The Long Beach Show in a Nutshell

[John Maben]

I returned early to prepare for Ivan, and because of this my review is not very in depth, but it still sums things up from my perspective...

Thank you for the report.

I love show reports.

Nice report John. How do you think the Palm Beach show will do? Seems like the whole idea of it being in Florida is a bad one!

Thanks guys. Sorry it was so short but I was a bit messed up by Ivan, I actually left town with the family but now that Ivan looks to be going off to the west we have come home again. I think Palm Beach will be better than Long Beach! We'll see...

Thanks for the show report John. I felt these last 2 months were saturated with shows, which is why I didn’t bother to go to Long Beach myself. Seems I made the right decision considering your report and word of mouth from other dealers…. We opted to set up at Charlotte, North Carolina instead that week and had a GREAT show!

Good for you Gary! There is only a few "major" shows between now and FUN, and this is very welcome indeed...

 

And now for my cheap plug...

 

Many of you have asked me to list coins on my website. I can't do it right now but hope to next year. In the meanwhile, I will be running occasional coin listings in Coin World and my first is in the mail now on page 43 of the Sept 27th issue.

Thanks for your consideration.

End of cheap plug.

John, Great report and so few dealers are nice enough to supply newest info. I'm holding some VF to AU58 Morgan, WL, and Barber keys and heard dealers weren't stepping up on these anymore. They're getting customer "sticker shock" price resistance and aren't buying unless really nice for the grade with a buyer. End of the runup maybe?
