Just found out that PPI is not going to be doing the security this time. How does this happen? They are the best in the business. I've been setting up at this show for years and never had a problem. Sometimes it not about trying to save a couple bucks but about the safety and security of others. Bad move Whitman!

Wow. How did you find out? Was there an email or something that went out? If so, can you post a copy? In advance, thanks!
OT I signed up for Whitmans Email concerning their shows 5 years. Never an Email
about the show , lot of box cluttering Email about their products. They do know how
to put on a show. Gives FUN a run for their money.
Is PPI just a private security firm? What makes them so special?
BHNC #248 … 130 and counting.
I'd like to read that article (maybe)
If the security at the Baltimore show goes down, it could be end of it. With crime on the rise in Baltimore, it's not the time to cut corners.
We've always appreciated the professionalism and feeling of safety that PPI has provided at the shows they work. We've often seen other major shows that did not utilize PPI and their security left a little to be desired.
One thing that Whitman has done the past several years is that they allow the dealer trading rooms to occur in their convention building. This has been a fantastic thing that has allowed for a much safer experience at shows.
If other shows would follow that, it would reduce a good amount of stress for many.

Always a safe venue and have never had any issues of any sort having been to shows there since the Early '90s. A lot of concrete is about the worst I can say.
Well, just Love coins, period.
