Ok dealers, time to fess up on your Long Beach schedule

tmot99tmot99 Posts: 5,238 ✭✭✭
Ok, I'm looking to go to Long Beach for a day. Problem is, I live in Chicago. I'm not likely to get a day off on Friday and therefore was going to fly in on Saturday morning. What's the floor going to look like on the last day of the show? I'm mainly looking for exonumia, SCDs, medals, WCE elongates, etc. I will use miles for the flight so that won't cost me anything, but I don't want to waste them if the floor is dead.

Book or not to book. That's the question.

    The only way you can waste miles is not to use them

    IMO, it wouldn't be worth going for 2 reasons:

    1) LB is not a strong show for esoterics - there are a few people who deal in such material there, but far less than you'd find in Baltimore or at the ANA.

    2) Dealers generally pack up early from LB and head out. Some skip Saturday altogether, many more leave at noon. Part of the reason is the flight schedules heading east, another is the careful eye many people keep on their total days in CA annually so as not to end up getting hosed by CA state tax.

    I concur.

    There are three Long Beach shows a year. If you can't make one, another comes by soon enough. It's worth waiting until you can get a Friday off.

    Despite the Long Beach show contracts that require dealers to stay until the end of Saturday, the majority of dealers will begin to pack up by about noon Saturday. Save your miles and use them the next time you can make Long Beach on Thursday or Friday.
