<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 127478, member: 4552"]I just collect everything. I don't care if it's old, new, high grade, low grade, discolored, etc. I just like collecting coins so I just keep whatever I can. I go to at least 2 coin shows a month and it is really difficult not to buy something. I hate going to a coin show and not buying something regardless of what it is. If it is in a slab, out comes the saber saw and no more slab. </p><p> As to dealers with the almighty attitude, it is not just with coins you know. I also go to gun shows, camera shows, knife shows, train shows, computer shows, etc. and around here there is a show of some kind every weekend all year long. The worst snotty dealer I ever ran into was at a camera show. He had a table full of Hasselblad, Leica and Bronica Lenses. I asked if he also might have a few Pentex lenses. He actually told me to move on so I wouldn't give others a BAD impression of his inventory.</p><p> For some reason people at gun shows are the best mannered people to deal with. Possibly the merchandise keeps tempers at a minimum. </p><p> So fare at the greatest amount of coin shows I've never met a rude or ignorant dealer. I say most because at the super international coin shows here I really meet some strage people.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
