My 10 year Yn and I are at the Long Beach show today, and the Mrs. calls me on the cell phone. I answer, and tell her that Julian needs to speak to her. It goes something like this....
Hello! How is your foot doing (she had surgery 6 weeks ago, and just out of the cast)? Well, take care of that, and get better! Oh, your husband has just spent $40,000 here, but he has exquisite taste, and has picked lovely coins! Oh, I've set up your son with a $10,000 credit line, that's ok, isn't it? He is picking some really great coins, you will not be disappointed! Well, I have to go, it's a busy show. Bye bye!
When I asked Julian what she said, he said she said "something or other" about new Thomasville furniture.........................

When I saw him at Milwaukee, he wanted me to tell all you brothers what a fine specimen of a man he is. So there Julian, now I've told everyone.

Hold on here.....I think I am your long lost son....(a little older than 10 though, but for a 10k credit line through you, I'll act young
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Claychaser, You have one heck of a supporting spouse as Furniture is getting off cheap!
If Julian would have mentioned $40K to most wives... he'd best be handing out Kevlar vests with each show purchase.
I bet Julian is also very supportive to your 10 year old YN son?
As decades ago when I was a YN in my late teens and doing the shows solo with a minuscule budget, Julian was one of the only dealers who didn't treat me with the level of respect of Rodney Dangerfield. As many dealers wouldn't give me the time of day, till I was in early twenties working 7 days a week, and able to pull a roll of Benjamin's out of my pocket.
All in all Julian is a Gem, always greeted me with a big smile as I approached him at each show and left me feeling warm-n-fuzzy when I left his table even as a kid!

I did mention 40K and 10K, but I am almost certain that the Mrs. knew that there may have been
some literary license. She is a judge and has heard all sorts of stories.
Her exact response was to tell John that payback could be ........
Young CC is an enthusiastic YN and will become even better as he gains more experience. He is an excellent grader, probably better than many here on the boards.
The two of them very much enjoy coming to the shows together.
FYI, school was in session on Friday, but somehow young CC came down with a case of gold fever and could not attend classes that day. Daddy is certainly setting a fine example for how YN's should be treated.
BTW, many thanx for the kind comments.
I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

So what were the coins you bought!?
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

<< <i>and my YN did buy a very nice 1799 bust dollar that cleaned out his bank account from Jim McGuigan. Sorry, no pics! >>
Any YN buying choice early type from Jim McGuigan is doing A-OK.
<< <i>Hey John or Dave - not sure who that is posting for CU....I offered you MY TABLE...isn't that better than a cookie!!!!!!!!!!! >>
That's true - you did offer us the table - but only after the cookies had been completely obliterated.
JA
Well, you're going to have to see Julian about that....anything to say about that Julian? Huh?
