Cool examples! I had not seen most of these before.
I think your criteria are solid. I don't have experience with these particular coins but in general don't jump at the first coin you see unless it...

Nice commems!
Nice finds!
Looks like a productive show with many cool purchases! I mentioned the parking issue too. It looks like there was another event at the convention...
