I went on Friday just as it opened and it seem like there were a lot of empty tables and dealer that I have gone to in the past missing. I literally made it around the floor twice in 30 minutes and saw virtually nothing that I specialize in to buy. if I did see it ...as usually the seller had no idea how to fairly price the coins and they were asking 2X-4X what the coins could have actually sold for in any venue I am aware of...

 

I almost always have a good time and finds lots of good stuff in lakeland so I am not downing the show but this particular time the show was a waste of my time.

Thanks for the update - I was thinking of going -

but its a haul for me in SW Fla to Lakeland - especially

if there isn't another show in another town nearby - to make it

worth my while on going...ie: Orlando County Fair show.

 

How were the Barbers there ? Any decent mid grades ??

Mike,

 

I would hazard a guess that Shane didn't see a single Barber the entire time he was there.

I got there on Saturday. It was first time I've been there and did not buy anything, but I did sell one small item.
