Five true/false statements on human nature and submitting
Five statements designed to elicit theories and discussion. Answer true/false, and chat away on any if so inclined. My personal feelings: All five statements are "True" to some degree. 1. The grading room has good/bad days. Even with several graders looking at the same coin, there will be days when they are a bit more… -
Re: Device for coin photography at ANA show
I spoke with them for quite a while. Their goal was to make a self-contained, desktop lighting device that someone that's not all that skilled or interested in the finer points of photography could use to quickly image coins for a business using a phone or point 'n' shoot where throughput was most important. Solving the… -
Re: Huge theft at the Dallas Card show today.
Completely agree! Frankly, it seems to me that the owner was quite lackadaisical with a suitcase containing a million dollars worth of cards. The suitcase was even in the back of the display area and nobody was even watching it. Perhaps being in the venue gave him a false sense of security, which was a costly mistake on… -
Re: Gold down
Until gold falls below the $845-$865 range, the overall trend since 2002 is distinctly up. If we do get a fall below $900 coming up in August, you may only have 1-2 weeks to react to it. If gold stays above $905 in August, that would be extremely bullish. In fact, even above $880 would be very bullish. Gold was down this… -
ASE, AGE, & APE missing from US Mint Fall 2009 Catalog?
The US Mint will be issuing its Fall Catalog on 8/27. The catalog description on the US Mint Website does not mention any ASE, AGE, or APE coins. I guess we still don't know if or when the US Mint will be issuing these in 2009, although it is late in the year. US Mint 2009 Fall Catalog Link… -
Re: Modern Cards - What value do they really hold?
Supply and Demand has forever destroyed the modern card market. I stopped collecting modern cards in 1993; I didn't think it would get worst! Look at the chain of events: First there was the regular "insert card". Topps Finest Refractors were some of the hottest cards in the hobby at one time. Then it was the "super… -
Re: What's with the lack of action.
I don't track the prices on cards that much, but recently checked the PSA estimate on the ones I have listed there on my collection. I was shocked at how much they've gone up in value in the year since I'd last checked. Mine are 99% vintage. I think the new grading standards have made any vintage go up in value a lot in… -
Re: Dow and NASDAQ close up 11.5%!!!!!!!!! It's Time To.........Buy More Coins!!!!
<< <i>How do you know it this wasn't a dead cat bounce?? >> Very possible...... From Wikipedia: A dead cat bounce is a term used by traders in the finance industry to describe a pattern wherein a spectacular decline in the price of a stock is immediately followed by a moderate and temporary rise before resuming its… -
Re: 1982 Topps baseball traded set case - Ripken rookie.
Your guy is a "huge Orioles fan". This is the key to the question to me. Also curious if he's wealthy. This guy hit a home run on an investment. Does he care about the money, or not? First, to answer your question, you will get between 0 and 5 PSA 10's if you opened all 100 sets. My guess would be 2 or 3, but 0 or 1 is a… -
Compare these Morgan MS64+ DMPLs
I’m looking for a DMPL CC Morgan. I prefer sticking to a common date variety since it’s more within my price range. The 64+ grade is interesting in that it falls between two grades that see a significant price increase, so in my mind, there is more potential for it to be more easily regarded as a higher grade by the right…
