I'm driving up to the PNNA in Tukwila on Friday. I've been anxiously looking forward to it for months now. I'd love to meet some of you fellow forum members up there. I'll be there from Noon to around 4:00 or so. Looking forward to possibly meeting some of you.

Yep...likely arriving sometime around noonish.
I think another local forum member or two are planning to as well (Friday around noon).
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
Have fun !!!
That is a great show. I used to go each year when I lived there. Please post a show report. Cheers, RickO
I'll look for ya!

Shoot - the only thing that will be left by the time I get there this weekend will be the overpriced material.....
I will be there on Saturday, looking forward to meeting some of you. Several forum members will be presenting on Saturday. A great way to spend St. Patrick's day!

I look forward to hopefully seeing some of you there. I'll be wearing a bright blue polo shirt and jeans, carrying a small Crown Royal Bag if you want to say hi.
I look forward to giving a show report later this evening.
I usually try to hide, but my CRO hat usually gives me away.....

Nice little show again.
I didn't see anyone with a blue polo shirt and jeans AND a crown royal bag. I have some proof IHCs I want to get photo'ed, in the holders, so it would have been nice to meet you.
I did see Swampboy and SeattleSlammed and chatted with them. Saw Wei, Charmy, and Glenn (PonyExpress). Also saw Segoja.
I was on a tight timeline today though, so couldn't spend that long and a few were talking to other people so I had to skip on by.
Some nice coins there. Most of the dealers said they were doing pretty well....keeping busy.

Sounds like a good show and some very good presentations.
Honestly, this was probably the best local show (including prior versions of itself) that I have seen in the last 2-3 years.
It's always a "must go to" show, just like the Boeing Show is, but this year, so many dealers I didn't know, and just the overall amount of coins to look at, made it the best one in a long time.
I'll probably be too busy to get back to it this weekend, which is why I rushed to go today, but if I get the chance, I will go back.
Also cool that a local dealer is hosting a small get together at his shop tomorrow evening...for coin customers and likely other dealers at the show. He handed me an invite when I saw him today and called me out by name (haven't seen Steve in over a year, so that was cool that he remembered me and invited me).
Just really good vibes at this year's show.

Steve is a funny man. One of the most fun I had was going through a couple boxes of newps he hadn't even looked at and tossing a couple at him to price.

Sorry I didn't see any of you. I arrived just before 1:00 and browsed around until 5:30. It was a fantastic show and I picked up a few nice coins (for me anyway).
I do wish I could have met you @Bochiman it would have been great! I didn't get home until almost 9:00 pm because of the traffic trying to get back down south. Hit me up in a PM and we can discuss those proof IHC's.
I'll post a rundown on my show experience tomorrow along with some images of my pick-ups.
I drove down from Bellingham and got through Seattle traffic after 1 PM, and enjoyed visiting with a few people this afternoon. I will be pretty busy at the Numismatic Theater Saturday midday, but will wear my coin vest on the bourse so you can recognize me and introduce yourself if you like.
