<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2469015, member: 19463&quot;]The best show is the one you find filled with dealers selling the coins you like.&nbsp; Shows that charge more than Baltimore for a table, tend to attract dealers who sell coins &#039;over my head&#039; so I do better at smaller shows closer to home.&nbsp; If I spend an average of $1k at a show but have to spend half of that getting there and other expenses, the coins suffer.&nbsp; If you spend $10k at a show the percentages are tipped to the larger show&#039;s favor.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is exactly why I am not going to Baltimore this weekend.&nbsp; The big time US guys that run the local club don&#039;t sponsor&nbsp; the bus I like to ride up there because they see the &#039;meh&#039; so going would mean a 3 hour drive each way and a big parking bill.&nbsp; They see a &#039;meh&#039; show;&nbsp; I see a show with lower attendance and fewer high end dealers I don&#039;t buy from anyway.&nbsp; The dealers I like will be there selling my &#039;meh&#039; coins to JA.&nbsp; I hope you came home having converted all your dollars into denarii.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
