How low do metals need to go before this place is as active as the stamp forum?

    There will always be people buying/selling PMs, I'm not so sure about stamps. From what I understand, the stamp community (Or a "Philatelist") went south with modern printers. With the advancements and ease to obtain different stock (Paper) and printers, there were too many fakes abound.

    I'm not a Philatelist, but I have owned a few stamps in my days.

    This place was here a long time without a pm forum. Pretty sure people bought pm's back then.

    I think things will heat up more if it dips real low image

    If PM's collapse to $700-$800, I promise you the Coin Forum will be cut in half as many of the Boys will be over here bragging how they 'backed up the Truck' during this Uber-Manipulation ;>

    Think about it, West Texas Intermediate GOES UP in price with the Dollar this week, but Gold and Silver loose 6% to 7% this week?? LOL

    Stamps are Paper, even worse than Paper Money.

    + most stamps were licked! image

    If gold dips below $300 an ounce we could slow up a bit.

    When the majority of die hard PM forum members mutilate their hands beyond any medical help trying to catch the "falling knife PM knife." And when the rest throw away their crystal balls, this forum will just be a memoryimage

    Good grief, I'm having a nightmare, or is it a premonition?

    If that happens I might end up buying some collectors gold without the huge premium.

    Does PCGS / Collectors Universe or a sister company grade & slab stamps?

    If so can someone post a photo? I would guess they would be in a holder like paper money image

    As small as a stamp is I am wondering how big the holder is?

    Thanks, GrandAm image

    P.S. I would ask this on the stamp forum but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    CLCT sold their stamp division a couple of years ago for 3 bottle caps, 2 paper clips, and a stapler. They did about 3K stamp certs/quarter.
    FYI- they sold their currency division about 4 years ago for a few hundred K

    Dising on stamps again. Just because CU stamp message board flopped.

    Search for other stamp boards. You may find that there is a stamp board out there more active then the
    PCGS coin board.

    And I think they were dising on coins.

    Just saying.

    Pretty soon when you apply for a business license or open a bank account, one of the qualifying questions will be,

    "have you ever posted on an internet blog regarding gold or silver?

    And you think I'm joking?

    Ha! And to think that I've been accused saying that things are getting bad, and of worrying about things that I can't control..............

    Can't you control your answer to a question ?
