    Sundays have been pretty dead for a while; four days just ends up being largely unnecessary for most of the business that is normally conducted. Excited that Baltimore is happening, though!

    That's a lot of real estate, and a good thing for the coin collecting community.

    I’m surprised you missed the email from a few days back

    I would like to go but going is not possible

    I wonder if they’ve given in to “what happens” or if it’s just the Sunday before Thanksgiving

    For various mumbly reasons I have the card flyer from the November 2017 Baltimore show under my keyboard; it was also in halls A/B/C back then.

    The last few times I attended the show on Saturday, many of the dealers were
    tripping over each other to leave. By noon there weren't many left. To get the
    best experience, go on Thursday and Friday.

  • DelawareDoonsDelawareDoons Posts: 3,413 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I will be there Thursday. I'll be showing around a stacker friend trying to get into coins, as well as meeting up with a couple other friends to give them some advice on coins.

    If you want me to verbally shred your newps, feel free to PM me and we can meet while I am there. :lol:

    I will be there on Thursday. Was going to go on Saturday but forgot I had a wedding to attend in NYC that weekend. Never been and was wondering if there is more or anything different from the fri-sat compared to going on Thursday?

    Was recently up in Baltimore to the train museum up there...
    The city of Baltimore has had some very interesting changes to public restroom policy in the city!
    Awesome Train Museum though...for those who are interested in steam trains and need some extra things to do.

    Enjoy the show everyone. I am already looking forward to the Central States show in April and the ANA in August.

    That is great news.... Looking forward to lots of show reports.... Cheers, RickO

    I will be attending this show and I have an idea.

    Let's put our forum name under our real name on our show name tag so we can introduce ourselves if we meet 😎

  • JimWJimW Posts: 564 ✭✭✭✭

    I'll be there on Saturday... any suggestions on safe/inexpensive parking (realizing those terms may be contradictory...)?

    SHERATON INNER HARBOR HOTEL

    They have a parking garage close to Convention Center

    You can walk to the Harbor too

    I will be attending on Thursday. Flying in and out same-day as I have no desire to linger around Baltimore. Excited to find some nice coins!!

    Nothing is as expensive as free money.

    Smart Move...DO NOT LINGER around the area at all - ESPECIALLY at night.
    The criminal element in Baltimore will be WELL aware of a coin expo going on and will look for those coming and going.

    The Police there don't care - the Mayor does not care - no one in that city cares about anything - it's gone to hell in a handbasket over the past 10-15 years.

    The best thing to probably do is the fly in and take an Uber to the Convention Center and then Uber back to the Airport!

    Note: I've been going to Baltimore off and on for the past 25 years - I know what I'm talking about!!
    You used to be safe in the inner harbor area...but not even the inner harbor area is safe anymore.

    This is just one example of how bad it has gotten...granted, this was a few years ago - it's ONLY gotten worse!

    I will be there the whole time, including all of Saturday - TABLE 843 - please stop by, say hi, check out all my Pretty Pennies (the biggest inventory I've had in a long time) and be sure to let me know if you'd like to be in my show report! Can't wait!!

    I'm like @HoneyMarket , I was thinking about flying up but given rampant increases in crimes in most major cities I'm going to sit this one out and sit back and watch.

    I've been setting up at that show since the late 90's and agree 100% with HoneyMarket's assessment!

  • DelawareDoonsDelawareDoons Posts: 3,413 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I go Thursdays. Doesn't open til 12 and it's about a 2 hour drive, so I leave around 9:30, get some Chic-Fil-A on my way, and then park at the garage right across the street. From there it's a 2 minute walk into the convention center, and you're in. Spend until 5pm on bourse, then head home, stop in Aberdeen for Prost German and get home around 8.

    I will be there. Anybody wants to meet up, PM me. I'll try to make the time, but I have a crammed schedule, I'll be walking around with a new collector.
