ANA convention a busy, satisfying event - Numismatic News
Aug 29 at 8:08pm
Having spent a week-plus in Baltimore attending the ANA’s 117th anniversary convention, I returned home with my head spinning a bit, but otherwise undeterred.
Some decisions as an ANA board member were agonizing, impromptu discussions were endless, and for the most part my pursuit of personal collecting interests was accorded the short shrift. Having now attended all or part of 47 of the last 48 conventions, however, I emerged with feelings of satisfaction and zeal.

Final Thoughts on 2008 World’s Fair of Money - Coin Collector’s Blog
Aug 11 at 2:02pm
I heard many reports of a successful World’s Fair of Money, I wish I was able to attend other days. Unfortunately, with it being two-and-a-half weeks after knee surgery, I was not able to recover in order to make a return trip. So I took the week off to recover and allow my knee to heal. But I had a few thoughts I would like to share.

ANA Recap - John Feigenbaum’s Ramblings
Aug 5 at 10:10pm
I rushed back to the main ANA on Tuesday morning for the opening of PNG Day and the momentum continued. We exhausted ourselves trying to keep up with the pace of business. Now, we mostly do wholesale at shows, and the ANA is no exception, but collector traffic was very good for the show. The trend of declining show attendance is still there and I think the ANA will report lower numbers than in previous years. But that’s due largely to the fact that serious collectors are happy to stay home and acquire coins via the Internet.

It was a very long day in Baltimore. After driving for over an hour, I finally made it to the Baltimore Convention Center and started to feed pictures and text to Twitter and Photobucket. I hope those who followed enjoyed the updates. I know there were some time gaps between Tweets, but I needed to take time to do my own searching! Also, connection issues prevented a few pictures from uploading. But it was fun.
