Is It Always This Rough Here?

This post is garbage. Have you been paying attention? We don't want spam which includes ebay and Teletrade ads here.
I am interested in buying a 70DCAM Jeff. Imagine how interested I was when I saw your thread headline. When I pulled it up, you weren't offering any 70DCAMs to us at a price. Just an ebay spam ad. And, even your ebay auctions don't have a BIN price.
Either make real offers here or get this stuff off and put it on B/S/T.

Dummy me, all this time I have interpreted the Forum Statement literally.
“For discussions about PCGS registry sets - building them, buying them, selling them, collecting them.”
For the purpose of credibility: I have built, coin by coin, four (4) Number-1 Finest Known PCGS registry sets. This represents 204-coins, most-all were finest known, and an impressive percentage being POP 3 or lower. The point is: For collectors to realize hard but realistic goals we must aggressively seek to acquire that which is RARE.
A run of finest known coins, not seen in the market place for 3-years, worthy of any Finest Known Registry Set is---BIG NEWS. I would want to know about it and anyone taking dead aim at a Number-1 Registry Set would, or at least should, want to know. What better place to inform registry set collectors of a rare offering of Registry Set coins than a registry set forum? I thought this was a no-brainer.
Typetone, your depiction of my post as “Garbage” and “Spam”, in fact, your entire tone is adversarial and bellicose. I make no apology for my post to this board. If you are truly offended by my post, so be it. I wish to please all of the nice folks who e-mailed notes of thanks for the information and for the offerings.
If I understand you correctly: offering coins for sale, for a fixed price, exclusively to members of this board, is cool. Offering information about where these same coins are listed for sale, is spam. I can just imagine your disgust when you saw (8) low POP Proof 70 DCAMS all in one place with no reserve and the highest bid was $70.00 ... What a rip-off!
You seem to be implying that my offerings are not “Real”. One of the most popular coin exchange venues for buyers and sellers is the online auction. These coins are on the auction block and when the auctions end, all of the coins will be sold. It doesn’t get any more “Real” than that! ALL sixteen coins, at the time of posting, had a Buy It Now price, opening bid was $2.00, and No Reserves. Perhaps you are unaware that the Buy It Now feature on eBay is only available prior to an item receiving a bid. Once a bid is placed the Buy It Now feature is automatically turned off. When you looked, all of the items had bids.
Who exactly is “We”? Do you have a mouse in your pocket or do you presume to speak for the other members of this board? It occurs to me that I am no less a member of this board than you. You are certainly entitled to your opinion but that’s just what it is, your opinion. I have a different opinion. I think you could have made your point without slamming me on my informative thread.

Thanks,

Back when the registry was in its infancy, Steve was, as Mitch stated, a pioneer, email and telephoning, BJ, or her predecessor, ("Matt" is the name I remember, but there was one or two ousted, at least, before she handly took over) to "design" the registry. A hearty thanks to Steve is in order.
ps. His reg-set coins are superior, as far as I know.
A dealer just posted the pop 2/0 1952(p) Jefferson nickel in PCGS-MS66FS on his site at $8,500!!! Even if it sells for somewhat less, my question is: Does anyone remember 12/24/97? Steve P. do you??? Come on!!
OK. I'll refresh your memory. That is the day the pop 1/0 1952(p) nickel in PCGS-MS66FS realized a WHOPPING $190 plus buyers fee on Teletrade!!!
What would have been the five year return on that Teletrade purchase even though the coin became pop 2!!!
Steve H.: Remember just a couple years ago when we could buy coins just like that pop 2/0 Jefferson for a couple hundred dollars!! It just seemed like yesterday! Wondercoin
Joe Z and I went partners on some 1954-S rolls. At that time (probably 1998) PCGS had not graded a 54-S in Full Steps. I got lucky and found two coins that were FS. Both came back from PCGS slabbed MS64-FS, POP 2/0 ... One went into my registry set and the other went to Joe Z.
Joe decided to sell his on eBay. I don’t recall the exact high bid (Tim Schmitz may know) but it was under $500.00. The POP 2/0 held up for about 3-years! In July of 2001, the same coin (MS64-FS was still a POP 2) sold on TeleTrade for $3,500.00. Cruelly, I called Joe and told him about it. Destroyed his mind.
Then wondercoin popped a 54-S in MS65-FS. I get a headache just thinking about how much that one sold for. After looking at no less than 8,000 1954-S Jefferson’s I would have bet the farm that none would ever grade higher. The next thing I know, 1954-S Jefferson MS67-FS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Destroyed my mind.
Just kidding Mitch
But seriously, where is FF now that I need him?
I miss FF too.

Do you know where it lives?
Golfpkg: It is in a wonderful home, where I suspect it will remain for decades to come (barring the unexpected).
