I am waiting at the gate to board my flight for Orlando and the FUN show.
Excited? Yes
Nervous? A little…
Disappointed? Some. I wish I could have chatted with a few dealers who won’t be there .
Early Bird? Is there any other way?
Itching to buy something? You betcha!

I’m vaccinated, boostered, and masked, with lots of hand sanitizer.

If you’re going to be there, pls PM me.
I hope to meet more forum members.

    I'm not prioritizing any buys and opted to skip this year, but I usually go. Nothing like that kind of selection to be viewed in hand under loupe.

    Good luck. Before covid hit my house I was supposed to leave today at 630pm. Have been getting updates that due to "staff shortages" my flight is delayed
    So glad I am sitting at home in front of the fire with a good book

    Frontier. Out of milwaukee. Tickets were only 61 dollars round trip so I never tried to get a refund. Maybe if they cancel the flight I will get a refund
    At this point only 30 minutes.

    Heritage lot viewing this evening. Pretty slow in the room. This years location for FUN was a hike! The OCC has two huge buildings. In 2020, pre Covid, FUN was held in the East West building between the two Rosen hotels. This year it’s being held across the street in the North South building, BUT on the backside of the building. The FUN organization was put in the back 40 this year. Doesn’t seem right with their long history in Orlando but it looked to me like the Surf Show took up nearly all of the East West building.

  • amwldcoinamwldcoin Posts: 11,269 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That Surf Show has been there as long as I can remember. There was always lottsa eye candy strutting the halls if you were board with the coin show! :#

    When going to FUN on Universal drive you have to turn into the parking lot on the west side of the building, it looks like the east side is for the surf show

    @Pnies20 - was that a cherry pick, since the variety isn’t noted on the insert?

    I would say no. It’s a sneaky tough coin but doesn’t break the bank.
