The Yosemite's so far are not as tough as the Yellowstone's in PL from what we've seen. However DPL is another story. We sold a 68DPL Yosemite recently for the BIN price of $2499. Hope this info helps.

Correct assumption by PinkFloyd. I think the PL/DPL aspect is more random with regard to source. Oh yes, and thanks for reminding me to bump the WTB BST!

When you guys are selling the unopened boxes (like A-Mark), how are you boxing/sending them to be safe, but economical? Do they fit in the USPS flat rate (large) boxes? I think they are just a bit too big, right?
Looking at USPS, I know I must be missing something that could make it easier.

The A-mark boxes fit perfectly in the medium size flat rate box. I used signature confirmation. I think it was like $12 total

(that was my listing) I've seen about 2 dozen sets so far and every single Yosemite had some degree of a mark on the cheek, including the three MS69s I've seen. I think they do make these tougher to grade 69, but obviously not impossible.
On HSN over the weekend they apparently claimed to have found 1 MS70 set that they may sell this week for $30,000 on the show. Lets hope the power goes out.

how will this affect grading can it still get a pl or dpl can it get a 69 ???? anyone know >>
The consensus is these are not spots and they are not marks, it is an area where some unfinishing in die preperation occurred and/or a striking anomaly and the severity varies.

My MTB coins are out for delivery today via UPS. Had to call MTB again today and speak with Mr Phillips to get confirmation & tracking info. Absolutely no communications from them after they cashed my check.
