Does anyone know the amount of dealers at the Long Beach Show on Sat. compared to Thurs. and Fri?

I’ve been to the Long Beach Coin Show on Thursday and Friday, but not Saturday. It says on the Long Beach site that Saturday has limited dealers, but how many less dealers are there on Saturday compared to Thursday and Friday? Thanks for anyone’s assistance.

RE: " It says on the Long Beach site that Saturday has limited dealers,"

I think that means dealers mostly ran for the hills, and collectors should enter with very low expectations.

Some leave a bit early on Saturday, but many know that that is when the public will be there if they have lower-priced items. It seems early on that about 10% are one, but many of the others are slowly packing it up.

Thanks @RogerB and @thefinn

Many of the large national dealers in the front of the room are gone by Friday night, but there are still lots of dealers in the room to keep you busy. I recommend if you do go on Saturday you make it before noon. Many of the dealers that are still there stay long enough for the kids treasure hunt then start packing it up.

Thank you! @bigjpst

It is a shame, but it seems the dealers like their weekends too.... Unfortunately, Saturday is when many collectors can get to shows due to work.... True, they are unlikely to be high rollers...Oh well.... business is not bad if dealers do not seek out or welcome ALL customers. Cheers, RickO
