True or False: Baseball is the greatest game on the planet?
Having been to 4 Tiger playoff games in the past 8 days, I was once again struck by the crowd at baseball games. Maybe I'm over-generalizing, but it seems to me if you did a study on the crowds at basketball, football, or hockey games (especially playoffs), a large percentage of the crowds would fall into a certain… -
Re: Does USPS insurance cover if a holder is damaged during shipment?
Your original post didn't say it was hard to make a claim, it categorically denied that USPS damage insurance exists. Most of us would agree that it can be difficult. But no one who can read is going to agree that damage insurance doesn't exist. Frankly, it is odd, even for you, to cling so stubbornly to a demonstrably… -
Re: What Should Be In a Good Market Report?
Here is an all-purpose, universal market report. No need to read new ones, just refer back to this thread. The [choose one: winter/spring/summer/fall] doldrums came to end with the jam-packed ________ [fill-in the blank] show. From the moment the doors opened to the gullible public there was a frenzied buzz as collectors… -
Re: Mint set survival.
<< <i>"Choice and gem coins can be scarce and in many cases there is virtually no other supply than these sets." You mean the is only 1,600,000 UNC 1987 nickles left. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH P.S. WILL OVER PAY FOR YOUR UNC 1987 COINS. 1xFACE >> This is OT but what the heck. Consider a coin like the 1931-S Lincoln. This… -
Re: Edison on the way....
Dollars, This is one of the 94 "Hall of Fame for Great Americans" Medals I have from the Medallic Arts Company that were produced between 1962 and 1976. Some say that these large .999 silver medals are only worth melt value, but I believe they are some if the most beautiful medals/coins ever produced. Here's the background… -
Re: How I bought the $100,000 1960-D Jefferson Nickel for $9,750 plus the juice
<< <i> << <i> << <i>DMWJR, Heh. >> I love that story! >> Sure, it's an interesting story but it falls short to what the 1960-D turd was doing to the hobby, PCGS, those who take this series very seriously. If the turd C. Cook was presented with had the same dire effect to his fleet or his country, he may have just verily… -
Re: Doubled Die
No eye? Try developing an ear instead. The most abusive aspect of the coin hobby is false “doubled die” coins which are not. More abusive than counterfeit coins? Yah, I truly think so. Why? Sheer volume. I’ve collected coins for over 62 years now. I own a few (less than 10) true doubled die coins. I had to buy each and… -
Re: All-Time Patriots additions?
<< <i>Just looking through the All-Time Celtics set composition which somehow includes Reggie Lewis and Jim Loscutoff. Loscutoff is even given a weighting of 2 vs. a 1 for Bird and Havlicek. I guess it would make sense for PSA to provide some sort of criteria for what constitutes an All-Time team member. >> Good point. For… -
Re: 1964-D Peace Dollar - What's the Unreal Story? - Winners Announced!
Here's my PM'd story: Little known is the true fate of the fabled 1964-D Peace dollar. In October 1963, strange lights began to appear over the Caribbean island nations of Haiti, the Dominican Republic, San Monique, Cuba, and the Bahamas. These unusual phenomena caused great panic among the populations, fearing them to be… -
Re: A serious question for JoeStalin (Kevin)
what bothers me about threads like these is the expectation that UD/topps/etc. "owes" you something. personally, buying a box and knowing that i'll get 2-4 gu and maybe an auto takes some of the "surprise" out of it for me...and takes the focus off of learning about the players/reading the backs of each card like i did…
