Thursday was set up from 9-noon, then the show opened to the public at noon (earlier than last year's 2pm). It seemed like everyone was pretty busy on Thursday, business was steady, as I mentioned on another thread, I did buy a few coins and sold several coins. Friday was quite slow, which is typical in my experience when a show opens on thursday (like Long Beach), then Saturday was hopping with lots of collectors. I did well on Saturday, and from what I could tell from speaking with several dealers, they had better sales on Saturday as well.
Todd was set up doing onsite photography and selling coins (along with his dad, Roger/MustangGT). I don't think he sold many coins at this show, but he was busy on Thursday and Friday shooting lots of coins (I personally gave him about 50 coins to photograph and I know Larry Shapiro gave him a large batch as well).
From what I heard, boullion was the bid seller all around, though I did have several collectors spend some time and money at my table buying collector type coins - which of course, is what I'm there for! Lots of families and kids showed up on Saturday, including about a dozen or so scouts n their proper uniforms!
And yes the $9 parking fee was not well received, but even the dealers had to pay!
So here are a few photos I took at the show...

That's about it. I had to leave the show a little early to join my hubby in Lake Havasu - where I am right now! Just got off the water - what a beautiful day it was!!!
