Attending this show is quite an experience. You'll have a good time; we guarantee it. There is a great little bar/restaurant at the Expo in addition to the usual concessions fare, so food and beverage is available. Parking at the Expo Center is $8 ($7 for three person carpools). Or you can ride the MAX Yellow Line right into the parking lot.
Lastly, if you have something that you would like our expert appraisers to take a look at, they'll be there during all show hours (Hall E, Row I, Booths 16 & 17). For $7 per object, they will provide information and a verbal market evaluation. All proceeds go to the Portland Police Sunshine Division.
