[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 2992680, member: 57463"]Don't believe everything you hear from a coin dealer. Literally, it would mean 85 people from the public for the 330 dealers. That is simply not true. Now, indeed, there was a Zombie convention going on at the same time and they had way more people, wrapped down the halls and waiting to get it, which the ANA did not. But on the other hand, that just makes the buyer's position stronger, so what is your complaint? The mid-winter shows have always been weaker than the annual summer show. The historical trend may be against them. There has been some sociological handwringing that coin shows and conventions are dead because of eBay and all that. I do not see it. Coin collecting is the kind of hobby that appeals to loners, as opposed, say to football or NASCAR. But people do like getting together anyway.[/QUOTE]
