I'll be there - maybe for the whole thing! (Well, probably not Sunday, Sunday is a bummer at big shows)
Singing Santas and Wrong Way Streets ?? Have Fun Again.

on Friday and Saturday (November 8 & 9) from 10 A.M. to 7 P.M.
and on Sunday (November 10) from 10 A.M. to 4 P.M. There is
always FREE ADMISSION for public and guests to attend.
Thursday (November 7) is Dealer Setup and "Super Bourse" from
9 A.M. to 7 P.M. Non-tabled dealers gain entry with a $75.00
Registration Fee ($25.00 of which goes directly to Children's
Hospital) Two company checks are required, one to Children's
Hospital for $25.00 (minimum) and the second to Baltimore
Coin and Currency Convention LLC for $50.00. A business card
and Sales Tax Number are required for entry. Dealers Only.
If there is enough interest, I would be happy to set up a meeting
room for the members of this forum, so everyone can get together
and meet each other. There is no charge for this. The earliest time
on Saturday that is available is 4 P.M. The meeting room is also
available on Friday (one meeting already scheduled for 4-5 P.M.)
Please let me know if there is enough interest.
The Baltimore Coin and Currency Convention is one of the largest
and strongest numismatic business conventions in the world, and
the November 8-10, 2002 Convention will be our largest to date.
Over 1000 dealers are expected to attend the Convention during
the weekend. Many new dealers will be joining us for the first time.
There are less than 10 dealer tables remaining at this time, and we
will be starting a waiting list for table space very shortly. Dealers
intersted in table space should call Ed Kuszmar at 561-392-8551
as soon as possible. This space will not last much longer.
The Bowers and Merena auction is going to be huge and include
scarce and rare United States Coins, some extremely rare United
States Currency, Foreign Coins, and Exonumia. There will also be
an Exonumia and Political Memorabilia Auction by Presidential Coin
and Antiques including the Don Hansen collection of Inaugural
Medals and Memorabilia and the Arlie Slabaugh collection of Relic
Medals. For more information on the auctions call Bowers & Merena
at 800-458-4646 or Joe Levine at Presidential at 703-354-5455.
In attenance will be representatives of Grading and Authentication
Services including: ANACS, PCGS, NGC, ICG, PCI, and Numistrust.
There will be several hobby supply dealers available including
Tidewater Coin Supply, Safe Publications, Air-Tite Holders, etc.
Representatives of the new Eureka Trading Systems will present
information to dealers concerning their new internet dealer system.
World famous movie star, Conrad Brooks (The King of the B Movies)
will be present to sign autographs, and to offer videos of some of
the worst movies ever produced (which he acted in).

Every major dealer will be there and will be ready for biz. My strong suggestion-because of the HUGE B+M sale, many dealers are coming extra early to view lots. I seriously doubt that come Sat afternoon many will still be there (auction lot viewing STARTS Monday this time I believe). If you can, play hooky from work on Friday (or even better, pay the $75 and go thursday) and you'll get the best deals!
Gordon and Ed really do put on the BEST show!

for each session and lot viewing are being finalized. I will run that
information in the near future. Not sure at this point if lot viewing
will start on Tuesday or Monday (at the Marriott) and then auction
lots can be viewed at the Baltimore Convention Center starting at
1 P.M. on Wednesday.
Lot viewing for the Presidential Exonumia and Political Memorabilia
Auction will start at Noon on Friday at the Convention. Table 10.
The physical auction will be held at 6 P.M. on Saturday evening,
in Room 301 of the Baltimore Convention Center.
Feel free to ask about any information concerning the Convention.
I will be away running the Lakeland, Florida "Collectorama Show"
this coming weekend, but as soon as I return I will reply to any
questions you may have. Ed Kuszmar
Long Beach used to be a much better show and and one time was (in my opinion) #1, but the last few years of price increases and generally poor management of LB has seemed to relegate Long Beach as still the top wholesaling show in the country but not much else. The retail traffic is way off from that of years ago despite Califiornia's relenting to the coin hobby on the sales tax issue.
Just my opinion.

with as a kid (showing my age). Really bad movies but they have
a cult following fifty years later. I bought some videos from Conrad
and really had some grins when I watched them. He is a very
colorful character and if you are coming to Baltimore be sure to stop
by his table and meet him. He also acted in the Ed Wood movie that
came out a couple of years ago. Ed Kuszmar
