That Ruth is a stunner. The red looks wet! Great Ryan and golfing MJ too!
Here is my humble heritage pick up. Key low pop auto I needed for my signed MJ run. This early run has been tough with how low all the pops are.
It’s counterpart has yet to arrive in hand so will count as a March pick up I guess
And this guy just for fun. Probably my favorite baseball card ever with a nice big auto. A steal at $83.

Child Protective Services and the like.Started collecting coins around 1998.
Cps often in my eyes get a bad wrap and you and many others like you have done alot of good for kids and families...
I know unfortunately cps was involved in my childhood very often until I was 16 but they did alot of good for my life...
So thank you!
Re: Russ Stringham "Russ" Has passed away.
We all got a lot of laughs and an education from this guy. We all saw how to be a class act dealing with no so class act posters. When you saw a post from him, you stopped and read it as it was always worth your time. Generous every day with his knowledge. Simply put folks, when I signed on this forum, he was already here and obviously had respect from this community. Which is why the tone, expression and deep loss expressed is no surprise to me. All I can add is thanks Russ for being a part of my collecting years.

Re: Tip of the day - Protect your slabs cheaply
I use PCGS’ new Ultra-Slab service where they actually seal my slabbed coin inside an even bigger slab...! 😜

A couple of errors you don't see often, if ever.
A clad Dime and Quarter planchet with a rim burr.

Re: The forum needs a little humor.
St. Peter was sitting at his desk, about 1,000 feet from the Pearly Gates, when he sees a guy appear near the gate.
So St. Peter gets up, and jogs over to the Pearly Gates to let him in and start processing him.
As soon as St. Peter gets within 5 feet of the Gates, the guy vanishes.
So St. Peter goes back to his desk. He sits back down, and then sees the guy back at the Gate.
He runs back to the Gate, when the guy vanishes again.
This happens 2 more times, and finally St. Peter yells at the guy, "Keep this up, and I'll ban you from Heaven!"
The guy calls back, "Tell that to these guys with the defibrillators!"

Many in EMS have gone away from intubating focusing instead on BMV and supraglottic airways (King, LMA).
Paramedic with 25 years in the only career EMS Agency in two adjoining counties. About 9,000 calls a year. Although we carry Kings, Salts & Combitubes, ET still the 1st airway of choice until our Medical Director shut it down due to Covid. BVM only with Hepa filters in place. No aerosol t/x's. Unfortunately a large heroin / Fentanyl problem here. We're still getting the job done, just have to improvise sometimes. STAY SAFE !!!!!
