<p>[QUOTE="joesmom, post: 32195, member: 934"]I can't begin to tell everyone how happy I am! At the small local show last weekend I came upon a table that I've purchased from before. Now that I've become rather regular at these shows, people are starting to remember me. What I found particularly refreshing about this dealer is that they didn't completely disregard me and blow me off simply because I'm a woman. I took one of their cards thinking I should track down their shop one day. Yesterday we didn't have anything planned so my husband offered to drive me over there so I could see where it's at. It's only about a half hour away at most...dangerously close <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> . When we walked in all 3 gentlemen remembered Joe & I. I felt like a kid in a candy store! They had a huge selection of just about anything that I could ever want to look for, with only a small portion being slabbed. Joe had fun picking through the obligatory 'treasure chest' and my husband even enjoyed chatting with a customer that we discovered only lives a few short blocks from us and claims to visit the shop about 3 times a week. Hmmm, I started thinking "car pool"! LOL</p><p><br /></p><p>Needless to say, I could have spent all day in there. But for the sake of my husband's sanity I kept the visit to just about an hour with a vow to come back when he's at work and Joe is in school. My haul included a few goodies for my type set (which is still in it's infancy until I can do some more research), some supplies and a book that I've been hunting around for...The Complete Guide to Walking Liberty Halves! All in all a wonderfully satisfying trip. I can't wait to go back and spend some more time brousing the cases and scouring the huge selection of books.</p><p><br /></p><p>I've found a hand full of shops here in the DFW area, but none that I would ever bother with stepping foot in again until yesterday. </p><p>I'm sorry that this post isn't informational or seeking help.
