    It did not. It was the best show I had ever been to and I was not a dealer there.

    I will not say it sucked, but as a specialized collector, it was not the be-all and end-all it was cracked up to be. I am not sure what it would have to be for me to consider it HOT. I enjoyed meeting friends, old and new, and looking at Heritage auction lots of some blockbuster coins (70-CC and 54-O $20's, for example). I enjoyed looking at some of my friends cool coins. Strolling the bourse, to me, was quite dull. The dealers who I regularly patronize had the merchandise that I like and the rest did not.

    Did it suck? No. Was it coin heaven? No.

    It only sucked if you went there thinking that you could buy what you wanted at Gray Sheet "bid" and would not budge from those prices. If you did that, you either went home empty handed or bought some overgraded junk. image
