SANTA CLARA SHOW - is it worth it?

Can anyone tell me.....

What would be the benefits of me attending the show? And would it really be worth it?
My status as a collector goes back to 1999 but I've recently gotten more serious about
dealing and I have found that my business as a dealer is going quite well.

What would be the greatest benefits besides finding great coins? Connecting with dealers?
Bargains? Some of the threads in here about show folllow-ups are not too encouraging
and the thread on the last show in Santa Clara made it sound like it was really nothing to
bother with. So any information you can provide would be of great benefit as it would be
a 10 hour drive for me to attend. Thanks in advance.

Also, any input on Superior's Battle Creek Morgan Dolllar hoard? Predictions?

If I make the show, I will certainly stop by those of you who have tables/booths.

    You'll never really know if it's worth it for you to go unless you go once.
  • free parking, very easy access off the freeway, no fighting downtown traffic, a LOT of dealers, US and darkside--- that's why I like it

    CC2GO,

    Is this show worth attending? Absolutely. You'll get the opportunity to meet many dealers who you have only heard about, and you'll get a chance to see truly special coins that do not make their way to the smaller shows. Since Palm Beach was cancelled two weeks ago, dealers need to buy coins to fufill their orders, and Santa Clara is the perfect place for that.

    If the drive sounds tedious than you can consider flying into San Jose Mineta Intl., which is about 3 miles south of the convention center and is accessible by light rail.
