Contrary to popular opinion PCGS does not run the LB show. It is run by a sister division - Expos Unlimited.
But, I have to say this was the best LB show I can ever remember! The table layout was reorganized and 50 more tables were added. Large signs that obstructed your view were prohibited. And the floor was crowded with people from Wednesday through Saturday. The convention room is very large and it was packed. It made quite a visual impact.
Expos did a great job of promoting the show and made a few exciting additions. All the tables were sold out and now the dealers who moved to the back are pleading to get a table back up front. Several new sports dealers set up offering all kinds of memorabilia, photos, cards and more. Today's highlight was having Jerry West, Magic Johnson and the Laker Girls signing autographs. It was a mad house.
The line to get in extended almost out of the building each morning. The only complaint I heard was that it took some people 30 minutes to get through the line. Based on my discussions with several dealers everyone had a very good show.
Submissions to PCGS were super strong but we managed to get through them all. It was a great show for us.
If you haven't been to Long Beach lately you won't believe the changes!
