Does anyone know where Conder101 is? Dead end thread.

I still have the CD version of his book. I would like to share it with forum members, but not without his permission. If someone knows his whereabouts and he gives his blessing, I will post the files for all to access.

Cheers

He is banned from these forums but I believe he is active on Cointalk. I believe he has said before he does not want the whole book disseminated, but I may be wrong.

coinbuf · February 28, 2019 3:37PM

He still posts ATS, I asked my question about the generations book there a few days ago but got no response which is why I asked here now.

Aotearoa · February 28, 2019 3:41PM

He’s also active on CCF.

Try CoinTalk. I sent him a PM a few weeks ago and he responded within a day.

I still have a copy of the book. Still pull it out and read it from time to time.

Is that a reference that is normally for sale ?

I purchased it from him in 2003. I don't know if it is still available.

TomB · February 28, 2019 9:00PM

I believe the book and CD had a very limited print. I have a copy of both and obtained them in 2003.

Gluggo · February 28, 2019 9:19PM

I just bought a print cd but not the book from david schwagner a few months ago in 2019. Sorry I had the wrong author,

One of the banned members that should be allowed to come back in my opinion. He posts on the NGC forums still. I know a few of the more popular banned members were recently contacted to be reinstated here, I wonder if conder101 was reached out to?

Outhaul · March 1, 2019 2:06AM

If he is still actively selling the book, then this issue is dead. As nice as he is, I can't imagine him allowing someone to "share" his copyrighted works that he is still marketing.

Edit the title of the thread to "Bring back conder101" start a movement while you have everyone's attention

Outhaul · March 1, 2019 5:43AM

I don't know what transpired many years ago to provoke his "BANNED" status, but it surely must be water under the bridge by now.

His knowledge is encyclopedic and he was a considerable asset to the forums.

I would definitely support his return to the forum.... He is very knowledgeable and always provided valuable inputs. Cheers, RickO

I don’t know where that info came from, but I don’t believe he is selling the book. I recently saw someone offering to pay $200 for the book. As far as I can tell, the book is just as rare as some of the slabs that are discussed in it.

Now there is a book about sample slabs that David Schwager released recently (there are now two editions). That is available in print and CD.

TomB · March 1, 2019 9:26AM

If I recall correctly, which I may or may not, his parting from the PCGS boards was something like a mutual agreement.

That is what I had heard, also, that he did not want to come back.

I stand corrected it was david schwager cd I bought I was the one who said it and will update my post.

So, this thread is dead.Too bad.

The ANA library has a copy of Conder's book which can be borrowed if you are a member.
The book itself is out of print.

JBK · March 1, 2019 11:52AM

I remember when he talked about writing that book and then it finally came out. No rush to buy it, I thought.

Maybe he can start a Go Fund Me or a Kickstarter campaign to get the capital to do a new edition.

johnny9434 · March 1, 2019 11:58AM

what a bummer he got bammed. I hope he makes it back

BStrauss3 · March 1, 2019 2:26PM

Part of the problem with a 2nd edition is that he lost all the files in a computer accident. It makes a 2nd edition a daunting project.

Can't he just use the CD to recreate it? Or just burn a bunch of extra copies?

Catbert · March 1, 2019 3:43PM

Conder assisted me when I first began collecting Conder tokens. He was generous with his knowledge.

Does anyone know where Conder101 is? Dead end thread.
