Message:: [QUOTE="Paul M., post: 2422594, member: 73165"]Don't worry too much.  I think you'll be able to find a few pieces for your set.  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I have noticed that the last day does tend to bring out a tendency to deal, but some dealers will already be gone by then.  So, it's a bit of a balance.  If you're just looking for type coins, I don't think you need to worry too much about the one dealer who has "your" coin leaving before you get to them on the last day. Nobody is going to be offended if you use a loupe on their coin.  Typically, they will even lend you theirs if you forget yours. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />  I don't see any problem with carrying around a grading guide, but, as [USER=59677]@Burton Strauss III[/USER] said, it will tag you as a newbie.  That's not always a bad thing. If you want something easier to carry around, though, I suggest the PCGS Photograde app.  I find it pretty handy.  I'd say it's about 80% as useful as carrying around an actual grading book. Edit: just saw this rather good point: These are primarily not the people you want to be buying from, anyway.  Unless you have a very good idea what you're after, I'd stick to the less busy tables.[/QUOTE]
