I have not been to this show before, who is going to the show and who has been before? Any thoughts on it?

I have gone to this show many times.

It is usually a well run show. The sponsoring club does a good job.

The current location (Concord Hilton) is freeway convenient, has plenty of parking and is very comfortable.

The show has good turnout for dealers and the foot traffic is usually pretty good. It approaches the Fremont show in size.

I am going this Sunday and I am meeting Skyman there.

Todd, are you planning on going to this show and offering your photography services? If so, I will make a point to say hello and have you photograph a few of my coins.

I did well at this show in 2008. I sold a bunch of stuff to McIntosh and bought the
bust dollar for my type set from Alistair Skinner. Schedule conflicts this year permit
me to be there only late in the day either or both days. I don't know whether to
expect my favorite dealers to have packed up early.

I'd also expect to see Don Rinkor and Joe Wargo. Don't remember who else I saw
there two years ago. It was not a huge show. Not quite as big as the Fremont show
but bigger than the Alameda show, as I recall.

Never been but it is relatively close to me. Maybe.

WTCG

Just a reminder to everybody who'll be in the general area this weekend that Fleet Week will be taking place concurrently in San Francisco that same weekend. Besides for the US and Canadian Navy ships, there will be an air show featuring the Blue Angels, Team Oracle, United Airlines, and various other naval air aircraft. Go support your Navy.

As for the coin show, it isn't any surprise that I will not be there once again. Local folks who know me know why. Until the current show management regime is changed or they issue me a written apology (whatever comes first, I don't care), I will not participate in this show and will continue to dissuade my customers and other dealers from doing so. There are plenty of coin shows in Northern California to attend throughout the year.

This has been a very good show, well attended and active.

I know WTCG had an issue in the past and i respect his feelings, causing him to not attend.

My experince had been positive at the show and I will be in attendance at table 1. Stop by and say hi.
