Well, the highlight for today was buying this token for half price:

I've been tracking this for awhile and knew they had it overpriced. Again, the Conder market is small and while this is a rare token (<75 made) in wonderful colorful condition, their typical buyer doesn't go after these. Me, however, get very excited (even "giggly" has my mood avatar indicates!) when I come across something I want at the right price. (This same type token was the first Conder I bought back in September but had decided to send back due to spotting).
I also took my free SLQ book to the author, Mr. Cline, for his autograph. I also had a very nice long conversation with Anthony Swiatek regarding my U.S. type purchases which he agreed to examine (and liked their originality and eye appeal). He also suggested that the coin market is due for a major fall and feels buyers should wait until after Central States to buy. He thinks dealers are stocking up on their nicer things and trying to unload the "widgets" (my term, not his). He sees many dealers who will try to ride out the storm and hoard the good stuff. He said he's having a good show so far, but that Baltimore was terrible because he only bought one coin and sold it for a $200 profit. One transaction, that was it.
Ah well, I am rambling a bit as Led Zepplin ("ramble on") would say, just not with various women as in the song!
Time to get back to the show!
