Long Beach Expo Pauses Shows
The Long Beach Expo has announced that it will pause its June and September shows for 2025. It will focus all efforts on its upcoming show on February 20-22. The decision comes as a result of rising costs associated with hosting the events. The organizers say that “this adjustment allows us to better support our community and realign with our parent company, PCGS [Professional Coin Grading Service], and its core mission: providing industry-leading grading and authentication services that advance the hobby we all love.”
The Long Beach Expo has been a gathering place for the collectibles community for more than 60 years, and the convention team values the people who make the event so special. “We are fortunate to have such a vibrant and loyal community, and we are excited about the opportunity to reassess how we can best serve you. We want to thank our dedicated community of dealers, vendors, sponsors, attendees, and friends who make this show such an amazing event. We also want to extend our gratitude to our long-standing official auctioneer of the Long Beach Expo—Heritage Auctions. Your world-renowned auctions are a staple of the numismatic auction calendar and we are fortunate to be able to host both your live auctions and lot viewings over the years.”
The February event will be held at the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center in California. For more details, visit the Long Beach Expo website.
