Aw rats! I just got an email that the Long Beach Coin Show scheduled for mid-June has been cancelled. Also, the monthly shows in Anaheim for April and May have been cancelled. The last show that I was able to go to was the February 2020 Long Beach Expo and was really looking forward to this one. I was thinking what with the vaccines and all it would be a go. Let's hope they can get the September show in. Are any of you in an area where they're having shows? Here in So Cal they just keep cancelling them.  |

Coin shows and COVID-19 should not be mixed. That is why none have been held, at least in Australia. As a result, my social numismatic activities have been at a standstill for more than a year.  That is despite the fact that Australia has been relatively free from COVID-19 for almost all of that period. |

The one scheduled for June 25/26 in the east bay is still on. Of course that could change. No where as big as Long Beach only 30 dealers but it's still a show.

The last show I attended was last February as well. I missed the one this year and the fall show last October. Neither were canceled, but where I live too many people have not taken this thing seriously.  Quote:

I heard that it got too expensive to keep up so it was sold off. If I'm not mistaken, it was dismantled and moved up the coast to someplace in Oregon. |

I like to go to big shows, but the Long Beach shows are not on my list. I live on the East Coast so the cost of transportation and accommodations would be too much. Definitely equal to a couple good coins. The Baltimore Whitman Shows are my number 1 but there have been 5 canceled because of COVID. I suspect the November show will be a "go". I've been to two ANA shows over the years, New Orleans and Wash, DC. I want to do one FUN Show and one Central States. That's about it; that will keep me east of the Mississippi. |

I had the recurring coin show dream this weekend. The one where I am finding unbelievable deals. Double sad when I woke up. No deals, no shows. |
