Dorkkarl will be proud of me...

Cracked my first slab yesterday. Picked up an ICG 47-D Walker in MS 64 to upgrade my raw short set. The guy was selling them at 25% below greysheet bid...paid $30

Two whacks with a hammer and a small twist of a screwdriver, and she is now in the Dansco.image

  • I was very surprised how easily it came apart.

    For the first time ever, I cracked a coin out of an ANACS holder today.

    My lord, I would have had an easier time trying to pull The Sword from the Stone.

    It was an epic battle-- in the end I triumphed.

    looks like you put the coin in upside down!
