Long Beach Coin, Currency, Card, etc. Expo

[Danny Smith]

Is this show worth going to for vintage cards? I happen to be in the area for vacation for the show this upcoming weekend. Anyone ever hit it up? What are your experiences there?

Thanks.

I haven't been in about a year, but when I did it had a few dealer tables and an auction house or two looking for consignments. It's a coin show that added cards when the coin market slowed down a few years ago. Probably a total of about 8-10 different dealers, but only half of those with cards for sale, along with PSA taking submissions. Shouldn't take more than about 10 minutes to go thru it, and there is lots to do in that area once you're done.
I'm going to the Scuba/Travel show in the same building so I'll probably pop in. I think if you go on PSA's site there are free passes.

Thank you for the info on the free admission. And the insight. I'll probably hit it up.

I checked out Long Beach last time - very disappointing with 50 coin guys (international) and about 6 card dealers. There is however a smattering of people selling other stuff, post cards, antiques...that kind of makes it interesting. No where near as good as Adam's SoCal show last month, but I will swing buy at some point although I'll probably have more luck at Rose Bowl Flea on Sunday.

Out of the 6 dealers or so, are any of them vintage?

Most had some T cards as I recall
