A show I never miss. Since my teens.



Tampa for 2 of the next 3 years. Great by me.



If the market is weak I hope I can buy the Gardner 4 coins I was outbid on.





Edit for thanks to Golden

    What a shame international split off to NYC. If they had stayed together at one show then perhaps it would have stayed in Orlando as the size would have been larger

    #1 show of the year. I'll be there for the duration. Only sad note is that the International show in New York is always scheduled to conflict with it. That is just dumb on their part. image

    Looking forward to it as well. Staying across the street from the show. Many fellow Barberites are planning to get together on Wednesday evening after a day of lot viewing. Will be on the Bourse Floor all day Thursday & half of Friday. Any more than a day and a half, I get coined out.





    I don't think I'll stay for the BCCS meeting. Wish it were during the morning

    and not at 3:00 in the afternoon.
