Just wondering if anyone would like to share any of their Torex purchases?
Did you find that item you have been looking for and finally purchased it?
Did you find that the show was as busy as in the past, or did the crowds seem to be small? The curiosity is killing me since I couldn't make it this time around. :'(



Always looking for #1 serial number notes in any denomination/any series

The show was great, and lots of people there, so many that I had to wait for the end of the day to get to Don’s table. Like always, made some great purchases, and also spent too much money.

The Show is still on tomorrow :)

I find the stuff on the bourse floor of shows terribly overpriced, and that's even when the note matches the assigned grade.

It's funny you should say that R_P.  I haven't been to the Torex before, but my impression at the Montreal show has been the complete opposite.

I realize you probably collect a much higher caliber note than I do [I don't have any unique $4 chartered notes, that's for sure!!].  But at Nuphilex, I'm always finding notes at a discount that I've been outbid on time and time again at [online] auctions.

As far as grading goes, of course some notes are over-graded, but I find the bourse floor is the only place I have to hunt for those so-elusive super-gem notes. And lots of notes available on the floor you just don't find anywhere else at all.

Picked up this beauty at this season's show:
