Lakeland, FL Collectorama Show - February 24-26, 2006
The 40th Semi-Annual Lakeland, Florida Collectorama Show will be held
February 24-26, 2006 at the Lakeland Center (Exhibit Hall). There will be about 100 Coin and Currency Dealers, and another 25 or so Neat Collectibles, Postcard, Paper Americana, and Autograph dealers setting up during the weekend. BRING THIS NOTICE FOR FREE ADMISSION. Just present this notice to Registration and you will not be charged the $3.00 (Good for the weekend) Admission Fee. Collectorama also "buys" the parking lot so attendees do not have to pay any parking fees during the show. Collectorama does a tremendous amount of publicity and advertising and, direct mail to previous attendees, invites to over 1000 Florida and Georgia dealers to come and do business, and does paid newspaper ads in Florida that reach over 4.3 million people. With Gold, Silver and Platinum "red hot" and prices reaching 25 year highs, business is expected to be very brisk, especially in precious metal related material. The Coin and Currency markets are also "red hot" and there dealers will be buying and selling a wide range of numismatic materail, as well as Collectibles of every description. Some folks say Collectorama isn't a Coin Show because they also have Neat Collectibles there. Other folks say Collectorama isn't a Collectibles Show because it has so much Coins and Currency. Management of the Collectorama Show say it is a multi-hobby show, with its main emphasis on Coins, Currency and Precious Metals, which also includes a lot of fun and profitable collectibles fields. Whatever you want to call Collectorama it is a very good business show, in a great facility, in the middle of Florida during its busiest tourist season. Only about a half hour from either Tampa or Orlando Lakeland offers a nice small town atmosphere, with major metropolitan area just a short distance away. Close to all central Florida attractions such as Disney, Sea World, Bush Gardens, Epcot and Cypress Gardens, it is a great place to bring the family for a weekend of business and enjoyment. Be sure to leave time for Farmer Jones Red Barn for some of the best steaks in Florida. All youngsters, 12 or under, get a daily dip into the Kid's Bucket for a Free Hand Full of Money, and generous dealers and collectors help keep the bucket filled with numismatic goodies for the Kids. Collectorama is open to the public from 10 A.M. to 6 P.M. on Friday and Saturday, and 10 A.M. to 4 P.M. on Sunday. There are free hourly door prizes and a Free Appraisal and Evaluation Clinic on Sunday from Noon to 2 P.M. Thursday's are dealer set-up and Special Bourse at Collectorama and invites all hobby dealers without tables or booths to come and do wholesale business from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Visiting dealers gain entry on Thursday with a $25.00 (minimum) donation to Florida Youth Villa. The host hotel for Collectorama is the Baymont Inn, which is just off of Interstate 4 at Exit 33 and offers a great rate of $64.00 per night, which is a super rate being right in the middle of prime tourist season. For room reservations call the Baymont at 863-815-0606. The Collectorama Show has moved back into the Exhibit Hall which is larger than Sikes Hall and still has some space remaining for new dealers.
