<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 572222, member: 6036&quot;]<b>Thursday night - Celebrity Party Marathon !</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Well, I gotta tell ya... Thursday night, Da Boyz were in rare form.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After an amazing day, we were headed back to our hotel room when my wife Robin gets a bright idea. &quot;Hey ! Why don&#039;t we stop by the pub for a little nightcap ?&quot; she asks me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Whoooo boy.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Well, we belly up to the bar. About the time they deliver me a nice cold frosty, The Boys of &#039;94 show up. I&#039;m not gonna drop any names, but all the Playahs were there.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I recognize one fellow - he sold his personal Large Cent collection a while back. More than $10 million.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, Robin didn&#039;t know him (an older gentleman), but she noticed his Early American Coppers name badge and says &quot;hi&quot;. He sits down next to us and we had this wonderful chat for about 45 minutes. Very friendly and convivial. Maybe even just a little bit of silliness was going around...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Before long, we had met everyone in the place. Many big names. The guys who have entire auction catalogs named after them. The guys who write the catalogs. The book authors. The big dealers... and small dealers as well. An all-star cast !</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And here&#039;s what gets me...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Let&#039;s say you like movies. Are you ever gonna rub elbows with the big stars ? No.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>How about sports ? Are you ever gonna hang with the All-Pro Hall of Famers ? No.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But in numismatics, you can. Easy. You don&#039;t have to be a Playah. I&#039;m not.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But this EAC thing is amazing. The true giants are everywhere, but you wouldn&#039;t know it by their personalities. All very friendly and approachable. They love to chat about their hobby just like you and I do.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, no lie, there I was.... average guy like me, asking the Hall of Famers their personal strategies. How do you inspect a coin ? What do you look for ? How did you get started ? Where do you find the best stuff ? Why do dogs have black lips ? <i>(just wanted to see if you were still reading)</i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, what an awesome bunch of guys. Truly a great time was had by all !</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Field Correspondent Ricky B - aka ya boy Lil&#039; Slick - ovah and OUT !!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
