Re: Has anyone been to a James Spence Authentication seminar? (I went today, results inside)
I just got back from this. It was an interesting way to spend a Saturday. It took place at Beckett in Dallas. There was 4 different seminars throughout the day. The 1st one I missed completely was on BGS grading. The second one was on BVG grading which is for the pre 81 cards. I caught the first few minutes of this… -
Re: Your 1970 to present MLB all star black pitching rotation.
I have stayed quiet throughout this nonsense. However, you as the moderator have missed the point here. My post was an opinion, no more, no less, and I stand on what I wrote. Injecting race is like the 3rd rail in our world. I think the OP could easily have written his post in a more general fashion and left race out of… -
Re: Repeat of 2008/2009.....?
If the past year or two represents global stability.....imagine what instability would look like? Let's poll Europe, South America, Africa, Russia, Australia, Japan, etc. and see how "stable" things were for them. World stability is not based on rising US stock market, rising US dollar, rising UST Bonds, rising US… -

Re: New proposal to PCGS and CAC. Preprinted stickers for Educational Service.
Maybe you poorly explained it. And why wouldn't an invoice comment suffice? And a DNC is often just a DNC. And a fall to pass is often just a fall to pass. There may not be any specific reason other than it didn't meet the grade standard. Will you feel better if your DNC has a sticker that just says DNC? -
Educational pattern post #2: The 1856 Flying Eagle small cent
This educational pattern post #2 is about the 1856 Flying Eagle cent. Now I hear some of you saying “is that a pattern?”. Well it might be a shock for those people, but it definitely is a pattern. It’s included in both the Judd and Pollock books. The story is about collectors from the late 1850’s, tradition and… -

WHY DON'T YOU GO F***… -
Re: A minor observation about Gold Eagles selling on Ebay
$1480 is a premium over spot of 20% . Why pay a premium for slabbed bullion in a falling market anyway? I can't see any logic to it at all . It sounds like the theory is that it could protect you if prices fall but if you are worried they are going to fall then just don't buy now , just wait . On the other hand if its… -
Re: What the Heck !! Merc Folks Fell Off the Face of the Earth ??
Looks like everyone has been busy and stayed out of trouble except myself. I see a couple of Type Guys replied and they should remember that a few of the Merc People also collect type coins. In fact I won a coin on Ebay that Cameron had bid on also. Not quite sure if he forgot about the Half Dime or if I bid to much for…
