Dealers: few slots still avail at MSNS fall
This is a three or four-day show, Fri-Sat-Sun with set-up Thursday
night. The show is over 50 years old -- 52 now? Thousands of people attend, even in a slow year. In good years, the problem is too many customers. At the Thanksgiving Show, there are _two_ bourse rooms because the Grand Ballroom is not big enough. Dealer-to-dealer transactions are often the only reason some dealers take a table. Other events at this convention include a huge YN meeting as well as Mich-Tams and Michigan Paper Money. The Exhibits, Educational Forum and Auction round out the show. MSNS brings out the fruit cart mid-afternoon. The YNs are trained to take and deliver food orders from two restaurants in the Hyatt Regency. YNs can also pass out your flyers and carry other messages. Over the last decade, I have seen a couple of my vest-pocket friends from local coin clubs move up to the show. If you are active at local club shows and want to try the major leagues, this is an easy venue. I think there was one Spring show about 10 years ago. head-to-head with Central States where fewer than 200 dealers attended. Typical attendance for Thanksgiving Weekend is closer to 300 and over 300 in bull market years. The Hyatt is a sumptuous hotel. I know that for road warriors, one place is pretty much the same as the next, and cheaper is better -- but there have been years when, just attending as a member of the public, my wife and I spent the weekend at the hotel. It's a nice getaway. If you live within a drive of Detroit -- two hundred miles is about my max -- this is a show worth making the time for and spending a day at. |
