Any know what this "AU" qualifier is about?

"AU" doesn't show up on PSA's list of qualifiers on their homepage. If it's for "authentic", isn't that already implied by giving it a "9"?

    Must be the "gold" version of that card. After all, AU is the atomic symbol for gold.

    was a mistake, AU is a coin term meaning "almost uncirculated" this was addressed lasr week I think. mechanical error.
    Good for you.

    Thanks for the info. Sorry that I missed the earlier post.

    Isn't "Almost Uncirculated" kinda like "a little bit pregnant" ?
  • WinPitcherWinPitcher Posts: 27,726 ✭✭✭
    Actually, Choice AU coins are Gems that have just the slightest bit of wear. Sorta like a true EX/MNT card.

    Many times a Choicer AU coin blows a MS60 coin out of the water.
    Good for you.

    Ah. I collected coins along with cards when I was young. All junk by today's grading standards. But I loved poring through the coin magazines. Very fond memories of re-reading those well-worn pages while listening to Airplane's "While Bathing at Baxter's."

    I have very fond memories while listening to "Baxter's" as well, but they had more to do with melting walls....

    I was too young to see melting walls, but trying to understand Grace Slick's stoned free-association in "Two Heads" made my 12-year-old brain melt. I was Almost Uncirculated, myself, at that stage.

    You want two heads on your body
    And you've got two mirrors in your hand
    Priests are made of brick with gold crosses on a stick
    And your nose is too small for this land
    Inside your head is your town
    Inside your room your jail
    Inside your mouth the elephants trunk and booze
    The only key to your bail

    Want two heads on your body
    And you've got two mirrors in your hand

    Two heads can be put together
    And you can fill both your feet with sand
    No one will know you've gutted your mind
    But what will you do with your bloody hands?
    Your lions are fighting with chairs
    Your arms are incredibly fat;
    Your women are tired of dying alive
    If you've had any women at that

    Wearing your comb like an axe in your head
    Listening for signs of life;
    Children are sucking on stone and lead
    And chasing their hoops with a knife;
    New breasts and jewels for the girl
    Keep them polished and shining;
    Put a lock on her belly at night, sweet life
    For no child of mine

    Want two heads on your body
    And you've got two mirrors in your hand


    Deja vu all over again. I happened to skip past Wheel of Fortune (?) last night; the game that's like hangman, with letters chosen and you have to figure out what the slogan is? Anyway, the moment I hit that channel, this guy was saying NO MAN IS AN ISLAND very slowly like on the record, and it was the correct answer. Without missing a beat, the slick host (don't know his name, I don't watch this stuff) grinned and said "I think you're more of a peninsula" and they smiled very knowingly at each other.

    Peace brother, the underground lives....we just look differently.
