<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 2014851, member: 16948&quot;]However, Saturday morning came way too soon!&nbsp; I woke up and found that it had rained during the night – we haven’t had much rain in Southern California so it was great to see some wet pavement for a change.&nbsp; Here’s the view from my hotel that morning.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2011%20Baltimore%20Show/IMG_7827_zps16b24cd1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2011%20Baltimore%20Show/IMG_7828_zps4ed25142.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>After I opened up my booth, I walked around the bourse floor to try and fill some want lists.&nbsp; I stopped by Rick’s table to see what he might have gotten in the auctions and he showed me this really rare pattern with a blank reverse!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2011%20Baltimore%20Show/IMG_7840_zps976fcdd4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2011%20Baltimore%20Show/IMG_7842_zps52febff8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I went over to NGC to submit some new Conder tokens and they were slammed!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2011%20Baltimore%20Show/IMG_7829_zps987a1d9e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS was also very busy with everyone trying to get their submissions in before the 11:00am cut off time.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2011%20Baltimore%20Show/IMG_7830_zps61e1ca93.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The show was fairly well attended on Saturday morning, but by noon, both dealers and the public began clearing out.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2011%20Baltimore%20Show/IMG_7843_zpsb243e43e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Soon it was time for me to pack up and head to the airport.&nbsp; Nina, Shawn and I were all on the same flight so we took a van together to the airport.&nbsp; We stopped at a restaurant near our gate to grab a bite to eat and discovered that all the other patrons at the restaurant were dealers waiting for the same flight to Chicago!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This little café had great burgers!&nbsp; Shawn and Nina – that little girl sure can chow down!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2011%20Baltimore%20Show/IMG_7845_zps1b10ef36.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2011%20Baltimore%20Show/IMG_7844_zps83e3ab42.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Me and Nina goofing off with selfies!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2011%20Baltimore%20Show/IMG_7858_zps437bd668.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2011%20Baltimore%20Show/IMG_7859_zps51ead7cf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So long Baltimore till next time!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2011%20Baltimore%20Show/IMG_7855_zps41f1b5a0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And of course, me so happy to be going home!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2011%20Baltimore%20Show/IMG_7846_zps52dbab1d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, from my personal experience and from speaking with other dealers, the show was a little slow selling-wise.&nbsp; It seem that bigger coins were harder to sell, while smaller, less expensive coins sold better so many dealers are holding back or being more cautious with what they are buying.&nbsp; I also heard that wholesale overall was way down.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Next up – a small show in Sacramento, followed by a few relaxing days at a lodge with my bff Cindi in beautiful Yosemite.&nbsp; Then the Houston Money show and Las Vegas show in December.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
