Some observations from today’s ANA

  1. Lot of the folks who collect coins but attending show this size for first time were completely overwhelmed. Hey no shame in taking a break and don’t feel like you have to spend all your money and buy just because you are here. There always is another day

  2. Don’t grab a dealers case light and move it around to look at coins in the case. They are clamped on and it can cause the light to fall off the table.

  3. There’s a lot of business taking place and more...

  4. We went through a boatload of candy. I’m calling in reinforcements

  5. Can’t wait for tomorrow

    For #2, if a light falls in Philly do you have to call a union worker to have put back on the table?

    I walked the WFM yesterday and it was great. Scarsdale is correct that the show was overwhelming. It was a pleasure to meet CU's including Scarsdale, Penny Lady and Fred W. and others. Scarsdale candy mound is impressive! Puts the weeny little lollipops offered by others to shame. Peace Roy

    Sounds as if the opening was really great... should be some interesting reports. Glad to hear Charmy is there... I look forward to her show report. Cheers, RickO

    I've seen several references noting that the ANA is the biggest show of the year. Doesn't that title belong to the Winter FUN show??

    I'm planning on my first FUN show in January!

    @ScarsdaleCoin Thanks for the info.

    We are leaving Boston, Ma about 4:00AM and hope to be there enjoying the show by 11:00AM.

    I think the FUN show is still considered the biggest, but the ANA is right up there.
