Someone please send me one image
(that way, I can be the cool kid at the local show, and others can spot me and know who it is.....FREE advertising image )


Hmmm...PNNA show coming up, no CRO, and I need to figure out what to wear to be conspicuous.....I could ask RYK for something Stealers-like, but I don't want my Seahawks brethren to beat the crap out of me by mistake.....

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Cool collectors ALWAYS wear a CRO cap to coin shows. Had you not taken a shot at the STEELERS, I would have sent you one of mine.

    When I bought my coin, there were no hats image
    Then, when I went for a different one, I was too late (saw the "you didn't get this one in time and we sold it already, fool!" label on the website. image

    Not sure if I will ever have a hat from them. I'm not rich enough and don't have a job right now. I got re-structured out of my job of 3 years. image

    Among us engineering types, CRO is an antiquated piece of test equipment (cathode ray oscilloscope). But the coin nerd
    in me says they're cool.

    I have always supported their goods but cannot afford to buy from them, so unfortunately "no hat for me"
    and like the soup I cannot come back in one year image

    sorry ron if I had one I wouldve helped, but now I even feel at a loss.

    such is life

    That was meant to be per transaction.

    If you buy something in January, for example, and something else in March, you would be entitled to one each time, which is how MLC amassed a collection of 4.

    Steeler fans have long memories, don't they?

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    My transaction was via email and I didn't know at the time that a hat was available with a coin purchase. When we talk about life experiences, me not getting a hat, rates pretty low as a "moment to remember".

    I got a super coin so I'll be able to continue on. image

    I guess if you still need a CRO hat by next weekend then you should make a nice expensive purchase on Monday morning and convince CRO to ship the coin and hat out to you very quickly. image

    CRO overnights most coin shipments. You could order a coin on Thursday, and, in many instances, have coin and hat in hand by the weekend.

    So a good dealer tries to have a little fun and do something nice for their customers, and they get criticized publicly and have to defend themselves.

    It's just a hat!

    (RYK knows I like to rib him on the black and blue...errr....gold)

    (note: this thread wasn't made to get people up in arms with CRO...just meant to be good natured and a way to get recognized at the PNNA show and tease a few coin folks at the same time....folks I know have the hats (from previous posts they have done) like RYK and others. It all is what it is and a hat doesn't make or break things; just meant to be fun )

    We should do a "Flat Stanley"-like project, with forum members showing photos of themselves wearing the hats in various places. Of course, Bochiman, who is still at home complaining about calls in the Super Bowl five years ago, will not be able to participate. imageimage

    Yes, I think CRO should send a hat to customers who have purchased previously from them.image

    I give away money. I collect money.

    Is the hat used as additional protection (another layer) around the coins
    Or is it separate?

    In addition to different colors, there is a design difference between Year 1 and Year 2 hats (unless my Year 1 is the rare "CRO"-less error hat).

    That's a good point, and I was considering buying a coin and having the hat shipped to Ron just to mollify him. I was also thinking of having a replica Lombardi trophy crafted for Super Bowl XL, listing the Seahawks as the winners. Alas, neither is going to happen. image
