Anyone going to the Santa Clara show next week?

BECOKA · April 12, 2007 10:44AM

Just curious.

I will be sharing a table with Griffin Coins if anyone wants to meet. I would love to see some of the faces behind these masks.

Table 436

I also plan on posting a list of people that keep their word on visiting and posting back to this thread who showed

topstuf · April 12, 2007 10:51AM

AYE! Aye think aye will.

Be careful what you ask for.

I'll be there.

Zoins · April 12, 2007 1:45PM

I might stop by.

Fjord · April 12, 2007 6:11PM

You know, I just might.

Fletcher · April 13, 2007 12:15AM

I'm going

kiyote · April 13, 2007 12:18AM

I'm so THERE...

flaminio · April 13, 2007 2:43AM

I put it at about 80% chance I'll be there on Friday.

Cladiator · April 13, 2007 2:48AM

Count me in...

WTCG · April 14, 2007 1:52PM

I will be there from Wednesday until the end of the show.

Longacre · April 14, 2007 1:53PM

Barndog · April 14, 2007 1:55PM

<< Count me in... >>

pick up a couple PCGS 65 1837 bust half dimes for me while you're there

coingame2000 · April 14, 2007 4:08PM

I will be there as usual at table # 645 and this time will be bringing my son along to unveil our new venture...

Mikey

SkyMan · April 16, 2007 3:03AM

I'll be there for sure (well, the good Lord willing) on friday, and maybe a bit of the day on thursday.

Would anybody like to set up a get together time on friday, maybe at the eating tables next to the cafeteria?

It would have been nice to finally meet but I have had bronchitis and know the trouble it causes, take care and get better.

SanctionII · April 16, 2007 4:31AM

I just got back from a weekend trip with my wife (and without kids:1Applause

to the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay, California(my first time staying at the Ritz,......... it is Ritzy). I exhausted from all of the stress of staying at the Ritz

.

To unwind from all of said stress I will have to take Friday and go to Santa Clara to view some little round pieces of metal. I suggest that those Forumites who attend on Friday pick a time to meet (perhaps at the tables next to the food concession). Skyman already sent me an e-mail indicating he is showing up. Anyone else interested in meeting?

Fletcher · April 18, 2007 11:44AM

Anyone going tomorrow???

BECOKA · April 18, 2007 11:49AM

I will be at table 436 with Griffin Coins.

Ask for Ben or BECOKA Coins all four days

CarlWohlforth · April 18, 2007 12:00PM

I want to make it for a few hours on Friday. If I do I'd like to meet and/or say hello to new/old friends. If I make it I'll wear my holey coin hat and Mercateer Tee shirt.

If people have a meeting time and place Friday please let me know and I'll try to stop by.

Laura Sperber

I don't have bronchitis- but I have the meds....

but alas- I'm to far away for the road trip

So i'll just wait for Long Beach

Laura- come out to it this time...we can have lunch.

my treat.

SkyMan · April 18, 2007 2:59PM

How does 2 pm Friday afternoon sound at the food concession tables?

WTCG · April 18, 2007 3:36PM

Setup was surprisingly better than expectations. Coins that were offered for sale sold without a problem and although fresh, nice material was scarce as always, the supply wasn't as "dry" some past major shows have been.

We'll see how the public hours go for the next few days.

CarlWohlforth · April 19, 2007 12:09AM

<<How does 2 pm Friday afternoon sound at the food concession tables? >>

That sounds good to me. I'll be looking for people around the tables at 2.

Fletcher · April 19, 2007 2:19AM

Anyone going today?

ipmman · April 19, 2007 3:24AM

I'll be there today..

SanctionII · April 19, 2007 4:28AM

2:00 p.m. at the food tables on Friday sounds good to me. I will be there. Hope Skyman brings some new goodies for show and tell.

Fjord · April 19, 2007 4:34AM

Unfortunately I can't get there before Sunday - I'll try to get there early before everyone packs up and leaves.

Anyone still going to be there on Sun?

Fjord · April 19, 2007 9:07AM

ttt to see if anyone else responds

alfalfa · April 19, 2007 9:08AM

I plan on attending Saturday.

RJ

anoldgoat · April 19, 2007 9:49AM

I'll be there on Saturday.

bestclser1 · April 19, 2007 11:33AM

<< Thanks! Yes, that is my motto-better living through chemistry!

A lot of people back east here are sick. The weather is horrible as you all have been reading. For me, it was TWO west coast trips in a week that did me last week. >>

Laura,get well soon.I am out with the same thing,and going around West Coast as well.

