[QUOTE="ldhair, post: 10332355, member: 11540"]I spend a lot of time planing this show and spend almost three full days walking it. I'll have about $2000 invested in travel, hotel and expenses. Lets not even talk about bar bills.;) I pay for the Early Bird Pass that gets me in on dealer setup day and in early each day of the show. It gives me time to chat with folks before things get busy. The first day of the show, I walk in with a list of dealer tables that are important to me. After that I start walking each isle and taking note of tables that were too busy to see what was on display in the cases. It takes too much time to stand around waiting. I also take note of important coins I may wish to come back to. If not I won't remember where the coin was. After three days of searching, I average bringing home only a few coins and I'm happy. I find most every dealer to be friendly and they will help point me to other dealers that may have something I'm looking for, If I ask. Dealers are your friends if you don't act like a jerk. I'll add more to this later. Only 36 days to go. :D[/QUOTE]
