<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stork, post: 2964336, member: 71642&quot;]A bit late now, but I don&#039;t think I saw you.&nbsp; My tell this time was a purple purse, but that changes by the show.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure I walked by a lot of forum people though I did identify and chat with several I&#039;d figured out from PCGS.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just for fun (as I leave tomorrow) I sat in live on the currently running Stacks auction this evening.&nbsp; Watched an interesting and featured Italian coin go for 150K (180K with the juice) with a round of applause as a live bidder and a phone bidder duked it out hard.&nbsp; I was really there to see how a Japanese coin went a few lots later, it was almost anticlimactic at about twice estimates and $40K ($48K)!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I might see if I can wander back in and watch the Yap stone sell.&nbsp; I &#039;previewed&#039; it just to say I&#039;ve seen one...and even touched it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Personally the show felt pretty busy to me.&nbsp; I did the Waldorf version once over a decade ago (squeezed in between family trip stuff).&nbsp; Otherwise I&#039;ve been to Baltimore several times to compare.&nbsp; The aisles were tighter, but even so, it was pretty active even accounting for the layout.&nbsp; Very few dead spots.</p><p><br /></p><p>Had some interesting conversations, saw some folks, bought a few cool coins but didn&#039;t get any awesome medals like I&#039;d hoped.&nbsp; Had a great time checking out ancients.&nbsp; I feel them pulling me ever closer, and it was great to see so many in one place to get a better feel for how I might want to approach them.&nbsp; Fantastic venue for that![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
