Isn't that considered "Murphy's Law"? I hate it when that happens.

It annoys me, that a few of our most prolific posters won't/don't take the time to learn basic photography and share their collection with the rest of us. They seem to have mastered the art of criticism and critique quite well, all while hiding behind a keyboard.

Bolivarshagnasty hit the nail on the head about you and me. We've not taken the time to learn to photo our coins so that we can share them with all here. I'd like to see your non-toned ("tarnished") coins. Maybe someone here could show you the money to sell some of your duplicates! BTW, I do like your sharing in this forum.
I called around 6/24 about my Regular submission entered on 5/5, was told it was in finalization and could be done any day now. Great!
Nothing, nada...
Called on 7/1, earlier in the day, was told my submission is being finalized and might even be done today...but no guarantees...but for 100% sure in the next couple days.

I haven't even begun to think about my 6/20 order, as that might not be ready until close to Labor Day (at this rate)...
It is Whiny Wednesday 7/13, I'm hoping the grading gods bless me with my grades on the 5/5 Regular submission, which have supposedly been in finalization since 3rd week of June...
There are too many collectors addicted to one brand of plastic.
Would that really be an addiction (or problem) considering that one of the major TPG holders is:
1. Easier to sell than all the others
2. Easier to price and value
3. Easier to get more money for it
4. Probably a tad easier to get a sticker assigned
5. Some dealers stock and sell only this particular TPG brand....no one else does that for the other TPG's.
Rather than an addiction, it sounds like sound reasoning and good market analysis.
Now stick in the word "harder" for "easier" above for all the other TPG's.
I live in New England and I feel like we are ignored bythe MAJOR coin show circuit.
There was a hot bed of activity in the New England region in the 1970's and 1980's. Bay State shows in 1974-1976 were rockin. And it didn't hurt that a group of very strong dealers in the NE region helped to support it. Jim Halperin out of NERCG in Framingham was a major force up until 1983. Bay State was still a big force even up to 1990. And even then slabs were still a small part of the market. Then things slowly died during the lull of 1990-2002. The Bay State show was a MAJOR show right up through the 1980's. Blame the dealers, the region, the collectors, internet, slabbing, etc....the answer is there somewhere. New York City was a much hotter region for shows up until the 1980's as well. It's nowhere near what it used to be, having been replaced by Baltimore as the east coast center. Stacks' power out of the northeast was replaced by Heritage in Dallas and PCGS/NGC in CA/FL. Even ANR couldn't make it last up in New Hampshire and they left the region in the past 10 years.
I'd love to attend some big northeast/New England shows. It doesn't look like it's ever going to be in the cards. There are probably only half to 1/3 of the dealers today than there were 30-40 years ago. Unless you're on the major show circuit, most dealers and collectors seem to get by with Long Beach (2-3 shows), FUN, summer ANA, Central States, and Baltimore (2-3 shows) during the year. Nearly a dozen major shows spread out throughout the year.
My whine is for dealers at coin shows that tell me there are no circulated commemoratives because they weren't ment to circulate when I as if they have any.
Thanks pmac..... I just have too much to do and too little interest in photography and the obvious effort it takes to get great pictures (and the inevitable and endless criticism if they are not great). As for duplicates... I have a few, but never sell any coins. And I do not whine... however, I do WINE..... Cheers, RickO

I prefer red whine, though.
Good Luck and I will keep my fingers crossed for you and hope my order moves up a notch once they finish yours!
