2 big thumbs up for TomB

mbbiker · February 15, 2011 12:11PM

He had a coin listed on the BST that i was interested in and to make a long story short he went WAY out of his way for someone he's never done business with before. Just had to post and give him 2 thumbs up and if i had more thumbs those would be up to. Because of him i got to add a beautiful half dollar to my collection. Thanks again Tom

Glad to know there are still a few honest trustworthy people here on the forums.

In spite of the fact that TomB busted my chops in another thread, I give him my two thumbs up too!

Seriously...he's a great guy and I'm not surprised at how he treated you.

pakasmom · February 15, 2011 12:22PM

I've got a list of "good guys." TomB is at the top of it...

He went out of his way to try to coach me through posting pics. (Note:tried.)

TomB is the BomB!

I always did like that green looking gremlin.

DRUNNER · February 15, 2011 12:42PM

I have never had the chance to associate with him, but despite that, after reading a LOT of his posts . . . I realize he is a straight shooter and trusted member of these Boards and MORE than a credit to our group here. He is a 'foxhole' guy . . . one you'd like to have at your back when it hits the fan !!!

Oh, and I have learned a lot from his posts for the last umpteen years . .

Tom is one of the first guys I go to for Barber's, he is great.

AnkurJ · February 15, 2011 1:01PM

Agreed! And he is less scary in person

BaseballAbs · February 15, 2011 1:10PM

Wow, now that's a thumbs up. He must be a great guy to get that big of a hand

Bochiman · February 15, 2011 1:13PM

I love the guy! More Bush for me!

Tom is a great person to deal with have never spoken in person but have had dealings with him over the course of a decade on the forums here.

Big thumbs up from the OKIE.

ricko · February 15, 2011 11:13PM

TomB is a first class guy and has a lot of knowledge, which he willingly shares with us. Cheers, RickO

lkeigwin · February 16, 2011 12:59AM

I've been more than happy with all the coins I've bought from Tom. Not only were they correctly photographed and described, but they were excellent examples and fairly priced. A few I submitted for PCGS grading and they came back higher than Tom's assessment.

And of course the service and friendliness was top notch. Couldn't ask for more!

You will not find a nicer, more honest person in all of numismatics.

...took the words right out of my mouth

chumley · February 16, 2011 3:15AM

I have a bad heart...suppose we could get tom to lay hands on me?

Catbert · February 16, 2011 3:58AM

Beyond sharing coin advice, Tom provided detailed insight into higher education that I used to advise my son who will be attending college in the fall. I credit him with having a significant influence on my son choosing a different major that I think will be more rewarding. There aren't many people on message boards who would take the time to provide such guidance and expertise so generously. Thank you TomB!

joebb21 · February 16, 2011 4:06AM

here are my 2

SeaEagleCoins · February 16, 2011 4:20AM

I have been accused, in the past, of sitting around with my thumb up my

so I will kindly keep my thumbs to myself

Instead, I will say this...

TomB is pretty darn cool for a green goblin

TONEDDOLLARS · February 16, 2011 5:02AM

Tom ,is one of the good guys............for sure

Elcontador · February 16, 2011 5:19AM

Tom is as honest as the day is long. As a friend from Texas would put it, "he's a fine Christian boy" (that one doesn't travel well north of the Mason / Dixon line, but you get the drift).

dragon · February 16, 2011 8:00AM

TomB is A+ in my book.

keets · February 16, 2011 8:10AM

2 big thumbs up for TomB

well, you know he is a rocket scientist!!!

Baley · February 16, 2011 8:13AM

My TomB story is from 5 years ago... I had been looking for and posting WTB on an 1802 half dollar, TomB PMs me and says, hey Baley, I just bought anXF45 1802 half, would you be interested in my VG coin I upgraded from? I can send it to you on approval! I say, yes please, he sends it, I like it, he prices it, I send a check, it clears, done deal.

Plus lots of good discussion about scarcity, surface qualities, price structures and trends. TomB=good guy

pontiacinf · February 16, 2011 10:27AM

us oldbies know TomB is worth his weight in gold

now someone call a contractor to widen the doors at his place, his heads getting kind of big

pendragon1998 · February 16, 2011 10:31AM

Tom is a wonderful asset to the forums he posts on and I had a great transaction with him. One of my favorite coins came from him:

coinguy1 · February 16, 2011 10:45AM

I agree with just about everything I have seen written about Tom in this thread. But for the "And he is less scary in person" comment, of course.

EVillageProwler · February 16, 2011 11:51AM

Tom is easy to spot on a bourse floor: look for the tall guy who looks like Mike Brady.

keets · February 16, 2011 11:53AM

holy crap EVP, where did you come from???

EVillageProwler · February 16, 2011 11:59AM

Hello Keets. This thread is about the esteemed Mr. Bush, so

RYK · February 16, 2011 12:34PM

I have had numerous excellent online conversations with Tom (coin-related and not coin-related), a rare phone conversation

, and several very satisfactory transactions. I hope someday to meet Tom in person.

veryfine · February 16, 2011 1:07PM

Tom has a wealth of information and a great eye for quality!

Justacommeman · February 16, 2011 2:13PM

I've had more pm's with Tom then anyone else. Sometimes what he writes me is so over my head that I have to check out like three books just to answer, " ya, what you said!"...........love him. MJ

Bankerbob56 · February 17, 2011 12:06AM

Is TomB = to Tom Becker????

QuarterCollector · February 17, 2011 12:08AM

I'd give him 3 thumbs up if I could. Tom B has an outstanding eye for quality and is a pleasure to work with.

Tom
