My brilliant idea was to go heavily into Fivaz Stanton varieties, what few pcgs ones there are, since volume two was due out. The flaw in my plan was that the delay meant few transactions once interest was rekindled in these, thus no movement since I bought them. Of course, after FUN, if they do update the price guide, I'm gonna be in like Flint.

I stuck with what I knew 90% of the time.
I scoured the auctions as SOON as they were posted and looked for coins that I knew would sell for up money.
When you know a series or two inside and out, you have your edge...plus you have to HAVE the market going in your favor. I made most in Saints, then $10/$5 Indians.
recently it was a bunch of stuff I didn't know but just snatched when it sold for better that sheet prices.
I did pretty good on my VF 1794 dollars. Other rare stuff didn't do so well, but I didn't actually put any effort into it. I then sold everything and bought "bullion" $20 lib's when gold was at its lowest and made some modest profit on them. All the way up to #76, baby.
