[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2614466, member: 56859"]Thanks for the show report, Sallent :) I've only been to two shows, ANA summer 2014 and CICF 2016. They were fun but it is extremely expensive for me to attend shows, plus I hate haggling and apparently that is expected. Can't say I've succeeded in acquiring many bargains at shows... perhaps a few, but some of my worst "overpaids" were from those two shows, especially before I knew haggling was expected. I'd like to attend one show every year if I can do so without huge travel expenses. Meeting the dealers is fun and seeing various coins in hand is good experience, as is lotviewing for the big auctions. In general though I prefer buying coins at auction, with the ease of internet research for valuation, etc. I'm trying to fly home after a couple of weeks with my mom in TX. The cold weather delayed my first flight 3 hours which means I'll miss the next two connecting flights and there are no later flights on the final leg. The whole thing had to be rebooked until tomorrow and of course I lost my good seats :(.[/QUOTE]
