[QUOTE="Arizona Jack, post: 590400, member: 9308"]What a day. I played poker with Mrs Aj and my buddy mark untill 2:00 am last night, I do not advise that on any coin show night. We play a $50 buy in no limit ring game, usually 3 a night with our small 3 person group. Sheila usually wins, she is an Annie Duke in waiting. She knows when I'm lying, I cannot play with her............ I awoke with the fuzz in the head and blurry eyes at 6:30 to an alarm clock and the smell of fresh coffee. Set up and ready to go by 8:00 when the public comes in. BAM, 15 minutes later I sell on of my XF-40 1914-D's...a great start. Overall, I did more buying than normall, the walkups seemed to just find me, I added 45 or so PCGS slabbers to my modern 34-58 inventory, all in 66 and 67 grades ( from one seller ) and add another 15 or so in the old little ANACS....some of which are worth crossing, a few are 67's and all there, solid 67's........ Magman stopped by as he does occasionally, we put up the "back in 15 minutes ' sign and retired to the lounge for a few and exchanged our plans for Long Beach and the like. 1 Bloody Mary to shake of last nights dust and I was ready to go again. A PCGS forum member stopped by and BAM, another 14-d sold, this one a PCGS MS-63 BR with red to die for. A true liner and a great coin. I did my best to stay for the remainder of the show, but by 2:00 I was draggin and wrapped it up. AZ Mark got his feet wet with a nice buy/sell quickie, I was happy with the sales and new purchases, and tell you what, I have never worked so hard at a show. My first lull was about noon, but you know what they say, ' A bad coin show is better than workin' Mark and I teamed up on a large collection of Morgans, if our buy offer sticks, I will have some real sweeties to offer here soon, including some better date stuff, 93-s, 89-cc and a few lower priced high grade coins. My fingers are crossed. After a 2 hour nap, this has been the hardest working coin show I have ever done, even tho it is a small 40 table 1 day show, business was brisk.....for me.[/QUOTE]
