Kurt Bellman, post: 3165460, member: 71723"]Show post mortem: Getting ready to head out to 30th St. Station to grab Amtrak’s Keystone, which will take me to within a block of my place. The dealers were ecstatic, both in terms of selling, AND buying quality raw material from attendees (I keep telling you guys this about this region.). The exhibit awards were given to popular recipients, except mine. “Why did HE get THAT?” LOL. The attendance audit is still to come, but it LOOKS LIKE the best attended summer ANA show since not 2012, but 2000!!! Next summer’s is in Rosemont, Illinois near Chicago O’Hare airport and is being held there to celebrate the 100th birthday of the Chicago Coin Club. Late this coming March, the ANA National Money Show is in downtown Pittsburgh at the convention center there. In just a short time, mid-September, the regular PAN show is in Monroeville, PA, out east of town where the Turnpike runs. Oh, also TWO years from now, the summer ANA is ALSO in downtown Pittsburgh. They get shows, and Chicago gets shows because they have the most active clubs to supply the extra labor it takes to put one of these on. And speaking for me, if I never see another CDN Monthly “greysheet” promotional item, it’ll be too soon. My right hand wants to cramp up just thinking about it.[/QUOTE]
