The Spring Baltimore Whitman Show has been cancelled. Bummer, but I understand and agree. I'm almost 80 and am an ex-smoker so I'm in the high risk category. It's just that this show is one of only two that I go to yearly. I do the Spring and Fall shows but skip the Summer show.
It is a bummer. I love the Whitman shows but understand as well. I hope that this has a positive impact on other local shows that will take place between the end of all of this stuff and the summer show!
I was thinking that myself! I like the summer one. Do t freeze your tucas off and you can enjoy the inner harbor as well!
I know how much anticipation this carries from many collectors. I was not going anyway, but I do understand the widespread disappointment of this.
You saved me from posting the question if it was on or not. Even if it was on I was concerned about how many dealers would be there given many would be flying. Oh well let’s look forward to the summer show.
I wrote to Whitman within a day of cancellation, asking them why they hadn't canceled. Ours is a uniquely vulnerable industry, because so many dealers and customers pass so many coins across the table, and because so many of those dealers / collectors are getting on in years. I, for one am glad they made the right, hard decision.
