And yes, it's way, waay too late to sign up to be a page. You needed to do that way back when we recommended you do it. The pages have to be there before the dealers do.

Thanks for the info, guys. I figured it would be too late to become a page, I got busy and forgot.

Now, appropriate dress? I've been to many coin shows, no huge ones, so is the dress code any different? I wear plain colored shorts with a polo, would this be considered ok?

As for appropriate dress I suggest that you use
the same rule as for a convenience store:
"No shirt, no shoes, no service."

I DO recommend wearing your most comfortable shoes and/or
use some Dr. Scholl's Foot Pads. The floor can be hard on your feet and legs,
especially if it is cement.

Coin show and appropriate dress... Now those are two phrases I've never heard in the same sentence.
Wear what you want. It doesn't matter.

Th only 'registration' I have done for coin shows is so that they have your name and address for future mailouts. It is the only junk mail I will bother to read.

It depends on the reaction you want from a person. Dress poor or dress rich. Deception is a powerful weapon.

Some of the richest people I know dress as they have no money, just as some of the poorest people I know dress as if they are always going out on the town

One suggestion. Wear a Red Sox hat instead.

Leave out the propeller beanie and the maryjanes and you'll be fine.

Also belt or suspenders.

Oh, and waistband around your waist.
