Great Collection Question

@ianrussell
Am I doing something wrong? Out of 20 auctions only 3 now show Phil's photos. Is there a tab to hit, that I'm missing?

    Ian contacted me and informed me that not all coins are true viewed by Phil. Just selective coins and no details coins. My bad. I did not know this.

    I have not counted how many auction lots they have a week, but it seems like a lot. Could you imagine taking 200-300 images every day, and processing them into the GreatPhotos template.

    Doesn't PCGS do far more than that daily? And NGC?

    I guess I do not know how many are on their teams - I was just thinking of 1 person doing it

    I’ve sold some very common moderns just to find a home for them. Some netted out to a negative amount after deducting fees. Next time I do it, I’ll ask for them to be grouped. No worries, I like to clean house occasionally. I don’t expect coins of low value to be photographed by the man.

    They do a good job at picking the coins that should have the extra images.

    It’s all about marketing, and coaxing bidders to engage. I’m guessing some coins look worse in glamour shots!
