2009 Western States Token Society show and auction.
The Western States Token Society annual jamboree will be held March
6-7-8, 2009 at the Red Lion Hotel in Sacramento, California. A fully illustrated listing of the benefit token auction as well as all the show details may be found at www.exonumia.homestead.com. For many of you, Token Jamboree could be a pre-ANA show as the ANA World's Fair of Money will be in Portland, OR the following week. Reasonable flights can be found between Sacramento and Portland for those flying into the show. Limited bourse space is still available. |

I wonder how long it before it will be routine for those of us in all parts of the country to "attend" and participate in shows like this at our computers. Maybe one day soon a collector at home in Milwaukee will be able to browse the dealer display cases in Sacramento and interact with any dealer in real time, asking the dealer for a closeup of a particular item and dickering over a price. I suspect one could do this already on a pre-arranged basis with a dealer, both using a cell phone camera or other device. |

If you have a carefully-selected cadre of reliable eBay sellers, you can experience that online right now. Several dealers that I have come to know and trust send me periodic emails with their monthly offerings. Sometimes they already have pictures of their better items available on click, other times they will custom-photograph if asked. I don't imagine coin shows will ever cease to exist within our lifetimes, but they will have to change bigtime to survive. James the Futurist |

James the Futurist Yeah, I guess if my vision ever comes to pass, there would be no real need for dealers to travel and congregate at one show location. Some kind of scheduled computerized conference call-type setup could be arranged where participating "show dealers" would be electronically linked as a group. The group could be accessible online via password connection and the dealers could interact with each other and with "virtual attendees" at home. Think of all the show-related hassles it would eliminate for dealers. The way technology is progressing, the commercial hardware to support such an arrangement will probably be commonplace by the time I finish this beer. It may be possible already. Burp. All we will need are a few clever people to pioneer the concept. |

Before that can be realized, computers will have to be equipped with tiny canisters of testosterone concentrate, which can then be set to automatically spritz at the sight of certain coins, and detected by all the participants online at the moment. Otherwise, there'll still be no substitute for that first day of a show where all the biggie dealers strut their stuff and brag about what they have. Coins, I mean. James |

James I don't know about automatic spritzing. I'd like to be able to control my spritz, maybe sandbag a bit now and then. Don't let 'em see you sweat. I can just picture that virtual coin show now. Like a Google Earth deal with a composite or mosaic view of dealer showcases. Roll that mouse wheel to zoom in on those CWT's or the slabbed PR68 1964 quarters. You spot something that you want to see more of, so you right-click and select the dealer contact button. You use the voice activation feature on your computer to request a detailed image and a verbal description. You like the coin, agree on a price, and switch to mutual secure mode to arrange for payment and shipping. Boy, I won't be able to get to sleep right away tonight. |
