Is FUN being viewed with fear or hopeful anticipation?

Depends on whether you are an auction consignor or not.

Hopeful anticipation, first big show and am looking to boost up my collection this January.

I'm hopeful I can find something for at least one of my sets, for a change....

I'm excited about it, but of course there are many more shows this year and plenty of things to do before January.

Hopeful anticipation.

I feel gold will be much higher than today and in general that will help boost the show. Those looking for top coins at auction will still be out there competing. Hard assets have over-corrected somewhat and should move upwards through early March.

I am hopeful, but I think the auctions will not be as strong as in previous years.

It was understood that the FUN consignments are much heavier than in past years so it will take stronger people to lift all those boxes. They are also heavier due to the humidity in Florida and the excess of cackroach droppings and parts infesting the environs.

So, I agree that auction prices will be greater than expected and floor sales (except carpet) will be flat.

Unless stocks come back I am not a buyer. I am curious but think it would be good if prices come down for a while.

Hopeful anticipation, like every year! K

I am hopeful that I will be able to attend this year. The other three radiologists on the forum are attending, and I would not want to miss this gathering.
