Long Beach is one of the largest coin shows in the U.S. In terms of show size it is about twice the size of Santa Clara.
The next Long Beach show is from September 27 - 30. Here is the link to the website for the Long Beach Expo.
I will be there from Wednesday September 26 until Saturday afternoon.

I am planning on heading to Cali. after work on Friday, going to the show Saturday and Uni Studios Sunday. My wife is excited because this will be her first trip to LaLa land.
She gets excited about going anywhere, she is home sick for her family, but loves it here in the U.S.
Long Beach is a fun show, and fortunately not far from me. Plenty there to keep any collector busy, whether buying, browsing or meeting fellow collectors. I need to get out to the Baltimore show too though as I have heard it is the best run one. Anyway, I am always at the LB show at least on Friday.
September 27-29, 2007, over 2,000 dealers will attend the Long Beach Coin, Stamp & Collectibles Expo, a show spanning 100,000 square feet in the beautiful Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center. The Expo provides a venue for dealers, mints, collectors, and numismatic and philatelic organizations to gather, conduct business, market new products, and present educational exhibits. Many prominent authorities in their collectibles fields offer lectures at educational forums and club meetings. In conjunction with every Long Beach Expo, one can expect to find multi-million dollar auctions by Heritage Numismatic Auctions, seminars by eBay Seller Programs Consultant, Troy Thoreson, and the United States Postal Service.
