    Hi Everyone,

    Anyone planning to go? I'll be heading there on Thursday. It's been a while since I've gone so looking forward to it. If anyone else plans to go maybe we can meet up there.

    If I go it would be Saturday, but the website warns that there might be "limited" dealers still there on Saturday. Has this been true in your (anyone's) experience?

    Yeah, usually the last day there aren't as many dealers. That's why I want to go on the first day.

    How many dealers leave...like 50%, 75%?

    Percentage wise maybe close to 30% to 40% but it varies from show to show. Usually the bigger dealers are gone by the last day.

    Thanks for the feedback. Undecided as of now. May just wait for the Buena Park show next month.

    I would say Sat at the open 60% would be there but then early afternoon there is a big sucking sound of dealers leaving.

    That sounds like the last day of pretty much every show I've been to. People start packing up around 2 or so. The bright side is you can sometimes catch some great deals the last day.

    Do you sell Morgan's/coins professionally Chris? Wish I was going, be really cool to meet you and see what you have.

    More casually. I just set up with Dave at Long Beach because we're friends and the networking of being at a major show for 4 days is worth it's weight in US Mint gold ;)

    Guys, the vibe is excellent at the show today.. Hope it continues! If you're thinking of coming down but unsure I say do it. The vibe is so friendly and fun, more so than any other time I've been. Something must be in the air!

    Also, non-dealers can buy an early-bird badge for $100 that they can use to get in starting at 3pm on dealer setup day
