    Yes, it has that feel doesn’t it?

    The problem is that individual conscious feelings do not equate well with sentiment that controls markets and is the emergent property of the mass of all buyers and seller both conscious and unconscious. That is a basis of Elliott Wave analysis of markets. Feelings are highly specific to individuals and vary substantially. Markets usually deflate when least expected.

    Thank you. Wouldn’t be the first time my gut was wrong. I suck at designing marketing materials and ads for example. Put too much emphasis on my own opinion/taste.

    I agree with you, I use expensive EWT analysis to trade stocks and options and it feels wrong but works remarkably well for 10-20K a year cost. I feel like its late 1999/early 2000 in the market but must ignore those thoughts and follow the charts. Keeps me humble (but making money).

    Hard to admit it, for me anyway, but luck plays a large role. I prefer to think I’m a genius.

    When providing shelter and sustenance for yourself and family rises above collecting inserts and slabs.

    Probably, actually this was not that much. In March of 25 a common date WLH sold for over 14K, and in July of 24 a common 38-D Buffalo nickel went for almost 12K.

    Since we're on the topic of high valued vintage coin slabs, which slab type is considered to be the most valuable? I'm guessing it's the first-generation black NGC slab. What is the current value of this slab? It's been a while since I've seen one for sale.

    NGC black holders have sold for more in the past, seems like the last one I saw went for closer to 20K, but I did not confirm that so I may not be remembering correctly.

    Would a blah looking circulated Lincoln from the 1920’s in a white label sell for crazy money?

    Yes, but I would be very surprised if one existed, have you seen one?

    Second serious question: has anyone given any thought to grading the condition of holders? Opportunity knocks.

    It’s certainly an interesting idea. Personally all my holders are near perfect. I hate scratches and smudges on my holders. Sometimes I have to pass on a coin because the holder isn’t near perfect
