  Expect to be the only collector in the room at times. Take full advantage of this as the dealers at these shows are a wealth of information. Come hungry. Stay for the auction if possible.

  Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

  I've been to a couple of these. It's a relaxed atmosphere and several of the dealers let me look through everything they brought. I ended up buying a couple of nice coins at the San Antonio show. Be prepared for the afternoon ice cream.

  I went to one in San Antonio last year.

  It's a more intimate setting than the big regional shows. It's mostly dealers, but it's a leisurely atmosphere and everyone has time to visit and chat. It's a great opportunity to make new friends, get in-depth wisdom and info about the biz and about coins in general. You have lots of time for unhurried perusals of many nice coins, and coin auction viewing.

  I wouldn't miss it if I were you, if it's not too hard to get to.

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