<p>[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 2179556, member: 46237"]My number one piece of advice. Take some time the night before to make a detailed list of everything you're looking for. You won't know what you need if you don't have a list. It doesn't hurt to write down the values/grades you're looking for as well if you don't have that memorized yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, walk around the bourse once and see what they're offering before you buy anything (unless you come across a truly stellar one of a kind piece that smacks you in the face). There's nothing worse than buying a coin only to realize there was a nicer one for the same price (or less) at the next dealer's table. If the show comes with a table map, I usually take notes as to which dealers have the material I'm looking for, then I go back to those tables after my first walkthrough.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have stuff to sell, bring it with you.
