<p>[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 1529490, member: 16948"]I believe the Long Beach show is getting better and better! CU is doing everything they can to improve the attendance by both dealers and collectors at this show. They had every table filled and also had very good attendance by the public. </p><p> </p><p>Set up began at noon on Wednesday. The day was really warm but we had some light rain too, so that made it very muggy. </p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2009%20Long%20Beach/IMG-20120908-02904.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>And since the large warehouse door was open in the back so the dealers could unload their inventory, they didn’t turn on the air conditioner, so for a few hours it was terribly hot and muggy inside the bourse. They eventually closed the large door and turned on the air conditioner! This is the loading dock at the back of the convention center where most of the dealers load/unload (with the loading door closed)</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Part%202/LongBeach-Lakewood-20120908-02905.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>After my booth was ready to go, I walked around the bourse to hunt for some coins on my customer want lists. I didn’t find the specific coins I was looking for but found some nice raw early copper for general inventory. </p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2009%20Long%20Beach/LongBeach-Lakewood-20120907-02890.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>A friend of mine knows I collect penny teapots and brought me over three more for my collection, two Indian cents and a Canadian cent, so I decided to display them all in my case!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2009%20Long%20Beach/LongBeach-Lakewood-20120906-02879.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Soon it was time to open a bottle of wine I had gotten from Temecula!
