and crack a beer.
PCGS ungraded bib in a sample slab will be the next big thing.
don't stop for food after leaving the show. Crooks are following and robbing coin dealers/buyers.

Wear black, travel incognito, never let your inventory out of sight until safely in your case in the bourse room.
Show food is good , as I wear black not afraid of spills.
