[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2904238, member: 19463"]I skipped Baltimore this time. My favorite dealer was sick and not there this time and the others I usually buy from had been at other shows I attended recently. However, I am full of opinions. I really wish I had bought more coins over the years from Brian Kritt. He has excellent taste and I never feel buyer's regret with purchases from him after I get over the prices. The food prices in the lobby are ridiculous. I never eat while there and buy another coin or ten in the time saved. Dealers have more to gain by making long term customers than sending you to the poor farm or divorce court over one sale. Over the years I have met a few real jerks in the business. Most of them seem to disappear after a very short time. There are several dealers still working from whom I first bought a coin 30+ years ago. The early-retirement plan for coin dealers is not good so many of my favorites are older than I am. I love your Arados. The oval flan got most of the good parts. I liked min but you got waves.
