Did I miss the "Who's Going to Central States" thread? Who's going?

I searched back three weeks and couldn't find it.

Despite no grading service grading on-site, should still be a good show. And PCGS will be there accepting submissions for office grading, so you save on shipping.

April 25th-28th in Schaumburg.

    I've heard many dealers are revolting and skipping this CS due to the ever increasing fees. Wonder if that has something to do with it??

    Dealer fees? Do you mean the people that don't stick around long enough for the working class collectors to attend a major show on the weekend?
    The people that want our money and than give us the bird because they "have something better to do"?

    I did attend the show for two days around three years ago, Thursday and than again Saturday. Saturday was like an old wild west town, I did not see anything except tumbleweeds, but through the dust I did see Charmy and Eagle Eye.

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    Lack of show grading means no kvetching about show grades. Of course, that will be replaced with kvetching about no show grading, so I imagine there's a net kvetching wash this year.

  • specialistspecialist Posts: 956 ✭✭✭✭✭

    This show is now nothing more then a big regional show with a major auction. Attendance has dwindled.

    A strong statement is the fact NO grading services are on site.

    Several dealers are holding off and are going to the EAC show a week later. CSNS has clearly lost its mojo.

  • JustacommemanJustacommeman Posts: 22,852 ✭✭✭✭✭

    And EAC is in Traverse City this year. Wish it was in the summer.

    Did this show always charge $5 admission daily? If they do have to charge just make it good for all days. Just like the ANA shows daily admission fees.

    I thought about skipping it this year, but despite the lack of grading onsite, Central States is still a show that many collectors attend. For some, it's the only show of the year they attend.

    The venue is convenient once you get there. If you're staying at the hotel attached to the convention space, it's very easy.

    I was also surprised by the fee structure for tables (you only get one badge with the table, each additional badge is $75 or $125 or something, whereas other shows you get four I think with a table). But it's really just a way that a dealer is paying for what they need. Some shows we don't need four badges.

    Kalamazoo seems to be a geographical oddity. 2.5 hours away from Centrai States and EAC :)
