2017 Scna 45th Annual Convention And Coin Show

I should be there on Saturday.

I will send you an e-mail.

This (the fall) show is usually in Greenville at TD Center. (The spring show used to the there, too, but moved to Spartanburg about ten years ago.)

This is the first first year this show was held in Spartanburg. Since it was always the bigger show, I was skeptical of the smaller venue. Looks like I had good reason for concern. I could see where the squeezed in more tables, but there were a lot of empty tables when I got there. It was not that crowded and there were dealers packing up well before 3PM on Saturday.

I had to leave early myself. I did not get anything on my list nor did I get to meet with commems.

It seemed like the missing and early packing dealers were ones who usually attended the show in Greenville, but not the spring (late winter really) show in Spartanburg. The venue in Greenville is a lot bigger with more parking, so some of them may have been unimpressed and left after Friday.

If you want to add it to your calendar, the next show in Spartanburg is 16, 17, and 18 February 2018. I will add a calendar event as we get closer.

I have to say, with my new interest in PCGS Ikes, I have not had much success with the last two shows. I walked away with one when I saw you there in February, but none this weekend.

Also, trying to fill out those last holes in the Dansco albums is tough. What I did find I could not afford after buying the 2017 Liberty Medal set last week. That took a big bite out of my budget.

I hope to have better success in February. I might focus on the Dansco holes and leave the Ikes to ebay.

That is correct, different sponsors between fall and spring shows. Many of the same dealers come to both, but the fall show typically has more.
