<p>[QUOTE=&quot;funkee, post: 1694672, member: 37925&quot;]Parking was terrible. It took me 20 minutes to find a spot. This SUV taking up 4 spots angered me a bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]257131.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>There were more dealers than I was expecting. Must have been at least 60 tables, with about a dozen tables with currency. I got to hold some very high-end notes that I would never be able to afford. A Gem 65 1923 $10 Pokerchip and a Gem 67 Bison were a few. The crowd wasn&#039;t too large for a Saturday morning/afternoon. Maybe 3-4 people per table. So it was possible to get some time to look through notes and ask questions.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got a fair price on the Martha. I paid what would&#039;ve been the equivalent of $385, but I ended up trading a few duplicates and unwanted notes for it. Good thing is the trade value I got was higher than most of what I paid for these notes, with the exception of the South Carolina obsolete, on which I took a $7 loss.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the Martha I traded:</p><p><br /></p><p>- One XF $1 Hawaii (Valued at $35) - Paid $25</p><p>- One XF $1 North Africa (Valued at $40) - Paid $32</p><p>- One VF++ 1928A $1 Silver Certificate (Valued at $20) - Paid $20</p><p>- One VF++ 1934 $1 Silver Certificate (Valued at $25) - Paid $25</p><p>- One XF+ 1928D $2 Legal Tender (Valued at $25) - Paid $25</p><p>- One XF+/AU 1928F $2 Legal Tender (Valued at $25) - Paid $25</p><p>- One VF Stained 1917 $1 Legal Tender (Valued at $75) - Paid $50</p><p>- One XF+/AU 1872 South Carolina Obsolete (Valued at $50) - Paid $57</p><p>- $90 Cash</p><p><br /></p><p>I spent some time at Emporium and he had a large selection of notes nationals. Quite interesting to look through. I&#039;m not particularly looking for nationals, but grabbed the Chase New York bank as a good type note that was relatively inexpensive.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It is very good. It&#039;s unfortunate that the back is a bit dirty, especially for an ornate back series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
