<p>[QUOTE="doug5353, post: 2172199, member: 73555"]One more thing you can do (at any show) is stick a 3x5 card in your shirt pocket, with "Barber Dimes" (or whatever) printed at the top. Not only does this get the dealers cranked up, you might attract a seller who's brought an album or a valuable single to sell. Do not* write "I buy Barber Dimes," just two words, whatever's of most interest that day or that show, then show operators have nothing to complain about.</p><p><br /></p><p>Used to do the same at the flea markets, a card with Stamps / Coins / Postcards, readable from 10 feet away. It pays to advertise. Carry nice business cards, first name only, no address, no phone, just a gmail address you use only for collectibles opportunities.</p><p><br /></p><p>*If a coin show authority or security guard asks you if you are ADVERTISING to "buy" Barber Dimes, you just say, "Umm, no, not at all, I just like to talk about Barber Dimes, <i><b>just like we're doing now</b></i>..." That usually causes them to shuffle off, mumbling to themselves, LOL.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
