Hey Charmy, A great read as usual! I really like your Conder Tokens and since I won't be able to buy any that nice for a while it was nice to vicariously spend the money thru you! Hope you could understand that. :yes: :hail: Great pics!
Charmy: Thank you for sharing what appeared to be a great opportunity for the melding of business with pleasure. It is nice to see one smell the roses of sight-seeing, while enduring the thorns of business requirements. I believe many, as I, enjoyed your adventuresome "trip", and are pleased to have received your insights. We'll anticipate your next report. Thanks Much!! Rich
I went to college in Boston in the 1970's and it seems as if little has changed in Southie. Great report Charmy, and congratulations on the new Conder's from Stacks. I especially like the one with the cockatoo, I just won a similar Pidcock's, a D&H 454.
Thanks everyone! It truly was a wonderful trip, all the way around. And I can't wait to post some of the coins I picked up, but I have to wait for Todd to get them to me - he was so swamped and ended up photographing thousands of coins! Also, almost forgot, here are a couple more photos I took.... Mr. Organic (Raul) who is from my neck of the woods also stopped by my table. Here is a photo of my friends Karl and Joanne Stephens (dealers in foreign and U.S. coins) who were among those of us who dined "in high style" at the Harvard Club!
Thoroughly enjoyed the display and learning so much about the professionals who run this forum. Thank you so much
Thanks for sharing Charmy! Love these threads and it's good to see some unfamiliar faces. :sigh: I wish I was there or close to it at least. Nothing like it here in Florida. Maybe Shane will start such a thread from one of the Orlando shows.
Sounds like you guys had a great time! Wish I could have gone! Congrats on the card Rick!!! I am sitting here drooling! Great pick-up! Best Regards Darryl
For those of you who want to see more photos (and much better quality!) of the actual show and exhibits, check out the ANA's website here: http://www.worldsfairofmoney.com/index.php?id=249. There are some great shots of the exhibits, people, and events!!
It was pretty cool to sit there and talk to the guy while he was printing these off... pretty cool indeed. Not to mention getting to hang out with the one and only expert plunger sniper...
Matt: Thank you.. it was indeed a pleasure to hang with you as well. Now who was that "Author of the Book"...oh yes indeed another friendly face that was a pleasure to meet as well. (Howdy Frank..aka Treashunt) RickieB
