Welcome to the LONG BEACH EXPO
Welcome to the Long Beach Expo, the oldest collectibles show on the West Coast! We are so glad you’re here celebrating collectibles with us at this time-honored Southern California tradition. The Long Beach Expo has been greeting thousands of collectors of all kinds since 1964, and this convention promises to be one of our largest yet.
We have hundreds of dealers offering coins, banknotes, sports cards and memorabilia, Funko Pops!, and so much more. Everyone is sure to find something they will enjoy, whether you’re just starting off your collectibles journey or are a seasoned hobbyist looking to expand on your collection.
In addition to the hundreds of dealers buying, selling, and trading virtually every kind of collectible, we are excited to host the Magnificent Gilded Age 1880 Proof Set with Gold. This exquisite 16-coin set of exceptional proof coinage is the All-Time Finest and #1 Current Finest such set on the PCGS Set Registry, spanning from the classic Indian Cent to the beautiful Liberty Head Double Eagle and featuring the exceedingly rare 1880 Coiled Hair and Flowing Hair $4 Stellas. This PCGS Set Registry exhibit, showcasing a collection insured for some $10 million, is on display by Tangible Investments, Inc.
Looking to add some rare treasures to your own collection? Be sure to view some of the incredible items up for bids in the Heritage Auctions Long Beach Expo US Coins Signature Auction, which takes place September 13-17, 2023. Public lot viewing will be held in the Seaside Ballroom Tuesday and Wednesday and then move to the bourse floor Booth 429, with Heritage Auctions representatives onsite to assist you.
Have questions about your coins, banknotes, and sports memorabilia? You’ve come to the right place then! Our Meet the Expert sessions with coin authority Steve Feltner, banknote specialist Philip Thomas, and Memory Lane sports maestro Dan Wulkan provide you with an amazing opportunity to speak one-on-one with the foremost collectibles experts and have your collectibles professionally appraised.
Get your collectibles encapsulated while you’re at the Long Beach Expo (and save on shipping and processing time!) by submitting them for onsite grading. Professional Coin Grading is accepting submissions of coins, banknotes, and more at Booth 403 – visit the Submission Lounge at Booth 401 for a submission form. Professional Sports Authenticator is providing onsite card grading and autograph authentication at Booth 1059.
Coming along with the family? You’ll be glad to know our popular Kids’ Treasure Hunt is here once again, with fun trivia and free prizes for young landlubbers. Stop by the Information Booth for more details on this wonderful activity that may just lead to a fun photo opportunity with a pirate or two. Don’t worry – we’ve got great giveaways for adults, too! We have drawings every day for valuable coins, banknotes, and sports memorabilia – just make sure you’re present to claim your prize at 2:00 p.m. daily!
All in all, we want you to have a memorable time at the Long Beach Expo and hope your experience here enriches your collecting adventure. As always, please feel welcome to say hello and introduce yourself to us. We are glad to have you here and value any feedback you wish to offer. So, please share your thoughts, let us know what you think about the Long Beach Expo, and chime in on what you hope to see here in the future.
