    I would be concerned that "sports" comes before "coins" in the title. Otherwise, I would expect Russ there cherrypicking the heck out of the poor coin dealers. Maybe I will send him some baseball cards to sell to me.

    If something like that were in my area, I'd go no matter what. We're kind of starved for coin events.

    I went to the one they held there last fall it was about 60% cards and 40% coins. Was curious as to if the spring show is about the same.

    You mean the Tacoma Dome show? It's about 30 coin tables, costs $6.75 to get in and another $5 for parking and I've rarely found anything worth a crap. The fries at the snack bar are nice and greasy, though.

    I went to that Tacoma show once last year. After 30 minutes I was able to see all the coins of interest to me. Actually, there were none of interest, total waste of my time.image

    Russ is just trying to scare off the competition. image He's no dummy.

    It's worth going to, if you can make it to Tacoma and back alive. More card dealers than coin dealers though...

    Not really. The problem I have is that there's one particular dealer who hunts exactly the same thing I do. Of course, he's already worked the floor before it opens to the public, so it's slim pickens for me. I still go, though, to get the greasy fries. image
