<p>[QUOTE="russell1256, post: 24608925, member: 120606"]I attend a lot of coin shows, most of them are good, some not so good. If I attend a show with 30 tables and it calls itself a coin & stamp show, or coin & card show, I know what to expect. I am retired, so traveling to show is not a problem. My wife and I plan some of our trips around coin shows. The lousy ones we just won't go back to, but I have never complained about one until now. We just came back from the Colts Neck Coin Show in New Jersey. That is what they called it a "Coin Show", with "About 50 dealer tables". I am frustrated because we traveled an hour and a half each way and payed over $20.00 in tolls. There may have been "about" 50 tables with most of them full, BUT about three quarters of the show was sportcards, maybe 10 tables of coins. I talked to one of the dealers and he said a few years ago this turned into a baseball card show. I don't want to be that "get off my lawn guy", but unless you are local, don't bother with this show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
