Good for you. I’ll be at Long Beach in the fall.
Me, too - booked my flight, my hotel room, made arrangements for the Club Table that I'll be helping out at, and am just finishing up my Exhibit Application. Nice to finally get back to at least semi-normal.

All reservations made.
Glad to see so many planning to attend. Show reports please... and bullion sales should be interesting if the current dip continues. Cheers, RickO
Long Beach tickets are booked!

I'll be there with another display, with some things that haven't been seen for a long time.
I am struggling with the idea of paying what? $230/night for a hotel room.

Well to all those who do attend we will be at table 911 Guess we are the emergency coin dealer this year
If I can, I will be there, but booking about 2 weeks in advance if I do.
I live around a half hour away from the convention center and my dad has agreed to take a day off of work so we can attend on Wednesday and possibly on Saturday.

Don't stay at the "official" convention hotel - I'm right across the street at the Crowne Plaza Hotel for $140/night.

Booked my hotel yesterday. This will be my 51st ANA convention. Can't wait.
Oh, thanks for the tip. Time to go check and see if I can get off work.

My hotel is about $88 including taxes. Drive a little and save a lot.
My hotel is $210 a night and very close because Chicago PD frowns on drunk driving. I tell them it is Numismatic Miracle Juice but they say it is Scotch.
hahaha
Indeed, some of my best coins were bought while juicing.
This thread is worthless without details. Airline? Airplane? Seat?

I have a ton of miles and credits from cancelled flights over the past year so I booked a First Class Ticket on American - Seat 1A on all flights!! Then, free shuttle service to my hotel right across the street from the Convention Center.

I will be there. Just a four hour drive. Well worth it!
I can only do the Tuesday do fly in and out that day from vacation with my family in northern Michigan.

Looks like I am going, Tuesday to Thursday.

Bulkhead and almost no view of the wing? Yuck. Gotta at least sit in 2A. Or maybe the exit row with the wing 🥰
We'll be there at table 1323!

I don't mind the bulkhead and it guarantees nobody in front of me sticks the back of their seat in my face. Besides, I really like being the first one off the plane.

I noticed some of the hotels near the convention center that had rooms last month are now sold out for the ANA dates.
I will be attending. Not sure which day yet.

There is also a stamp show in the same convention center the same week. My cousin is big into stamps. I called her yesterday and she will be coming to the stamp show. We agreed to meet and have dinner one night. She lives 2000 miles from me . It will be a rare opportunity for us to get together. How cool is that!
Yeah, but no seat in front of you to put your feet under.
I was in Anchorage last summer and got upgraded to 2A on the flight home. One guy really wanted to be first off, so right before we got on the runway to takeoff, he decided we arrived and grabbed his stuff and ran to the front of the plane. He was the first one off, but after we taxied back to the gate to kick him off. At least I got a great view of the action from my seat 😂
Likely still in AK. Can't go to my place in Canada. Jan FUN '22?

Got my room reservations tonite. Will be there most of the week.
I'll be there!
Gonna get me a $50 Octagonal someday. Some. Day.
I will attend but not sure which day. Need to check in with some dealers to see what works best.

The real mystery here is why Boosibri isn't driving.
On vacation in northern Michigan with the family which is a 6-7 hr drive vs the normal 2. I get one day to myself apparently which will be a quick trip to the ANA. Flying from Traverse City to Chicago and back in a day.
The Latin American pieces in the Cape Coral sale are a must see for me.

Better to see them in a more relaxed and less crowded environment in NYC lot viewing.
Have you viewed them yet?

The week before ANA is a big show in Las Vegas,
Shows, shows and more shows. Yeah!
Looking forward to going to some.

Kennedys are my quest...
Can go to Las Vegas and get warmed up for the ANA
If I counted correctly, there approximately 420 tables. I could have mis-counted.
I thought previous W.F. ANA shows were larger. Is the number of tables set in
stone or will they be able to add more to meet the demand. There are approximately
70 still unspoken for tables. I figured this being one of the largest shows since the
pandemic shut down tables would be in demand
I did read that they are limiting it to around 500 tables to adhere to public health guidelines and social distancing but more may be added if guidelines are changed by the time of the show.

Not yet.
I'll be there for for the duration, starting with "Dealer Day" on Monday. I'm sure the show will be fantastic. Not so sure what to expect for Dealer Day though. Does anyone here know how many tables they sold for Dealer Day?

The ANA just started assigning tables last week. The process is slow,it will continue this week.
Go look at the prices of those tables! Unless you are selling 100K+ they make ebay look like the sweetest deal on the planet! Don't forget all the other costs involved which moves the bar way higher.
Anybody else planning on going? This should be a good show.
Yes! Another show in my hometown State.
Only about 40 miles away. I'll be there looking for any "door raffles!"
Some of you may know why?
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!
--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.I keep looking at the assigned floor map and I don't see the US Mint there. Am I missing something? I would think they would take the big spot next to the Tyrant Collection.

In previous years, the ANA would have an area set a side for foreign mints along
with the U.S. mint. They would have "Passport Cards" for YN's and parents that
they could fill with a coin from each mint. I don't see that either.
