Long Beach Roll Call

Post by alefzero » Mon Aug 28, 2023 5:58 pm

Who will be or might be attending the Long Beach show next week?

I am set up in the middle of the bourse (booth 732/Select Rarities) and at least fogie will be helping me out there, probably one or two others. Know of a few others who are coming. We might have enough to do some SSDC/VAM get together.

Of course I'll be there as always, Table #930, Stop by and say hello, I'm always too busy at the table to get around the floor.
Look forward to seeing you!

Despite the nearly unanimous consensus that the attendance was weak and sales low, it was a good show for me.

Hung with fogie, Mike T, and Michael D for pretty much the entire show. Quality time also with Ash, David Miller, and their entourage. Mark W stopped by on Friday for a while too. Hung at Bill W's corner here and there, mainly when we were breaking down and leaving though. Saw a number of others and had some good discussions.

I did not look at a single coin at a single other dealer's table. One of my ankles was messed up and limiting my mobility. Did pick up an 1878 VAM-14.9 in PCGS XF45 from a bourse walker who stopped at my table (nice guy with whom I had done business before). I have not pulled it out and tried to register it though yet. It is possible that it is one I used to own. That would not be the first time I inadvertently rebought a coin I previous had sold.

PCGS was running a crossover special. I took full advantage of it, dropping off 4 orders on Wednesday, the dealer setup day. Then on Thursday, a PCGS rep stopped at my table to inform me that they are now attributing the Trade Challenge varieties from my book. Too late to augment my orders and add a slew more as well. However, one of my orders ended up, without having to ask for it, getting my C-# attributions.

Here are the results. Only one VAM though, that 1880-O VAM-7 lamination already in a PCGS MS64 holder that I had shown off here before, but now with the variety attribution on the label.
