Singapore · June 16, 2003 11:03AM

Singapore will be in attendance.

You will be able to identify me by my extensive library of old auction catalogs, which I will not have with me.

Coinosaurus · June 16, 2003 11:15AM

Coinosaurus will be there, also without his extensive catalog collection

mbbiker · June 16, 2003 11:17AM

I think PCGS is going to be at this show, will they be hosting another lunch?

darktone · June 16, 2003 11:18AM

I might go Saturday if I am not too busy at work and I win a lot or two in the B&M auction. mike

CoinAddict · June 16, 2003 12:15PM

Since I am staying with my aunt and uncle that live in Illinois I will probably be going either Friday or Saturday. It took a little convincing but I think I will be going. I have never been to a coin show. What day would you recommend out of the two?Your help is truly appreciated.

mbbiker · June 16, 2003 12:18PM

I would recommend you go friday because thats the day i'm going to be there. J/K I think Friday is the best day to go because most of the best coins are found on Friday.

CoinAddict · June 16, 2003 12:29PM

Thanks for your help mbbiker. I have decided to go on Friday. I look forward to meeting a few of my fellow forum members.

mbbiker · June 16, 2003 2:14PM

Hello everyone!

We have table #118 at the Mid America show. Can't wait! This is one of our favorite annual shows.

We will have table #908 at the ANA in Baltimore. Stop by and chat for awhile!

IrishMike · June 18, 2003 2:34AM

My wife and I have made tentative plans to be there Friday and perhaps Saturday. I am looking forward to seeing everyone and maybe selling some coins to some of the dealers here or doing a little horse trading.

jbsteven · June 18, 2003 3:02AM

irish:

bring your horses to my table

baccaruda · June 18, 2003 3:07AM

let's all try and meet up for lunch or something.

mbbiker · June 18, 2003 7:24AM

when and where?

baccaruda · June 18, 2003 7:29AM

don't know - never been to a show.

i'm assuming they have a ridiculously high-priced food vendor there. maybe we can meet there at say, 12:30 or 1, then go somewhere reasonable.

mbbiker · June 18, 2003 7:43AM

sounds like a plan, anyone else interested in doing lunch?

FinallyHere · June 18, 2003 7:51AM

Larry and I will be there...our home town. I have a corner table and I believe it's #319. As Julian said, it is a smaller show, but up and coming for sure and I think everyone can enjoy themselves.

Here's a tip. The food is really terrible at the show with one vendor selling cold pizza and overpriced hot dogs. There are some nice places fairly close, but you'll want to have a car or pile in with someone who has a car. If you are planning on staying for the day and having dinner, there is a wonderful steak place just across the street...sorry can't remember the name now. If you have transportation, you'll have no trouble finding some great places to eat.

Hope to see some or all of you so please stop by and say hello.

anyone else intersted in meeting up for lunch?

Trooper · June 19, 2003 1:17PM

Only if it's at Heavenly Bodies.
They serve a great burger there. Great view too!!!

Should be able to make it, but it depends on the work schedule.

If I do make I'll be holding a bag of Franklins that you guys can grade for me(I'm still clueless on those things).

Tom

Suggestion for lunch might be to order "Geno's East or Giordono's Pizza"(Chicago Stuffed or Deep Dish) for delivery and eat at the bar. (If they allow that). Or just driving over to those places(about a 5 minute drive for each).

baccaruda · June 19, 2003 11:35PM

Heavenly Bodies eh? I'm not sure my girlfriend is gonna go for that. There's not much I can do, but...

leave her at home.

anyway I'll (and probably JTrusty) be at the food vendor at 12:30 Friday in case you wanna meet up MB (or anyone else). I'll probably be the tallest one there so you shouldn't have much trouble seeing me.

mbbiker · June 24, 2003 12:10PM

TTT - show starts in 2 days

MadMarty · June 24, 2003 12:12PM

I know our forum goddess is in Chicago also, she is at the PSA booth at the card show next door!

I am afraid to say it but I am not going to be going to the show after all. I was really looking forward to going but we have other things that are more important to do. Two weeks ago my grandfather broke his hip and has been in the hospital. I am staying with my Aunt and Uncle in Savoy, Illinois. We have been driving back and forth between Savoy and Tell City, Indiana on the Weekends. Since my grandfather broke his hip my grandparents will be moving in with us. We are trying to get most of their furniture moved to our house before he gets out of the hospital. If it were not from all of the driving back and forth that we have been doing lately I would be with you all browsing the bourse floor. I dearly wanted to go to the show and meet some of my fellow forum members. I would have loved to have done some major shopping. When you all get back from the show will you describe what it was like.

mbbiker · June 24, 2003 12:34PM

CoinAddict sorry to hear about your grandfather. I'll make sure i let you know how the show was. Don't worry about missing it, there will be other shows so just enjoy being with the family for a while.

Coppernicus · June 24, 2003 5:44PM

ttt

and where is Rosemont in relation to Chicago? North, west...? (Too lazy right now to dig out the map) I'd like to go on Saturday and meet up with some of you.

MadMarty · June 24, 2003 9:44PM

Rosemont is right by O'Hare Airport, I-190 and River Road.

Who is going to the Rosemont show this weekend? (LUNCH???)
