Pin traders

Does anyone know if the Pin traders still congregate outside the Mexican....if so are there specific days they are there? We are coming from England over the Christmas period & just debating whether or not to bring our pin collections?

I've seen them on Friday and Saturday evenings fairly regularly, but I'm too shy to approach them.

I didn't really notice them in November, but I wasn't looking for them either. My guess is that they are still there, but there is a chance that there might be fewer of them during the Holiday season because all but the top APs (Premium and Premier) and blocked started around the 19th/20th. I have no statistics to back me up, but I do think that a lot of the professional traders have Deluxe or SoCal APs.

Thats a very good point about block out dates, hadn't considered that. Don't want to drag my collection all the way there & then find out they aren't many there. We did some really good trading at Easter.

Yes ... they do. From my experience, Sundays (noon-ish) seem to have the most pin traders. We usually go on Saturdays and have had some decent luck.
