Long Beach show

hof1998

I have never been to the Long Beach show. I just attended FUN for the first time and it was huge! How big is the Long Beach show, relative to FUN? Also, are most of the same dealers at all these shows (FUN, Baltimore, Long Beach, etc) or does the Long Beach show attract a good crop of West Coast dealers? I'm trying to figure out if it is worth the long trip out there. Thanks!

FUN attracts dealers from everywhere and especially from the Southeast. Long Beach also has dealers from everywhere in the country but has a much higher concentration of West Coast and Southwestern dealers. Long Beach is the largest show in the West. It isn't as big as FUN (FUN is normally the largest coin show in the U.S. by table count) but it is very big.

LB is about 1/3 the show with over 300 dealers. All the shows attract many of the same folks but regional West coast dealers will be there.
