You guys should be come to the NUPHILEX in montreal in the spring it is still whats happening with lots of the quebecrs we still like to buy and sell the coin :)
Maybe not the big expensivel stuff like the landon but there are the guy who want the affordable thing like the reall hockey fan eh?

I am 6 hours away from Montreal, not to mention I've got classes that week and the next, so I can't go there.

Sorry, but the Torex show typically stinks year after year.
There just seems to be a 'deadness' in the atmosphere.
Very few people at 10am this morning...just a terrible turnout.

I thought about staying over from the Legacy Auction for Saturday at TOREX, but it was Valentine's Day. Best to get home.

dollarman, these is a show in Mississauga coming up in March. Are you attending and have you gone before?
I think I still remember that area, used to take the number 19 bus on Hurontario to Square One with friends, and the number 1 across Dundas to the TTC when going to downtown.

I might go Saturday afternoon. I live over an hour away but I can say the transport options are good (even though there's over half an hour between the buses if I miss it).

Poor Torex....even a post about Torex dies and gets diverted into something else.

Doubleagle I am truly stunned at how poor of a show Torex has become. Maybe it was the awful weather, everyone was Landoned out or just plain tapped out what with the auction action. Sure glad I did not come just for Torex. If I want a dismal coin show just have to do the Vancouver shows. I will just have to take SPP s advice and show up for Coin Expo then. One thing for sure it was good to hook up with some forum members for a few beers over the past 5 days and to meet some of my clients in the flesh, and share a few giggles with some of my professional colleagues. All in all a great trip with the added success at the auctions.

To be fair, I got the brochure for the show at Torex.
Sunday was pretty cold with crazy wind, that was the coldest for the time I've been in Canada.
I don't think I met anyone from the CCF there (except for the man who owns Toronto Coin Expo). I don't recognise anyone but I'm wearing a red and white pin so if you see me please greet me!

PaCoin....last summer was the first time I went to the Toronto Coin Expo show.
For some reason, I always skipped this show in the past.
NEVER more!!
It was a great show and the atmosphere was alive and exciting.
Everyone should try their best to attend this show.
Torex used to be the best, but it's dying a slow death and its website isn't doing so good either.
I think at last check it had 2 members who post.
