<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 4037974, member: 26302&quot;]Many things are affecting coin shows. One, the cost of hotels, etc keeps increasing making it more expensive to travel there. Two, most good material is getting put into auctions rather than offered on the bourse. I used to go to shows and see great rarities on the bourse, now those coins are in Roma auctions. Third, with the rise of the internet, most people are collecting that way now.</p><p><br /></p><p>When there was no other option to coin shows, coin show attendance was a good gauge of the health of the hobby. With a plethora of options now, I no longer think it is. How do you account for even Ebay? How many of those sales would have been made on the bourse floor in the past?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
