Who Is Your Numismatic Nemesis ?

STEWARTBLAYNUMIS · June 23, 2005 3:38AM

Is it the dealer to whom you have given your want list?
Perhaps when many of the coins you needed came up in auction he ran you up to your max
on each and every bid ?

Is it the dealer who gagged you on an upgrade for your Registry Set.
After all it will be the most expensive 1 point upgrade you ever bought.
After all you are "The Target"

Is it PCGS
Perhaps they didn't give you the grade you expected ?
After all you will see only what you want to see.

Is it the guy who is #1 in the Set Registry and you can only be #2

Is it Velveeta/aka Laura Sperber/aka Legend Coin ?
After all she keeps throwing bait out there and all you wannabe chumps go for it ?

Did I leave anyone out?

"Who Is Your Numismatic Nemesis ?"

It's MadMarty (he finds all the good coins both lightside and darkside).

CoinHusker · June 23, 2005 3:59AM

How 'bout the guy at the local coin club that makes every meeting miserable by the way he rolls his eyes, questions, discredits or worse, ignores everything you say or do because "HE" is the big fish in the small pond (even though he's 5'1").

And yes, of course, it's just hypothetical

Wow stewart, great way to make enemies!

Speaking of nemesis, I need to bring back
THE NEMESIS BALL!!

DMWJR · June 23, 2005 4:21AM

You are more of my envy than my nemesis, keeping me at a permanent #2 (or 3 if you count Gerry). I do have smoe nameless nemesi (sp?) out there . . . who won't part with a couple of coins I want except for 2x a realistic price. I'm not naming names, but they are out there.

mgoodm3 · June 23, 2005 4:37AM

Stewart really can't be my nemesis even though we collect some of the same things, but I really don't care for red copper and he can have them. My main nemsis is that high-grade MS BN copper is kinda hard to find. Plastic is my photgraphic nemesis.

LanLord · June 23, 2005 5:07AM

Since I collect for my own enjoyment, there is no nemisis.

I don't have any registry to worry about, my dealer knows what I want - but if the price isn't there I won't buy, and I really don't give an "F" about what PCGS thinks a coin should be.

RYK · June 23, 2005 5:09AM

Since I collect for my own enjoyment, there is no nemisis.

Kidding aside, I am probably my own worst collecting enemy.

You need to become your own collecting best friend!

morgannut2 · June 23, 2005 6:02AM

--No Question: the guys buying for Rare Coin Wholesalers have outbid/run me up more than any others, although Velvetta has cost me a few DMPL Morgans, she's just a minor wannabe by comparison.

MadMarty was my first thought. I guess I can move out East or something.

Actually there are a few others who might be even worse with beating me to the punch. There
are some extremely active people out there.

Lord Master Stewart and a unnamed east coast collector. They own all the great small cents that I covet.

JrGMan2004 · June 23, 2005 11:01AM

Marty and Russ!!!

Coinosaurus · June 23, 2005 11:18AM

Right now it's a certain whale.

In a good way, though, because he is a classy guy who loves coins.

Ronyahski · June 23, 2005 11:50AM

You only have a nemesis if you think negatively and are confrontational. Hopefully none for me.

jacktheknife · June 23, 2005 12:33PM

Stewart,

YOU have been my nemesis since 1989! In fact, after I come home from FUN every year my wife asks, "Did you get to play with your nemesis, Stewart?" She's been hearing your name for many years now.

Bag Marks are my nemesis:

Despite them all, I still bought this baby:

ccex · June 23, 2005 1:10PM

I collect mostly raw coins for enjoyment, and not for competition in any registry set If I have a nemesis, it would be either an eBay PowerSeller or prit advertiser who is an inveterate overgrader/non-discloser of problem coins. These folks lure in newbies momentarily but often drive them away from the hobby once they realize the resale value of their purchases. New collectors leaving the hobby in disgust are not good for any of us here.

KentuckyJ · June 23, 2005 1:31PM

No nemesis here, other than perhaps my inability to tolerate minor spots on otherwise beautiful coins. I said "no" to this pretty Eliasberg simply because of the little microscopic dot rt obv field. Needless to say, I have several times wished I had instead said "yes." In hand, this is a beautiful coin

cladking · June 23, 2005 1:54PM

The fact that more people didn't say MadMarty gives me hope.
