<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silentnviolent, post: 1689069, member: 8797&quot;]Im going. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I had a great time the last time I went. Its a small show, but fun and some of the dealers were very personable fellas! I didn&#039;t share it at the time, but I had an awkward moment at that show. Check it out:</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I was trying to negotiate a possible trade + cash for a National note from my hometown. We had been gabbing for a bit, and compared and allowed each other to examine stacks of notes (his were far nicer than mine. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) He had already taken out two stacks of notes in holders and after he came to realize I wasn&#039;t playing games he decided to show me his private collection. I was excited to see it; I remember mentioning it in the other thread. We decided to clear the top of his case for viewing. I brought my stuff to the show in a big zippered binder, and as I was replacing my notes into the binder I heard the dealer say, &quot;where&#039;s that other stack of notes?&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>I just kinda froze, not immediately knowing what to do... I opened my binder back up all the way, unasked, looked at him and just shrugged a little.&nbsp; After looking around quickly, he realized he had shuffled the two stacks of notes in holders together. We just shrugged it off, and no further mention was made. Like it never even happened, though it now will live on eternally here <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Needless to say though, that when prior to the vibe killer he had seemed more amiable to my offer, afterward he only wanted cash, and I know it seemed higher than retail because he knows I wanted a National from my hometown. Then again, they were part of his personal stash, and they were GEM. Then again, THEY were GEM, meaning he had duplicates...&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Maybe next time. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Some of you may remember a certain memorable purchase.... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. </p><p><br /></p><p>So are there any other fellow Minnesotan CT members attending? Or am I really as far out in the sticks as I deny I am? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Conveniently slated for the Saturday on my weekend off, on 4-20-13. From 10am-4pm in Grand Rapids, MN and hosted by the Northern Lakes Coin Club.&nbsp; Hope to meet a fellow CT&#039;er in the real world some time![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
