September Long Beach Expo is Cancelled, Hopes for Return in February 2021
It is with a heavy heart that we, in coordination with the Long Beach Convention Center, are announcing the cancellation of the September Long Beach Coin, Currency, Stamp and Sports Card Expo. We are still adhering to the guidelines set forth by Governor Gavin Newsom’s March 12th Executive Order to cancel all large gatherings due to the spread of COVID-19. This show was initially scheduled for September 17-19, 2020. Once again, it’s important to reiterate that there will be no business being conducted at the Long Beach Expo during the allotted show times in September.
If you are interested in participating in the September Long Beach Expo U.S. Coins, Currency, or World Paper Money Signature Auctions hosted by Heritage Auctions, they will be accepting online and phone bidding only. Links to the corresponding auction information and listings can be found here: U.S. Coins Auction , U.S. Currency Auction, World Paper Money Auction.
With the increased spread of coronavirus cases throughout Southern California, we need to stand by our policy of putting the health and safety of our attendees, our exhibitors, and our staff first. After seeing the collectibles industry as a whole band together and support one another over the past couple of months, we at the Long Beach Expo are honored to be a part of this wonderful hobby. We know that we’ll all get through this together.
For the Long Beach Expo, well, our focus immediately turns to February 4-6, 2021 in Hall C. We can all agree that 2020 has been a difficult year; however, we think 2021 will present great highs for all of us. After all, it’s the Long Beach Expo way to offer the best auctions, exhibits and dealers in the business. We hope to see you then.
Stay tuned to all future Long Beach announcements: LongBeachExpo.com.

We wish you all continued good health and safety.

Pretty much expected, especially with the recent spike in cases in SoCal.
May be a while before there’s another expo
Better to be safe than sorry.
Frustrating, but not surprising. I don't buy or sell much any more, but enjoy going to shows to see people that otherwise normally do not get to see. That, submitting a coin or two for a regrade, and getting close to spot for generic silver coins.

Heritage is still holding all of its Long Beach auctions - just in Dallas. Plenty of opportunities to spend money.

Wow... cancelling September activities already.... Not totally surprising I guess... I wonder if Halloween will be cancelled this year... Oh no... everyone will be wearing masks anyway...
Cheers, RickO
The last show I attended was Long Beach last Feb. It may be a year before I attend again and that's a big if.
Bummer. I hoped to attend this one.
I REALLY prefer buying in person, and LB is my usual 3-times a year addiction. Seeing in-hand takes away a lot of that second guessing, wondering about picture quality, etc.
But, knowing early that I can't get my fix in September, it might give me an excuse to buy something online that I've had my eye on....
