Maybe the FUN is just around the corner but the Baltimore Whitman Show is here NOW (7-10 Nov). Most collectors don't go Thursday and Sunday as usual is half empty of dealers. So the best days for collectors are Friday and Saturday. Being retired I go on Friday and since I live fairly close (35 miles) I rarely miss a show (there's three per year in Baltimore). All three are very popular shows as evidenced by the fact that this location is the only Whitman site with more than one show per year. Well worth the trip and time.
I'm disappointed, as I can't go . . . cancelled vacation days intended for Baltimore . . . work becons again . . .
I'll be there both Thursday and Friday. Also I already created a thread: http://www.cointalk.com/threads/2013-winter-baltimore-coin-show.238353/#post-1811610
