The weather down here in central Florida has been nothing but grand. Warm sunny days abound. I think we've had only two or three rainy days since I've been here (early January).........sorry to all the folks back home experiencing snow and such.</p><p><br /></p><p>I started out my sojourn south in early January and planned to arrive by Thursday (Jan. 10) or at least by Friday (11) but I didn't get into town until late on Friday, so Saturday had to suffice for my visit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Saturday dawned warm and sunny and I got to the show at around 11:30. The first thing I did was to check out the major TPG services for sample slabs. ICG had nada. ANACs had nada. NGC (you guessed it) had nada. PCGS? Yuppers........those guys always come through for me. One for myself and two extra for some friends back home. Those guys are always friendly and accommodating.</p><p><br /></p><p>After that, I walked the floor for awhile, looking for classic commems, but most were over-priced, so I passed on a lot of material.
