    Been to every FUN show since 1973,
    and I'm an old-timer, so yep - I'll be
    there.

    I'll have some nice new errors too -
    stop by my table # 728 and say Hi.

    I’m going. I’ve been around here for several years, just don’t post much.
    I’d love to meet some obsessed Collectors like me. I’m there Wednesday for Early Bird and Thursday.

    Anyone want to meet for coffee or a soft drink on the bourse?

    Since 1973 I have only missed 1978, 2011 and 2016. I hope to be there this time.

    I've been to 'em all since 2000, but will miss this year. Sorry to miss you, Saintg!


    Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

    Can't you categorize roughly 95% of the entire crowd as being 'old-timers'?

    "Gold is money, and nothing else" (JP Morgan, 1912)

    "“Those who sacrifice liberty for security/safety deserve neither.“(Benjamin Franklin)

    "I only golf on days that end in 'Y'" (DE59)
