Re: I got sniped by Lucy!!!!!!!
I've put some thought into this, and I think I've come up with a plausable theory. Picture this: Bad Dip It's early afternoon, December 31st. Russ sits hunched over his desk. He tries to keep his mind on his work. He's preparing his latest acquisition of AH's for submission. A large bowl of "Russ's Secret Dipping Solution"… -
Re: Super Slab from almost 60 years ago!
Very interesting, but probably not the first 'slab'.

Re: Which auction house to use?
<< <i><< None of the above. Russ, NCNE >> So what would you suggest, Russ? >> Well, I was really only referring to my collection.

Re: PCGS has a $50,000 reward for anyone who can solve the ASE milk spotting problem.
<< <i><< A quick dip to stabilize the surfaces BEFORE submitting solves the problem. I'd like my $50K in small bills, please. Russ, NCNE >> I thought Russ had this conversation with Ron Guth about a year ago on these boards and Ron said he was going back to his "lab" to check on this theory. I wonder what happened. >> You… -
