<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nicholasz219, post: 4595636, member: 75641&quot;][USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER]:&nbsp; I agree with you in your assessment of @dougsmit’s coin show report.&nbsp; I also went and read it and was very pleased I did.&nbsp; Doug’s report captures well the thought process that goes through the minds of many collectors at a show I believe.&nbsp; I know that I haven’t had that kind of fun like these three did because I usually go alone.&nbsp; There has never been a specific rule either except a short list of stuff I hope to find and a long list of other things I am happy to buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’d say most of my thought process goes into two areas prior to arrival at a show.&nbsp; How much can I reasonably spend without also getting divorced in the process and which dealers I am sure to see either to say hello or to buy.&nbsp; Then I let good fortune guide me.&nbsp; I’ve honestly had my best times at shows that had few (sometimes only one) Ancient dealers.&nbsp; Finding something worthy of purchase when there might be three total row boxes of ill-identified and poorly priced coins makes it a crazy fun challenge.&nbsp; Many times I’m buying stuff on the fringes of my collecting interests but make my choices to maximize fun and research of each.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
