<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 2355149, member: 10103&quot;]The wife and I had a chance to take in Collectorama in Lakeland Florida yesterday.&nbsp; It&#039;s a small to mid-sized show that&#039;s held twice a year....February and October.&nbsp; Yesterdays show seemed well attended with maybe 50 to 75 dealers present.&nbsp; The offerings ranged from early US issues to Morgans (lots of Morgans) as well as bullion and moderns.&nbsp; Also a sprinkling of jewelry and rock hound folks.&nbsp; Those in attendance consisted mainly of senior citizens.&nbsp; Not a YN to be found.&nbsp; Angelina was in her glory as she found a few things that she really liked..........</p><p>[ATTACH=full]479856[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]479874[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I was proud of the gal.&nbsp; She talked the dealer down from $50 to $20.&nbsp; That&#039;s probably gonna hang in my office (bathroom)..........[ATTACH=full]479881[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here she is again with some rock hound guy.&nbsp; She wound up scoring some jade and a couple of onyx bookends for a very good price.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]479882[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Now for me...........</p><p><br /></p><p>Nothing.&nbsp; Nada, zilch, naught, zip, zippo, duck egg.&nbsp; There was one Booker in the whole show and I already had it in a better grade.&nbsp; A few commems, but I had all of them.&nbsp; Some nice moderns and bullion, but the stuff (I felt) was overpriced.&nbsp; There were a few well worn classic commems that I was tempted to buy, but passed on them.&nbsp; I did see a nice Philippine Murphy and Quezon commemorative Peso in (NGC) &#039;64 but the dealer was asking $350 and not knowing much about them, I, in the end passed.&nbsp; Had he come down to $275 I might have bit.&nbsp; I wasn&#039;t willing to part with my cash for something I really don&#039;t collect.&nbsp; Better to save it for something that I do.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>All in all, a pleasant couple of hours spent with some really nice and friendly people and I will look forward to attending the show next year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
