I have never seen one of these and wonder why not put your show purchases in a briefcase? Anyone ever use one of these?

I don't understand your title --- nothing about "briefcases" in your link.

But if you're talking about actual briefcases, then yes, I've seen many collectors carrying them at stamp shows.

I think he is asking the question, 'why not simply use a briefcase' instead of the belt thing in the link.

I use a backpack and a large plastic container to protect the stamps. It's very easy lose a briefcase.

I use a rubbermaid portable file (hard plastic case with handle) at stamp shows. Tongs, loupe, and black light can be carried easily with plenty of room for purchases.

I'd think stamps would be safer in a hard briefcase than in this thing dangling from a belt.

I always used to carry a briefcase to shows. I could carry an album, and a book or two, along with the supplies I might need.

I will say, I recall one notable theft, where a collector, I believe had his briefcase taken from him in front of the Javits center in NYC. So, it is true, that they can be a target.
