Wish I could go. Maybe next one.
My plan is to attend on Friday. Sorry to miss you Namvet and No Headlights! Anyone attending on Friday?
I'm about 1.5 hours from there, perhaps I should try to make this one...
Any recommendations on dealers that may have Seated Dollar Type coins? It’s the one remaining hole in my Registry Type Set, and I’m hoping to walk out with one.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Gerry Fortin will be there. He handles a lot of that. Says he will have 11 display cases. You can check out his website.

I can't make the show but will have a secret buyer out looking for me. I hope everyone has fun, stays safe and gives detailed show reports.

I'm less than 3 hours away in Central Bucks Co Pa. and a straight shot down 95. It's gonna be worth it. Peace Roy

Stay home dude. 🙄
Can't go until Saturday morning but will be there as the gates open...
Well, just Love coins, period.
Glad to hear so many are going to the show. Hope to see lots of show reports. Surprised that masks are required... Around here, outside of doctors offices and hospitals, no places are requiring them anymore. Cheers, RickO
I plan to be there Thursday. Will put Catbert on my nametag and will have a big ole white bandage on my forehead (unfortunately due to a squamous lesion yet to be removed). Hope to run into some of you guys who'll be there then.
"Got a flaming heart, can't get my fill"
Masks were "required" at the ANA show and compliance was maybe 40%.
To be candid, I expect the same here. Maybe slightly higher rates of compliance.
I'll be there Thursday, on the hunt for old holders and toners.

@Catbert I'll be looking for that bandage. I'll add @Namvet69 to my name tag. Peace Roy

I am going to try to go Friday. It depends on when Fed Ex will deliver a coin to me....

Would one of the attendees swing by the Whitman booth and ask one of the
employees about the status of the the new Cherry Pickers Guide and the
new approximate release date. Inquiring minds....
@Tibor I think I can handle that task. Peace Roy

@Namvet69 Thank you. Many members here use the CPG. I'm sure an update would be appreciated.
Yup, I've got vol. 1&2 5th edition and use them all the time.

Interesting. Thanks for that
I'm so glad I'm not making that brutal 750+ mile drive to Baltimore baby sitting my inventory! I thought about flying up to see what I could pick up but decided to sit out this one. I think it will be the 1st Baltimore show I have missed setting up at since the late 90's.
slacker.
"It's like God, Family, Country, except Sticker, Plastic, Coin."
That's not correct. The ANA "strongly recommended" that participants wear masks but it was not required to get into the show. https://www.money.org/2021-worldsfairofmoney#safety

Absolutely - I never wore a mask at the ANA. However, I did put my vaccination card in my badge holder. If a dealer had a sign requiring masks at his table, I just flashed my vaccination card and they said "Come on down!"

@Namvet69 could you also ask the Whitman folks about an update on the newest QD Bowers autobiography? There's a thread on this forum about this topic. Thank you 👍
Seemed like Baltimore was scolding dealers about mask wearing initially but left the people walking the bourse alone. I'd say mask compliance was around 40% again.
"It's like God, Family, Country, except Sticker, Plastic, Coin."
stupid, sorry but that is my opinion.
Better safe than sorry

Definitely had to wear a mask in the Baltimore Convention Center. The show was a different story but I wore mine!
