<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 2169658, member: 16948&quot;]Thursday started off busy and was nonstop all day.&nbsp; Everyone I talked to said they had really good sales on Thursday.&nbsp; It was so busy that I didn’t even get around the bourse to take photos.&nbsp; However, I did have one visitor who stopped by to say hi!&nbsp; Even though Nina is no longer working at GreatCollections, she still has a lot of connections in the coin industry and came to the show on Thursday to help one of her dealer friends.&nbsp; So of course, I would be remiss if I didn’t take a photo of my little gal pal, especially since I know she is always a popular attraction in my show reports!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2006%20Long%20Beach/IMG_1173_zpsabxhsky6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Speaking of gal pals, Amanda was so busy at this show that she barely had time for a photo, but I was able to take a quick pic before she was off and running!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2006%20Long%20Beach/IMG_1177_zps6mmbzj10.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>After a very busy day that flew by, I headed out to Naples Ribs, which has been a regular Thursday night dinner dealer destination of the Long Beach show for several years – thanks to Ernie who organizes it and reserves the back room just for the dealers.&nbsp; Here are photos of some of the usual Naples Ribs gang!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2006%20Long%20Beach/IMG_1179_zpsqf8jzimu.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ernie and his friends</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2006%20Long%20Beach/IMG_1180_zpsnl2zkjql.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Rick and Kenny Snow, along with Todd Pollock/BluCC Photos</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2006%20Long%20Beach/IMG_1185_zpsbiaykwfc.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Me and Cindi/ANACS</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2006%20Long%20Beach/IMG_1189_zpstaloiofy.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Logan McKechnie/VAMS &amp;
