Is the summer Whitman Baltimore worth going to?

Depends. Smaller show. Maybe sellers more willing to bargain?
It's smaller than the Spring and Fall shows in Baltimore, but I like it. Living nearby, I go to all three. It's good to catch up with coin friends I don't see otherwise. There are plenty of dealers, but many are gone by Saturday afternoon. Several years ago the shows were Thursday-Sunday, but so many dealers left early that Sundays got dropped. I fear that these shows will continue to get smaller and shorter.

I went to the Summer Baltimore-Whitman show last year and I'm planning on attending this year as well. I've taken a pretty big step back from active collecting (new job) but the Summer show gives me something to look forward to when I'm not otherwise involved with work... there are also fewer attendees which means lines for submissions were minimal. Most of the bigger dealers I look for are also there during the summer too... I'll definitely be there!

It's not as big as the spring or fall editions, but definitely still worth attending. But go on Thursday since a lot of dealers head out during the day Friday.
