Are you going to the Show this week? If so, what day?
Thursday seems to be the best day to be there as Wednesday is set up and dealers could leave early Friday.
I have been to several of these and always in New Orleans.
I would like to meet other Collector Form members…

Came close to going to this one. We have family coming in from out of town, so not this time. Always liked the NOLA member shows!

Surely somebody here will be at the New Orleans show…
Anyone? …Anyone?
You scared them all away!
Looks like I did!
I guess others couldn’t handle someone smarter and better looking being in the same room.
I believe the show is open to all on Wednesday. At least in the past for the LV shows it was.
Also the NewO show is thru/into Saturday with submission into Friday (but I suspect many will leave on Friday as you noted).
In LV it is Friday and sub's into Thur.

Your humble collector is planning to be there Wednesday at least.
Show reports please. I like New Orleans, been there a few times - mostly business, but time to enjoy the city as well. Good food, fun in the French Quarter. Cheers, RickO
I had planned to attend the show today (Thursday). A family issue will keep me from going.
Who did you see?
What did you buy?
I wish you folks could have joined me at the PCGS member show in New Orleans. I had planned to go Wednesday, but really bad weather set me back a day. Thursday was a magnificently sunny day — and a reminder that the hot season is just about upon us in south Louisiana.
The show was held at the hotel of Harrah’s casino in downtown New Orleans, a couple of blocks from the French Quarter. About 20 or so dealers were exhibiting. Talk about some high-grade coins, especially in the gold category!
The highlight of my show was meeting John Brush and John Call of David Lawrence. They nabbed my show allowance with a 1936 satin Buffalo proof that had been the subject of a lengthy hunt by yours truly. Can’t wait to show it off!
I had four grading vouchers from PCGS. I’d never submitted my own coins, so a PCGS rep showed me the ropes. Submitted a 2021 O-privy Morgan, a 2021 Peace and the two-coin 2021 ASE reverse proof set. Total cost:$32 for the mailing cost. PCGS says there’s currently a 50-day processing time for routine submissions.
Before you ask, I did not venture into the casino, knowing I would hear the siren of the blackjack tables. I’m out of shape on the tables and need to work with my blackjack trainer before playing.
All in all, it was a happy few hours.
Thanks for the report.Good that you found something on your want list !
Thanks for the report.
John is a good guy. Wish I could have been there.
We’ll meet up another time.
Watched part of the Legend Auctions auction. Bidder #830 bought a significant amount of the $3 Gold collection.

About 20 or so dealers were exhibiting.
That sounds about the same as the pcgs shows in LV. I have never been to one in NewO but from what I had been told about the past NewO ones (now about 3 year ago) they were a little bigger than this or the typical LV (and I do get you are making a rough estimate). But glad it worked for you.

I was there for two days. On a plane now returning back to SF. Great show. Even better location.
Kudos to PCGS. I love rotation of great cities to host the show.
San Francisco next?
