Re: unusual tooling on '54-S Jeff Updated 9-14 w/photo

All are absolutely entitled to their opinions, but I am finding it pretty funny that some persist in the tooling argument even when CapnHenwy has provided such an elegant explanation!

Re: Lots of vintage woefully under priced

How have cards of Tatis Jr and Wander Franco worked out? How about Trout and some of those 6 fig sales?

Still peeps mostly be wanting new young playas. Even if they become the next Trout - so what. The only exception may be Ohtani and for him only time and market will tell...

This place has changed. All the "liveliness" has been siphoned off due to the purges that took place.

Don't get me wrong. Things reached a crescendo around here and PCGS figured that they had to move in to stop it.

It's really too bad that it happened to some of the most knowledgeable (and controversial) people.

Yes, it stinks to lose many extremely knowledgeable posters. At the same time, many of them can be found on other forums.

Those other forums, in my opinion, are extremely unpleasant specifically because of the posting styles and habits of those exact posters. Personally, it's not worth wading through 20 posts of utter BS to reach 1 interesting numismatist nugget. YMMV.

That's way too cheap but how they operate; they'd be selling it for a lot more.

Crude and gas prices at the pump are down because economic activity is decreasing. I know everyone wants cheap gas but it comes at a cost.

And we have a good gauge of how the economy is doing, GDP, which is trending negative for Q1. If that trend continues the US will be in a recession by mid summer.

GDP is a good measure, lowering costs are too. as long as energy keeps falling, I think that benefits every sector. Including cards.
