A little early, but who here is planning on going to the Whitman Expo in Baltimore in March?

I just received word from my personal valet that the Whitman Expo in Baltimore is March 31st to April 3rd. Unfortunately, I have jury duty on March 31st, but assuming that I don't get picked, perhaps a quick jaunt down to Baltimore is in the offing on April 1st.

Who here is planning on attending? My colleagues in Beijing reported to me that several slow boats have pushed off yesterday from the port of Tianjin, with manifests filed for a Baltimore destination, no doubt with the latest Whitman titles in the cargo hold. image

    I always plan to go, it's the only big show in reasonable driving range, but I usually don't end up actually going. image

    Most definitely. Will have a corner table, not sure the number, as table numbers list hasn't been posted yet.

    Edited to add: Table #1504, a corner table near the auction lot viewing area.

    I should be there as always, might even bring my newborn boy. To bad HA.com times their auction to take some of the steam out of my buying power for the big show but yet I will not have the coins in hand. The coming auction looks to be one of the better ones in some time.

    I'll be setup adjacent to the Whitman booth signing copies of "Secret History of the First U.S. Mint." My co-author will also be in attendance, a rare opportunity to get copies signed by both authors at once.

    Also on display will be a variety of artwork, ephemera, and tokens and medals related to the book.

    Todd and I will again be setting up together, Todd doing on-site photography, and me, well, doing what I do best - selling pretty copper and hopefully doing another photographic show report. I very much look forward to seeing all the usual "suspects" and meeting new forumites as well!

    For those attending from out-of-town, make your reservations early. The show is sandwiched between a couple of decent sized conventions and rooms and flights for the show date are priced higher than the normally high prices.

    Your footnotes have footnotes!

    I won't be in Baltimore this time around, either. But I encourage everyone who goes to stop by the Whitman Publishing booth and get RWB's Guide Book of Peace Dollars, and also visit the numismatic book dealers for his groundbreaking Renaissance of American Coinage books.

    This is what's called "gratuitous footnoting" in academic circles.

    It's a fine line. Some writers assume the reader has a lot of knowledge already and doesn't need footnotes.

    On the other hand, if you've located original sources, you want to record that for the next researcher looking at the same subject.

    After Weds. night auction session I'll be walking the floor making ridiculous counter-offers to my friends. She Who Shall Not Be Named will be getting a massage or two.

    How about a thread on the price and quality of food at the various coin show convention centers. At this particular venue the Caesar salad with chicken (quite edible) is not a bad value and is much lower in warmed-over butterfat than the pizza.

    Even though commodity values have been on the rise, bottled water is still only 3 bucks.
