How was the show? Thought about blasting out there and spend a day but just didn't happen. Making plans for Winter FUN in January though...

Most if not all dealers had a great show
I can see one that had a pretty good show. Looks like nice original raw stuff.
An unusually high percentage of dealers stayed for the last day. This is a COLLECTOR’S show, as opposed to a dealer oriented show.

There was a lot of dealer-to-dealer sales that I saw!!
That is one show that I would like to attend.
It is a twice per year show. May and October.

Nice, looks like you like Keystone
I've been attending these shows for many years, spring and fall. I regrettably forgot that it was this past weekend, hoping to secure an 1894 Liberty nickel (one of three au+ I'm lacking). I would agree with VKurt, that of all the shows I've visited over the years (not only PAN) the sales are far greater by collectors. I am also amazed at it's growth over thirty some years. There's a reason PAN is the premier northeast coin show.
One major reason PAN runs a great collector show is that virtually ALL of the leadership of PAN are collectors with hardly ANY dealers in the management. The focus is western PA collectors, but it draws from all of Pennsylvania west of the greater Philly area. Lancaster, Reading, York and Harrisburg collectors are frequently in good attendance. Central Pennsylvania is among the hottest coin collecting areas in the entire U.S.

I liked the coins not the old inserts!
