Message:: [QUOTE="ldhair, post: 24881033, member: 11540"]I'll start by saying that it was really fun and busy most of the time. I went in on Wed. dealer setup day and was able to get some stuff done early. They were able to get in and start about 2 PM and everyone was really positive. It was crazy seeing all the dealers moving in with carts, bags and boxes. Thursday morning it looked like a different place. Most were ready for business. The lines were long for collectors to get a badge on Thursday but the FUN staff were fast and friendly. [USER=24314]@Insider[/USER] with ICG helped me with a group of coins for conservation and grading. Great guy to work with and CT members get a nice discount. Great Collections were kind to me and had 27 of my coins that are up for auction on display in their cases. I never expected to see that. Great folks to work with. The owner of GC is pretty cool. [USER=20480]@ToughCOINS[/USER] was there with many really nice coins on display. I ran into many old friends from different forums to chat with and that's what this show is all about for me. I didn't buy any coins this year but learned a lot from dealers and friends. NGC had a small party and for the first time ever, I won a door prize. It was a 2023 Silver Eagle in a sample slab with a special label for the show. I may add more but need to catch a flight.[/QUOTE]
