<p>[QUOTE="NathansCoin, post: 174514, member: 6761"]Why would having a redbook mark you as a sucker. It only means THERE IS only so many thing you remember. I mean think about it. How many types of US coins are there and HOW MANY DATES. I mean not for nothing, newbie or not you cant remember every single error or price's to match grade's, let alone how may vams there are for Morgans if you are indeed looking for just those. I have seen people at shows with Books and thought nothing but, hey either hes a newbie or hes making sure hes not getting porked. Frankly I stand by not getting porked. Good luck at your show. DONT FOR GET CASH. I cant tell you how may times I have been to a show and thought i wish i brought more. lol</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT TO ADD> also ou know if you dont want the dealer to see you wip out the books, You can do a few things, Bring a note pad and pen, stand over what he has and write down what you are looking at with interest. Then go around a corner and look it up. ALSO PLEASE MAKE SURE IF YOUR BUYING SOME THING THATS GRADED by the dealler him self that you FEEL his GRADES are correct. Its a very commen practice to over grade. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THAT OUT. Or you stand to be spending not just a little bit more then book vale but A LOT. Dont be afraid to buy a few things from the same dealer if hes willing to make a price cut. Thats how i do it, I find a few guys that i like and work with them, Also even though you stand a chance of missing out on something you could get your hands on the first day on the show. Or even if you do go the first day, Go the last day as well. I have noticed that most dealers are more willing to bargin away some stuff those last hours of the show. It means there less for them to go home with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
