<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 2985699, member: 92083&quot;]I am guilty, Mr. Bellman! I love shows! I love meeting people and finding out what they collect and why. I like seeing everything from visitors trying to pass off their junk to dealers, to dealers lying about not knowing if their coins have been cleaned, to seeing beautiful undergrades, what is available raw, and even a nice dealer sharing their life story of how they were attracted to the hobby. It is also fun to see if you can finally find that elusive piece you need for your set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Buffalo has a show once a month hosted by the BNA. Sadly, very rarely is anything new from the dealers, and when there is, because I am not a dealer, all the dealers snatch up good stuff before the show starts. Very annoying for your average collector, but I still enjoy trying.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other thing is that I tend to be a buyer of more expensive coins, like ones around the $200-$1,000 range. Because there are so few people like me, their inventory of such items is scarce except for Morgans, which I do not collect. For example, I need a nice 1945 S ms66 or ms66+ full step war nickel. I also need a nice 1943 &quot;doubled EYE&quot;. Haven&#039;t seen either in Buffalo or Erie, PA in over a year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
