Road Report

We rolled into Devens at about 8:15 this morning, which was not exactly the plan.

I figured I’d be doing this show solo, since MaryAnn in the past has expressed her enthusiasm (i.e. absolutely none) for getting home after midnight and then heading early to a show the next day. But when I was packing to leave, she joined right in totally of her own volition.

Not that it turned out to be a 2-person job on this day as attendance was pretty light, possibly due to the fact that the New Hampshire show was just held a week or so ago and this event certainly overlaps many of the same customers.

One of whom arrived here, said hello and then told me he had never seen me looking more tired. So that was nice.

We saw a handful of other regular customers too (who were all possibly thinking the same thing but too polite to say it out loud), showed a bunch of coins, sold one outright, did one trade and previewed a few NEWPs slated for our next EB. Like these, for example:

In and around which I scoured the bourse floor for cool coins, found one interesting world coin, did some bookkeeping with other dealers with whom we own joint coins, said our goodbyes and headed home from where this RR is currently being penned.

And as soon as I post this, we will officially be off the clock for the next 12 hours or so before diving back into business first thing Monday AM.