BECOKA · April 19, 2007 4:31PM

Boy Thursday was slow. Everything went great for the first couple of hours and then dead as a doornail until closing. Dealer to Dealer trading is not bad but I was looking forward to a little more activity from the public.

I decided to skip the Superior auction but I have a couple of friends that went to day 1 and can give an update.

Did meet with WCTG, Skyman and Fletcher. Look forward to meeting others on Friday.

oxy8890 · April 19, 2007 4:57PM

I was there yesterday and today. I also plan to attend Saturday. I already promised Scott I would stop by on Saturday so I am looking forward to meeting you also Becoka.

Fjord · April 19, 2007 5:55PM

Boy, this is depressing, no one's going to be there on Sun?

flaminio · April 20, 2007 2:49AM

<< Boy, this is depressing, no one's going to be there on Sun? >>

It's a coin show. No one is ever there on Sunday. The only reason they even have a Sunday is so that dealers don't leave on Saturday.

Looks like I'll be there today (Friday). I'm wearing a black and white bowling shirt with the name "Buddy" stitched on the front. If you see me, avoid the urge to hurl vegetables and say hi!

BECOKA · April 20, 2007 7:13AM

<< Eh, wait until all the losers who collect DMPL's show and start tire kicking....

I would still prefer being at the show vs. being sick.

The Spring show is not as good as the Fall one for whatever reason. >>

A board member just sold most of his CC-DMPL set to ANACONDA. Looks great under the lights.

Laura, looks like Superior got your tables up front. Guess they did not want people walking in the entrance to an empty table.

Yeah, I know, the same goes for professional conferences. Speaking on the last day is a surefire way to receive zero attendance. Unfortunately my full dance card means that I won't have any free time until Sunday at the earliest. Maybe I can give an amusing "end of coin show/ghost town bourse" report.

dizzyfoxx · April 20, 2007 8:58AM

Nope.

A bunch of the DMPL "collectors" from the Bay Area are indeed some hardcore tirekickers.

The horseshoe booth at the front of the room has belonged to Superior for several years. Laura/ Legend's table was taken over by Brian Fazio, but he returned to Houston early Friday.

Ahh, I must have miss read the map on where she would be. Looks like a prime location is available for the weekend then.

Don't count on an open location. The last I checked I believe Dave Nieta/ American Heritage Minting and Gary Adkins Associates have jointly taken over the booth.

kiyote · April 21, 2007 2:39AM

I'll be there today, Becoka, in a Coyotes hockey jersey with "Kiyote" on the back.

BECOKA · April 21, 2007 4:36PM

Day 3 update:

slow start at 10am but between 11am and 3pm it was very busy. Then all of a sudden around 4:30 there was a line of dealers with all of there stuff walking out. Still one day to go and about a quarter of the dealers are gone. I hope the public is not disappointed with the selection on Sunday.

On a bright note I met with oxy8890 from the boards and Kiyote.

Around 3:30 we noticed that Harlan White had vacated his nice corner spot by the entrance Across from Superior and near where Legend was going to be before they had to cancel at the last minute. Within 15 minutes we had gotten permission from the surrounding vendors and the show people and I moved from my shared single table to a corner with two full tables.

In addition oxy8890 was walking the floor with enough material to fill a table so he will be joining me tomorrow and will be in section 529 if anyone wants to visit.

So far I have visited with the following board members. Please forgive me if I missed anyone and post a message saying so.
Fletcher
Skyman
WTCG
Kiyote
oxy8890
Sanction II

Hope to see some more on Sunday. Even though a quarter of the dealers have left there is still some good stuff to look at.

Fjord · April 22, 2007 1:50AM

<< Hope to see some more on Sunday. Even though a quarter of the dealers have left there is still some good stuff to look at. >>

I'm heading down there now. Should be there around 10:30 or 11. Friend of mine will be tagging along.

I'm making a 'nametag' with my avatar on it.

ipmman · April 22, 2007 1:55AM

Sorry I missed everyone on Friday. I got caught up looking at stuff and forgot all about it!

I think you can all relate.

Vallejo anyone?

Fletcher · April 22, 2007 1:56AM

When is the Vallejo show?

ipmman · April 22, 2007 2:06AM

<< When is the Vallejo show? >>

Sunday, May 6th 9-4

Fletcher · April 22, 2007 2:09AM

Great ... that is a small show, but I had a good time at the last one.

Plus, I need a Flowing Hair Half Dollar with just the right look

WTCG · April 22, 2007 2:34AM

<<

I have a table at Vallejo but I may not show up.

Anyone going to the Santa Clara show next week?
