30,000 post giveaway ROTO-ROOTER!!!

saintguru · September 21, 2006 11:02PM

Guess how many of the entrants are from the NGC board?

I have never seen at least 100 of the names that have entered! Looks like we have some "switch-hitters". Is that like letting a Commie in the State Department?

They think the PCGS Saint will go NGC66.

TEE HEE HEE WHO WILL WIN???????????

TEE HEE HEE

Barndog · September 21, 2006 11:04PM

all I know is the fees will be high when I sell it on ebay

Zane · September 21, 2006 11:18PM

I'm new, but not from NGC...

However, I think pretty much any pcgs 65 saint would go 66 at ngc. They seem to have a problem with overgrading gold IMO.

Hyperion · September 21, 2006 11:25PM

... there are so many alts and scammers in there ..

traveldave · September 21, 2006 11:26PM

I am kind of new here....I have lurked at both boards for a while but only registered here

IGWT · September 21, 2006 11:37PM

Thank goodness I infiltrated the organization before you posted your giveaway.

I intend to post a highly embarrassing photo of you, SG, unless I win the gold. Don't think of me as a Commie in the State Department. Think of me as an extortionist.

You REALLY have no idea who I am do you? Let's just say that I know a lot of fellows with interesting middle names.

Weed out all the losers and make sure the Saint gets a quality home.

dthigpen · September 21, 2006 11:54PM

Maybe they're just trying to increase the chance that the Saint would have gone to a charitable cause and stopped one of the heathens who would have kept it instead of feeding hundreds of starving children with it from winning.

I christen thee SaintThiggy.

notwilight · September 22, 2006 12:11AM

OK. I admit it. I created hundreds of fake ids hoping it is a 31. My dad was born in 31 so I decided to put together a birth year set for him...hmmm 1c 5c and 10c are easy enough. Ooops. they didn't make quarters, halves or dollars that year. The $5 indian ended a year or two earlier. They skipped that year for the $10 indian. The only other coins are the Saints and oh BTW, they chose to make them in two mints that year to I need TWO 6 figure coins....unless I win the lottery, it's going to be a pretty humble set.

Tonedbuff · September 22, 2006 12:22AM

Saint,
You can personally take credit for the single largest day of account creation in the history of collectors universe...

75% of which will drop off after the giveaway is announced

But, who knows, maybe a few will stick around and add to the general clamour of insanity.

As for me... I KNEW this was coming so infiltrated the ranks months ago with the goal of looking like a regular by the time you pulled the trigger...

What I did not count on was the fact that it takes about 10,000 posts (at least 5 of which have to be useful or witty, and I'm about 4 shy of that...) to be a regular.

I should have started even sooner...

saintguru · September 22, 2006 12:25AM

backgroud checks will be done...after all, Otis is the forum cop.

richardshipp · September 22, 2006 12:38AM

I'm still kind of thinking, you (Saintguru) don't really consider a penny a "coin".

Since my wife is still adjusting to me "talking on the computer"; and I happened to mention your give-away, she had one question....

Now why the hell would someone give a gold coin away for nothing?

My answer was....... "well he ain't no guru".

Thanks again for the chance.

Richard

richardshipp · September 22, 2006 12:55AM

Hmmm.... something about dying if you break the code of silence.......

IGWT · September 22, 2006 1:01AM

Il codice di silenzio e morta.

I'm just a simple coin collector now.

Edited to add: Hey, that's an untimely edit that you made.

Connecticoin · September 22, 2006 1:02AM

All this for a $5 AGE

Stingray · September 22, 2006 1:07AM

I hope I win, I never win

richardshipp · September 22, 2006 1:16AM

I demand a recount......

OH, sorry its not time yet

For those who don't speak Italian, you should know that SG just said that he sleeps with Joe Pesci.

STONE · September 22, 2006 2:01AM

Hey, SaintGuru the giveaway is a great gesture and it will go into a well kept and preserved collection if I won.

It won't ever be hitting Ebay...just Heritage LOL

It's the thought that counts and SG's giveaway is just an appreciation to all the other folks who help to make this a great site.

coinguy1 · September 22, 2006 2:04AM

<<However, I think pretty much any pcgs 65 saint would go 66 at ngc>>

That would be incorrect. If it were even close to true, there would be far fewer Saints in PCGS MS65 holders and far more MS66's in NGC holders

Lighten up shorty. Even your pestering post just got you entered. Go brush your scalp. There may be a photo of the winner.

Boosibri · June 7, 2014 4:35AM

How the hell did this get resurrected?

joeykoins · June 7, 2014 5:05AM

Congrats. on the 30,000! Putting it lightly, that is a LOT of posts, dude!

ricko · June 7, 2014 5:21AM

OK...I give up...what does this thread have to do with anything?? Cheers, RickO

Casman · June 7, 2014 5:52AM

That was 8 years ago, he's up to 34,000+ but posts very rarely now.

renman95 · June 7, 2014 6:38AM

Is Ms playing a funny seeing how many will pile on?

MsMorrisine · June 7, 2014 10:36AM

<< Is Ms playing a funny seeing how many will pile on? >>

Yeah.

I was going to write: I need an alt to be annoying by bumping old threads.

but I didn't.

perhaps other threads were bumped inadvertently, perhaps not.

It is annoying isn't it?

So:

I repent! I repent!

Broadstruck · June 7, 2014 10:44AM
