Texas Lincoln collector/dealer dinner during TNA?

RELLA · April 8, 2003 12:21PM

I was hoping to organize an informal meeting during the May TNA in Fort Worth, possibly on Friday night after show hours. Board members please reply or PM me...y'all know who you are. I'm also working on tracking down the likely suspects who are not regulars here to include them in the gathering. Let me know...

keithdagen · April 8, 2003 12:26PM

I'd be in for anything, even weird copper collectors.

RELLA · April 8, 2003 12:42PM

Keith,

You WILL be required to prove ownership of at least one PCGS Lincoln to be included...if that is a problem for you I'm sure you could fix it by visiting some of LincolnCentMan's fine eBay auctions (shameless plug for business friend that I just asked a favor of).

I'll followup in this thread with a lockdown on time, place and attendees after I get some confirmations in.

LincolnCentMan · April 8, 2003 12:51PM

Man, with a plug like that... I'm in for dinner. I'll even bring a PCGS cent

.

David

keithdagen · April 8, 2003 11:20PM

I actually own seven, count them seven, Lincoln cents graded by PCGS. Granted, two are on E-Bay.

jbsteven · April 9, 2003 7:22AM

I might be free for dinner that night? wanna let a long haired dealer attend?

Coppernicus · April 9, 2003 8:33AM

LincolnCentMan - Good Luck on your new dealer status!!

Mike

dpoole · April 9, 2003 10:55AM

I'm in, Rella!

RELLA · April 10, 2003 11:56AM

Looks like we're getting a good start to this...plus I have a "definite maybe" from two guys that don't frequent the boards.

jbsteven,

Absolutely...just sell me one of those killer MS67 Morgans you have for 5% back of blue and you're in!

RELLA

RELLA · April 19, 2003 12:10PM

Bringing this back up to the top to see if anyone missed it the first time around...I was thinking of posting on the US board also but who knows what kinda undesirables we might get then.

I also bought a 1945 Lincoln in PCGS MS66RD at the mid-cities show just to make sure I meet my own requirement for getting in...

RELLA

Spooly · April 20, 2003 12:13AM

Count me in!

jbsteven · April 20, 2003 12:16AM

rella:

5% back of BLUE! man that is steep! I will give you an answer 10 minutes AFTER the dinner

TheNumish · April 20, 2003 9:14AM

You guys ever been to Angelo's? Great BBQ and plenty of room. They also don't care if you hang around.

TheNumish · April 20, 2003 9:15AM

I just hope we don't have to wear nametags.

jbsteven · April 20, 2003 9:16AM

I remember going to a Angelo's in Ft. Worth when I was a kid, they used to have sawdust on the floor. I will never forget that place.

redcents · April 22, 2003 12:34AM

Count me in. I have a cent or 2.

RICK15JK · April 22, 2003 3:09AM

Jay..

Dickies BBQ is a little better.... And a nice shinner to along with it...

Rick

RELLA · May 5, 2003 7:50AM

OK to all who are going...what kinda food would you prefer? My top two choices (in order):

Pappasitos: Tex-Mex
Pappadeux: Cajun

There are also a bajillion BBQ places nearby if no one likes my suggestions.

Once I get some feedback I'll make sure we are welcome (I won't mention that we're all coin guys when I make the reservations). Time is after the show Friday (7:00PM).

Who's coming so far: dpoole, keithdagen, blade, LincolnCentMan, jbsteven, Spooly, TheNumish (implied acceptance), redcents, src57, jy8s (possible), Mike Sadler, Andy Skrabalak and myself. I might have left someone off the list also...too busy lately.

I'm sure we'll get a few more before we're done here, too (or is 13 a lucky number?).

RELLA

keithdagen · May 5, 2003 8:27AM

I personally would reverse them, but both of those choices are excellent.

And I must say that you would be hard pressed to assemble a more motley bunch of characters.

src53 · May 5, 2003 11:21PM

If dpoole will be there, so will I! (Unless he locks me in the car)

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!

Scott

dpoole · May 6, 2003 3:33AM

I had actually planned to lock src53 in the car. But now since everybody knows about it...

Spooly · May 6, 2003 6:13AM

Dpoole said he was going to buy everyone the first round of table dances! Go dpoole!

