One year ago today...

Russ

I became a coin collector. Well, actually, one year ago today I joined the forums; not really a collector yet. Really more like a student with over 9500 teachers.

So, thanks for all the tutorials, research material, answers and free education I've gotten over the last 12 months!

Russ, NCNE

Russ;

Glad you're here, Russ. You have been tremendously helpful to me, and generous with your time. Whether it was photographing coins for me, or helping me with technical questions about eBay or the forum. You are not one of those who I get the impression will collect for a few years and then lose interest. Sorry, I think you're a lifer.

May the next year, and coming years treat you well!

If more novices applied themselves like you have done, there would be a lot fewer sad stories out there. Hard to believe it's already been a year since I did a double-take at seeing "Russ, NCNE" here.

Just think, a whole year without anyone flami-- oops, well, you almost made it.

Russ,
Always happy to see new collectors, amd more so, new collectors with passion. Now we just have to get you hooked on Frankies with the same passion, so we have someone to sell our collections too. Hell, nobody else will buy them.

Oh yeah, I forgot. I had a con call with Steve Balmer of Microsoft earlier today. I have arranged for Russ to receive the "much coveted" MCSE!!! Now he can replace the NCNE!

Congrats Russ

You`ve made some of the best coin photos I`ve seen. Quite a nack you got there.

Hey Russ,

Dont know you too well since I just joined the forum but you seem like a passionate guy about coins. We all need more of you out there.

V.r,

Russ is a class act. I know that I've learned a good deal from him...

Yes, I remember my first PM with little Russ. He wanted to know what an accented hair was, would '64 Kennedys be a good place to start his collecting and why would anyone post more than 9,000 times in a year. I consider him, and many others, a good friend even though we've only talked in cyberspace. I'll count on his knowledge even more in the second year.

Your a cool banana Russ. Just stay away from those toned Morgans & Kennedys and I will stay away from the AH's. HA.

Why buy a bald,old, fat man when he is going to become one?

Congrats! I remember when you weren't too far ahead of me in the number of posts.

baccaruda

i remember when i sent him an excel spreadsheet back in the day and he had like 121 posts (2 days worth). like a week later we were talking in a thread and i noticed he had like 500+.

Russ was already one of the old timers when I joined on April 19th. He's one
of the many who make the forum worth coming back to.

LucyBop

ok, allright, for a kennedy head, he's a hepcat!

<< <i>Well, results are in, and I suck. (Heh, Heh) Good learning experience, though. I added the actual grades next to each of my guesses. >>



You have achieved in one year what most collectors of 10 years have yet to comprehend!

Congrats!!

Russ

I was kind of hoping the database ate those old threads. There's a couple more submission results where I sucked even worse!
