<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1794475, member: 16948&quot;]Let me first say that I LOVE the Long Beach show!!&nbsp; I really look forward to each show for several reasons, not the least of which is that I get to see and hang out with such great folks, from my local and far away dealer friends, to my regular customers, and to the great PCGS folks who work hard to make this show successful including selling out the entire bourse floor!</p><p><br /></p><p>Set up, as usual, began at noon on Wednesday.&nbsp; The weather was gorgeous, warm and sunny!&nbsp; I arrived at the convention center before noon and parked in line at the back of the convention center and waited to be let into the loading dock area.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_2909_zpsad839712.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_2862_zpscc78a3d9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_2911_zpsc9e6d6c2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Right at noon, they let us all into the bourse floor and everyone began organizing and setting up their booths.&nbsp; After I was all set up, I headed over to the exhibit area next to the Long Beach Coin Cub table to set up my “Penny Potpourri” exhibit.&nbsp; (Unfortunately, they didn’t have any kind of sign designating the area for exhibits so it was a little difficult to find.)&nbsp; I previously printed photos of each exhibit case, and had placed all of the material for each case into large numbered Ziplock baggies to make setting up easier and quicker.&nbsp; After the Chicago ANA, I expanded my exhibit by adding a Love Token section and a few new Hobo and Capped pennies, so I now had six cases to fill.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_2864_zps16fdb8ca.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_2865_zpsbfd01972.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_2831_zps97c7088f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_2832_zpsd5479017.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_2833_zps9d52bed9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_2834_zpsda1119ae.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_2837_zps46db840a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_2836_zpsa2492d30.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Wednesday is when I do the majority of my buying, and this set up day was no exception.&nbsp; I am fortunate that several of the vest pocket dealers often make my table one of their first stops to show me their copper, so I have the opportunity to buy some nice quality pieces, both raw and certified.&nbsp; My only problem is controlling myself with what I buy because my eyes are always bigger than my bank account!&nbsp; Here are a few of the coins I bought at the show….</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_2863_zpsc2172b64.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_2883_zpsd50ae411.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_2955_zps2c9ced93.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