SportsModerator2 · May 6, 2003 6:15AM

Should we allow dpoole to plan the next set reg. function at the ANA?

Sounds more fun than anything BJ or I would think of!

jbsteven · May 6, 2003 6:21AM

did someone say table dances?

dpoole · May 6, 2003 6:23AM

Hmmm...lap dances at the Registry Reception...hmmm...

Sounds fine. But what if Cameron wins the raffle again??

SportsModerator2 · May 6, 2003 6:24AM

I think we need to state the rules before (or just exclude him

)

BNE · May 6, 2003 7:06AM

carolj just did a ghost post!

I saw it! Really I did!

SportsModerator2 · May 6, 2003 7:22AM

Hey, I've got that "snap of the fingers" power

BNE · May 6, 2003 7:22AM

I thought you wriggled your nose like Elizabeth Montgomery. . . ?

SportsModerator2 · May 6, 2003 7:26AM

I practiced for years but it never worked!

kieferscoins · May 6, 2003 8:18AM

I would have a good chance of winning the prize again since I always seem to win.

Lap dances for the prize? Don't exclude me Carol! I can offer up my prize to dpoole this time since Good Guys wouldn't usually accept that kind of prize.

Cameron Kiefer

SportsModerator2 · May 6, 2003 9:18AM

Cameron:

To win the lap dance you will need to attend the Texas show. The best we have to offer is a little something to eat and a drink.
You should go and win the prize. All your Texas buddies would love the opportunity to corrupt you a little.

Spooly · May 6, 2003 10:14AM

Hmmm...lap dances at the Registry Reception...hmmm...

Lap dances by Carol and BJ.......... OH YES!

LincolnCentMan · May 6, 2003 10:22AM

Bad news, I wont be able to make it on Friday. I have some personal biz to attend to. I'll be at the show on Saturday. I can hardly wait to take a look at Andy's inventory again. Drool!!!

David

dpoole · May 6, 2003 10:41AM

Lincolncentman!!! You're missing the lap dance??? Even Andy's going to be there for that!

LincolnCentMan · May 6, 2003 11:36AM

I'm a happily married man... and want to stay that way

.

David

dpoole · May 6, 2003 11:40AM

Yeah, but think how much HAPPIER you'll be!

LincolnCentMan · May 6, 2003 11:53AM

Yah, but if she devorced me... she might take our net worth... a roll of quarters I'm hideing under the bed.

David

kieferscoins · May 6, 2003 1:37PM

Bad news: I can't make the Texas show.

Good News: I won't be corrupted by my Texas friends and I will keep my Good Guy status.

Cameron Kiefer

dpoole · May 6, 2003 10:15PM

That's OK, Cameron. The party was just for Bad Guys, anyway.

SportsModerator2 · May 7, 2003 1:16AM

Hey now. If the Andy is my Andy from Angel Dee's no corrupting him!
You can say hi for me and tell him I'll see him in Long Beach.

Spooly, it's good to have dreams.

Spooly · May 7, 2003 2:37AM

Spooly, it's good to have dreams.

Yes, sweet dreams!

SportsModerator2 · May 7, 2003 5:52AM

I'll make sure to warn BJ to be on the look out for you

RELLA · May 8, 2003 1:01AM

This is a dinner not a weekend in Vegas! Andy will not be participating in any of that crazy and wild stuff...no way am I spending all day Saturday working a table with him if he's all tired and grumpy. Plus he says he only accepts dances from the fine ladies of PCGS.

I will also not be involved in any after dinner activities; I am a happily married man and plan on keeping things that way. If you've ever met my wife you would understand (of course I wouldn't let most of y'all get near her

).

We'll be going to Pappasitos, 2704 West Freeway. 7PM (show closes at 7 and its maybe 2 miles away). Directions from Dallas: I30 West, exit Forest Park, continue on service road. Directions from the show: South on University, East on I30, exit Forest Park, turn left/loop under freeway and go west on service road. Their number if you need help finding it 817-877-5546. It's TCU graduation weekend so everything down there is going to be packed...I was warned that even with preferred seating we may have to kill 15-30 minutes in the bar at first (hope no one has a problem with that

).
