If you win, you only get a 20 cent cert saying you were number one in this case 2004, if you tie, you still get the same cert, and what I hear the top 5 sets this year get the same cert.
In other words it's an ego thing, good luck.... (lots of snipers out there this year)
Big E, What you are supposed to do if the marketing stategy is correct for PCGS, is go and buy another coin so the #1 spot is your's. Then the next guy on the list will do the same thing and prices will move because it only take two people to make a market. I know from experience. So how do you keep this from happening? Collect something no one else wants or can stand. Dick BTW, congratulations on the #1 position.
Yeah, and you tricked me, that Booker T. has the toning of a high grade Carver, and your right, since this thread is about Booker T's no one will even bother to read it so I don't feel embarassed at all, yet--------BigE
I am reading it... with great interest. BTWs and WCs... I wish I could bring up the quotes from past posts acknowledging their upside... ps. I am so glad that we have reached a point in time that a coin with a man of color on it, has received the attention it deserves. BTW and WC were incredible people. Just imagine how hard it was to get ANY consideration "at the time". I appreciate the open minds of the new collectors! This set has nothing but potential.
RegistryCoin, you don't have a old junky 67 Booker T laying around in the kitchen or garage that I could drive over and pick up so that I won't be tied anymore do you--------------BigE
Sorry, I hate to repeat myself, but any coins I have are always available through: guess... www.wondercoin.com. For those of you who are old enough to remember the old (Western?) airline ad: "It's the only way to fly."
oh, Bear... Hey, I was thinking, (...not a first) if I could get a little credit for "doing" the BTWs and WCs, I could probably score a couple of jelly D's from Clank and E... We can split 'em. Recipe: You take a couple of free JDs, then buy a bakers dozen of glazed holes, squirt the jelly from the JDs on the holes... and eat 'em. Even with paw prints, I'll take the leftover squeezed out ones. They're the best.

<< <i>I thought they were something nobody wanted when I started collecting Booker T's, now look what has happened >>
It's because of you, BigE. You've made them acceptable.
<< <i>that Carver icon jacking up the prices >>
That Carver icon?????? BigE, that's a Booker reverse. C'mon, you're the champ of that set.
BTWs and WCs...

They will jack up the prices by 50% and sell into the boomlet.
With the money they make they will go out to a good deli for a
corned beef sandwich.
