Forum Hats and Tee Shirts

Coinosaurus · April 13, 2011 3:30AM

When I was setup at Baltimore, I was surprised, verily amazed at the number of table visitors who identified themselves as forum members.

Perhaps if we commissioned some hats or other swag we could meet (or avoid, if you prefer) even more forum members at shows.

BillJones · April 13, 2011 3:32AM

Sorry, but I don't wear coin related clothing. It just puts a target on your back that I choose to avoid.

Isnt the fact that you're at a coin show a target enough?

I had a bunch of coin t-shirts made when I was at Heritage 20 years ago. I'm not saying who bought one from me but I will tell you that only a few of the grunts who were in non numismatic related activities in the company that didn't.

Then again I used to have pizza fedexed to me from New Jersey at Heritage too. Hey, when ya gotta have the best, there's fedex.

Neat thing about a hat is that you can TAKE IT OFF very easily

I had the CRO hat on at the last show and it made it easy for some folks to spot me.
The other neat thing about the CRO hat is that people outside of the show (even most at the show

) didn't know it was coin-related.

Not like it is a NEON "I collect coins and so probably have money on me.....attack at will!" sign

A number of years ago PCGS produced pins which could be worn to show you were a member here. As I recall, they were free, but you had to pick them up at Long Beach or one of the other major shows (which was why I never received one).

pakasmom · April 13, 2011 3:42AM

If I'm carrying a lot of cash, I get a little paranoid going back and forth to the hotel. So, I kind of agree with Bill. But maybe slap on name tags with our forum "handles" would be fun.

Maybe if we all wore matching Leisure Suits and wrote our forum name on the name tag.....kinda non-descript like!

19Lyds · April 13, 2011 3:45AM

I thought about doing up a 19Lyds shirt since its non-identifiable except for folks that post here or there but whats the point?

If forum members wnat you to know who they are they'll tell you. Sometimes the folks you tell don't have a clue what you're talking about though since they're not in "Forum Mode" but "Coin Seller Mode" which at $850-$1200 a table is perfectly understandable.

Coin Sellers could always put up a little sign at their tables if they wanted to but I don't think they're really there for idle chit-chat.

I agree, maybe a T-shirt in partnership with the Glock Talk forum would work.

Yes, that is a concern, but when I leave the show I make sure that the name tag, the glass I wear around my neck and any materials I might have picked up at the show are stowed away. Yes, going to shows is always a risk, but wearing a tee shirt or hat with coins on it when you come or go to a show is like wearing billboard. That I will avoid.

How about just a top secret handshake

Lakesammman · April 13, 2011 3:55AM

I like the idea of a "Chatroom Weenie" tee shirt using this pic posted by Broadstruck.

Many forum members do this - I know TooTawl does for sure... but then again he doesn't really need one

johnny9434 · April 13, 2011 4:00AM

Mayabe thats something I'd wear around the house. I really dont like to advertise more then I have to around the shows or elsewhere

We tried that already.

keyman64 · April 13, 2011 5:14AM

At the bigger shows I put my forum member name on my name tag.

WTCG · April 13, 2011 5:17AM

As much as I like the CRO duo I don't see the satisfaction of granting them free advertising by wearing their apparel.

RYK · April 13, 2011 5:37AM

<< As much as I like the CRO duo I don't see the satisfaction of granting them free advertising by wearing their apparel. >>

I like the CRO ballcaps. I am gunning for the complete set with varieties (in duplicate, one to wear and one to "put away"

).

Your secret investment plan is now out!

Coinosaurus · April 13, 2011 5:42AM

I tried to buy a coin from them just to get a hat, but it was already sold

ricko · April 13, 2011 6:09AM

I do not even wear T-shirts with any writing or picture on them, rarely wear a baseball cap (plain if I did). My opinions and beliefs are better represented by my words than by display. Cheers, RickO

JJM · April 13, 2011 6:14AM

lets do a coin.................

Not even one that's been bleached white?

TheBigB · April 13, 2011 6:17AM

How about a one ounce silver round?

Zoins · April 13, 2011 7:18AM

You can always wear these otherwise non-descript items:

(1) CU cap

(2) CU hoodie

(3) I heart CU cap

Identified but not really.

kranky · April 13, 2011 7:28AM

keyman64 · April 13, 2011 7:41AM

Maybe I will make one that says "One of the Cool Kids from CU"...and then everyone will want one.

ambro51 · April 13, 2011 7:49AM

Print out that little flat S or whatever it is they use for a logo,, and use a blue push pin and stick it to your forehead.

robkool · April 13, 2011 8:42AM

Sounds like a kool idea... Where's my shirt ???

MidLifeCrisis · April 13, 2011 8:46AM

I wonder if I can get CRO to customize one of their hats for me with "Mister MidLifeCrisis".

...or "That Pedigree Guy".

RYK · April 13, 2011 8:57AM

I am going to design some Circle of Trust wear. One day, some of you will get a COT cap or shirt in the mail. Most of you, well, forget I said anything.

MidLifeCrisis · April 13, 2011 8:59AM

Make my shirt a black XL. That way I can wear it with my CRO hat.

You bet, Mike.

Lakesammman · April 13, 2011 9:02AM

How about a "Dirty Gold Man" logo?? Broadstruck can provide the visual.

lcoopie · April 13, 2011 9:03AM

perhaps we could have our own
gang signs (hand signals)
how about
a C in the left hand and a U on the right

but keep it secret

Obiwancanoli · April 13, 2011 9:03AM

Gawd, I was just THINKING that this morning... I want to go to the Santa Clara coin show, but wondered about the easiest way to I.D. myself, and I figured a baseball cap wouold do it... good job, Coinosaurus!

MidLifeCrisis · April 13, 2011 9:06AM

I do like this.

He'll no doubt pick one from the dirty gold dot com website, which I will NOT approve.

Notwithstanding one's Avatar...

fastrudy · April 13, 2011 9:21AM

How about a hat with a blue fish logo, or the popcornguy logo...oh, wait....that one is no good, it moves.

ambro51 · April 13, 2011 9:26AM

A stick on paper HELLO badge, but with the CU logo, and then your 'screen name' in magic marker!

I still think "That Pedicure Guy" as yellowkid mentioned has a special ring to it for you!

pontiacinf · April 13, 2011 9:49AM

Then send me a hat with that on it, funny guy.

chumley · April 13, 2011 10:57AM

I already have my circle of trust secret decoder ring......bought it on ebay

messydesk · April 13, 2011 11:29AM

I will try to remember to bring some colored 3/4" stickers to the CSNS show that people can stop by and pick up. I will also try to remember to bring a fine-point Sharpie™ so that members of the Circle of Trust™ can discretely add the CoT logo that has been approved for public display to their stickers.
