# 1-The Howe collection just keeps on adding as is necessary to keep his stranglehold on the #1 position
A new #3 comes on board to rival Baxi and Friend for the #2 spot. Saw the 1894, I believe Howe bought out of the Heritage sale, I thought it was overgraded. Wonder when Friend is going to complete, looks like he is the smartest of all, selling his extras to #3. What now GS???

You guys keep it up, your making my 64+ set increase in value-All better watch out for Jack the Knife!!!! image

    I can't compete with the big 4: Carnton, Howe, Friend, Baxi. But, I will look to upgrade a few specific dates and pieces.

    GS-Let the "Big Four" go head to head, it only makes our "hobby" more fun and rewarding-hopefully financially as well. However I don't think Phil aka "Baxi", really cares to be #1. He told me at FUN he was just buying the best coin for the right price, hence a few of the extras he sold me. I hear Friend's set is to die for!!!!image

    Rex,

    BAXI is Bill R., not Phil. I think you met him at ANA Pittsburgh. And he has one heck of a collection. I got to view it at the same ANA you met him. There is very little difference in our sets, but for the 7 67's and 1 68 I have in NGC holders that are not on the Registry.

    I wlll let the top 3 butt heads, as I am through buying, maybe a few regrades and crosses. It has been a great run, since 1995 when
    I got lucky enough to buy the 1885 in 67. And the duplicates are almost gone.

    So, you guys have fun.

    Rex,

    I still want to cross the 1888 in NGC 66, 1889 in 67, 1890 in 67, 1894 in 67, 1895 in 66, 1902 in 68 and 1904 in 67. I will probably go to auction after that.

    I'm only about half way through the early bust halves (all Redbook varieties) and want to complete my 1864 proof set, including gold. So, I still have plenty to do.
