Baltimore Show

for the veteran attendees of all the major shows how does the baltimore show rank amongs the major national shows such as the FUN Shows, the recent one a few months ago in Chicago, and any other major shows?

Baltimore is a BIG show. Maybe not the best, or best location, but its a good show to go to.


(The food sucks big time btw, but down in Baltimore Harbour good food is easy to find.)

The biggies are FUN, Summer ANA, Fall & Spring Baltimore, and maybe the Spring ANA.
This is NOT the normal Baltimore show but the summer ANA show. This show will be larger than the normal Baltimore show by at least 50%.
The convention hall food does sucks but the Inner Harbor is just a short 5 to 10 minute walk away. There are places across the street also. The Wharf Rat is a show favorite.

If you're referring to the Summer ANA, which will be held in Baltimore at the end of July, then it's the Big Kahuna of coin shows. (Some people like FUN better, because they get to go to Florida in January, but everyone who's anyone in numismatics goes to the Summer ANA.)

On the other hand, if you're referring to the Whitman-sponsored shows, also held in Baltimore (in March, June and November - roughly), then they are certainly major shows, the Spring and Fall shows are perhaps third behind the Summer ANA and FUN.

My heart says I should have booked longer than 1 day for this show but my pocket book keeps patting me on the back saying "Good Boy!"

These shows have become more of a social event than a coin show for buying. There's no way I can do my looking around and talkng to people in just 1 day.

PARTY ON!!!
