Re: NHL 2024-25 Playoffs your team (s)?
I assume you mean a trade or something. No way they'll take him to arb and then walk away from his contract for nothing. But seeing as he was bumped down to the 4th line and had his ice time cut late in that series I could see them not extending him or essentially doing a sign and trade of some sort. He did fall off in the… -
Recent Poppage
Just wanted to share some recent poppage as it's always nice to get something even if it's not exactly the grades you want. The 62 Civil War News are the worst of a complete set I submitted. Asked for no qualifiers so got pretty much what I expected. Gives me hope the others will garner lots of 8's and 9's. The 61 Post… -
Need Help with a $10 Type Set
I just finished disposing of my late father's estate, so I decided to talk with my adult daughter about some of the valuable things that I own and where she might be able to sell them for a good price when I'm gone. I showed her some National Banknotes that I own, and she thought that it was wild that a person might be… -
Re: How would you rank my haul yesterday?
I hear what you are saying. There is a fine line between coming down on a new collector like a ton of bricks and discouraging them, causing them to leave the hobby, and giving them constructive advice to avoid the potholes and falls equal to the Grand Canyon. An example of the Grand Canyon is the “1913 Liberty Nickel” that… -
11 quick tips for Liberty Seated Dollar collectors

Re: GTG - 1921 Peace Dollar (PR62 Satin)
It’s inaccurate to say that “a coin like this is not something NGC will be willing to call PF without a trusted submitter.” We may theorize as to the reasons behind this particular coin or that particular coin being certified differently at different points in time and possibly by different graders, but to claim that it is… -
Random observations from 1st show focusing on foreign coins
I spent this morning at the Annandale, VA coin show, which is about 15 minutes from my house. It’s generally a popular show in this area (around 60-80 tables). Today was nuts. I arrived at Northern VA community college at around 950 (doors open a 10), and found a line of at least 100 people in front of me. $60 silver makes… -
Interesting auction observation
I was watching and recording the Heritage auction of the fabulous Whispering Pines collection today. The auctioneer said a couple very interesting things. One was, in regards to a scarce item of which there are several in the same grade, the auctioneer said the collector (Whispering Pines) looked at and evaluated all the… -
Current gold prices and buying Saint Gaudens $20 better dates
For those Saints experts out there, I wouldn't mind looking at acquiring some more Saints, however, I don't want to chase after common dates. The premiums have collapsed (at least on common dates) and what I'm wondering is, what dates are what you might call in the "sweet spot" for scarcity and price? I realize one could… -
Re: SGC ORDER
Agree 100% and that RW is seriously under appreciated as a player. Dude could play. So, ifPSA (and now SGC?!) are basically doing all they can to discourage vintage collectors from grading where do we go? I sent some recently from the fall specials, just got the grades released and will NEVER send to PSA again. I’m done. I…
