Are you Attending the ANA's World's Fair of Money Show next week?

I've been really, really looking forward to attending this show for the past 2 years, but being a high risk individual and now with the recent delta variant spike I'm not convinced it's worth the risk to attend an indoor event like this with so many people from all over the world gathering in one huge room. Will the ANA be renting self contained space suits at the door?? 
Your hobby is supposed to be your therapy, not the reason you need it.

I am not going, not due to any health concerns but rather I have never felt it was worth the expense to travel that far for a show.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Per the supplying sub-contractor, those are actually free. But oxygen refills are exorbitant
Yes I am! Only going because I live in the Chicago area. It'll be my third time attending the ANA show, but it'll be my first time attending on a week day because my dad agreed to take a day off of work so we can go together on Wednesday.
Very excited.

No, but nominally planning to attend Long Beach in September.
Oh yeah - getting on the plane early Tuesday morning for the flight up to Chicago - can't wait. First real show since this drama started.

I'll be there. Looking forward to my first show since FUN 2020.

I plan on being there. It will be my 51st consecutive ANA show.
I plan on attending. Even though I'm fully vaccinated, COVID-Delta might
change my plans.
Yes, I'll be there.
Gonna get me a $50 Octagonal someday. Some. Day.
Oh yeah
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
I'd go if it were closer.
I feel perfectly comfortable from a health point of view.
I find everything I want online, so it's not really worth it to me.
If I ever went to an ANA convention, having dinner and drinks with board members would be the highlight, more so than the coins.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

No to ANA, but will be in Las Vegas this week.
Yes, going. Bringing YN's. Opportunity to grow the next generation into loving numismatics! Also bringing another friend and this will be his first show.
Van trip!
Also, Barber Coin Collectors Society (BCCS) http://barbercoins.org is having their annual meeting at 9am on August 11th. Usually well-attended.
A Barber Quartet is made up of Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, and Halves.
I plan to attend on Wednesday to touch base with the dealers I have been buying from for the past few years. One good thing, they all appear to be in the same area, so it will be easy to find them.

I will be there. I have been looking forward to it for the last 6 months now. It’s a week away, the countdown has begun!!! If anyone wants to meat up and chit chat, trade, or sell me something please let me know!

I’ll be there Tuesday
Latin American Collection
Flying out on Tuesday. I'm looking forward to seeing people that I have not seen since Baltimore, 2019. The SS Central America bell and the 1933 Double Eagle are attractions also!
Really want to go, but just had a week off for a family matter and have to work. I do like that a lot of the events will now be streamed.
Yes! and Yes!
My hometown event couldn't keep me away. Lol. As a matter of fact, my neighbor asked if I can take him. His friend can't make it that normally drives. So he asked me. My neighbor can't drive.
So, we're going Friday but in order for me to do my normal wandering around and picking the tables to Cherry something, I myself, will be attending alone on Wednesday. This way, I can do my thing one day, then enjoy the company with my friend on Friday. Can't wait! Only 40 minutes away. Maybe See ya guys there?

@ANACSPAUL , John Roberts, JP Martin, and I will we working the ANACS booth. Stop by and say hello!
I know this is tremendously exciting news to many of you, but I will be in attendance. No pictures, no autographs, but a friendly chat and some show and tell is okay. 15 minute maximum, queue starts adjacent to the Tyrant display.

This is great!! With so many forumites going, we should see many show reports, and even some great pictures. Cheers, RickO
I plan on driving down for the show on Wednesday. Hoping to meet some dealers I have bought from during the pandemic.
Yes, I'm putting last touches on my exhibit.

See Dennis King and me at table 1111-
I fly out on Tuesday and am staying until Friday night. It will be my first show since the last Worlds Fair of Money two years ago. I am really excited!

not in the cards... hope all attendees enjoy the show- safe travels
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Yes, everyone is invited to the JRCS meeting Wednesday morning.
Safe travels everyone.
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.
Show opens Tuesday one hour before the 2021 Peace $’s go on sale at the mint.
One day I will try to make this show. But see you at Long Beach in September, if you go there.

Time well spent.
Absolutely! Can't Wait! Be sure to stop by my table (No. 312), take a gander at lots of Pretty Pennies, and if you like let me take your photo for my show report which should be HUGE!

@HashTag Since you will be enjoying a Kids Meal with your grandson, save yourself
the public embarrassment and just let him have the toy that comes with your meal.
I was all set to go and even pre-ordered my ANA badge to get it, but I am going to watch from afar with Delta going crazy.
Best, SH
I won't make it but I hope everyone has a great show! I hope to read some great reports!
Nope, I'll wait for next year.
Where will it be?

Same place.
I'll see you then

PS - agree with those that are asking for show reports - please post them with pics when possible.
I’m planning on attending Friday if it works out for me. Only about. 40 mins away for me. Looking forward to viewing some of the coins/ collections up for display. Im hoping to find a nice 21 Peace dollar if it can be found. Just going to be nice to get out to a show.
All my bags are packed and I'm ready to go..........
Was giving it serious consideration, but will not be attending due to Delta.
TBD
Stopped for a night's rest and conclude a business deal Monday morning. Checking in after 3. I will try to post a few reports.
All my bags are packed and I'm ready to go..........
Ditto - Alarm is set for 4:30 tomorrow morning to get up for the first flight to Chicago. Doubtful I'll sleep much tonight anyway in anticipation.
