[QUOTE="kanga, post: 1206128, member: 9270"]I went Friday and I noticed two things that seemed to differ from past shows: 1. The Friday morning attendance appeared low than in the past. Someone suggested that the site location change might has affected attendance. But I tend to discount that since it was still in the Convention Center, just a different room. 2. Early commemorative were MUCH more prominent than in past shows. I've noticed recently that the market in early commems seems a bit soft. Don't know if the two are in any way connected. Also a comment for MFD caught my attention. He had NO luck at a recent auction (was Long Beach in the last month?) (Or the pre-Whitman show auction?) Prices were blowing pass what he thought was reasonable. I know that winning bids on Teletrade are above what I consider reasonable ... and that's BEFORE buyer's fee and S&H are added in. Are some people just considering those costs are just part of doing business?[/QUOTE]
