<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1248958, member: 13650&quot;]Was nice to meet you guys there Mike.&nbsp; I think I just missed Chip and Viper today.&nbsp;&nbsp; I was in the lobby talking with the ANA president.&nbsp;&nbsp; Left the lobby to find Charmy&#039;s table at 10 to 12, thinking I had plenty of time.&nbsp;&nbsp; It took me until 5 after to find her booth again.&nbsp; Was in the right area but was on a different side than I had remembered.&nbsp; By then they had come and gone and I missed them.&nbsp;&nbsp; Would have been nice to have lunch there with some CT&#039;ers.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I picked up a coin from NGC and left around 1:30 today.&nbsp; &nbsp; I thought I was reasonably hard core, but after a day and a half there, I was running low on funds and pretty much burnt out.&nbsp; I got several decent pics.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some that a few dealers graciously let me take.&nbsp; A few of the exhibits.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Brought home some good coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ll probably post a new thread tomorrow with some pics. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; It was a great experience.&nbsp; But I also have a new found appreciation for the smaller local shows which are a little less over-whelming, more relaxing, and more convenient.&nbsp;&nbsp; I was amazed with the quantities of quality there.&nbsp;&nbsp; There was way more high end, high quality stuff than low end stuff.&nbsp; Much more than a small show could offer.&nbsp;&nbsp; The exhibits alone were worth the trip.&nbsp;&nbsp; But you need extremely deep pockets to take full advantage of a show like this.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Did you get a chance to pick up that solid gold brick at the Apmex table?&nbsp; I did. 354 oz.&nbsp;&nbsp; 24 lbs.&nbsp;&nbsp; Like picking up a large piece of lead.&nbsp; Not every day you get to hold $656,000 worth of gold in your hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
