Re: the official sports betting thread -- enter at your own risk
@2dueces, Cool. Having the futures bet on the eventual favorite is a much better position to be in. You can bet Bengals ATS, and have a chance to win both bets. Betting money line on Bengals is going to limit you to cashing one ticket. At+165, a $400 bet means $900 profit if Rams win, and $560 if Bengals win. With ATS bet… -
Re: 1928 SHANGHAI 10 DOLLAR BANK OF CHINA
"291fifth" is quite right. Nations often chose which printing companies based either on politics or cost savings. Below are two "2 Gourdes" banknotes from Haiti two years apart: The first, P-254, was printed by the United States Printing Company in 1990 (shown only on the back) and the second, P-260, was printed by TDLR in… -
Re: What's a reasonable premium for FH SLQs?
Okey, you are not asking the resoanable premium for FH SLQs. You are asking 1917 type one NGC MS63 FH. If the coin is correctly graded, $300 to $325 is the best price I would offer. If the coin is a PQ, then $350. If the coin is an average one, $260. There are plenty 1917 type one SLQs between MS63FH and MS65FH. You could… -
Re: How many players in the baseball hall of fame?

Re: eBay's plan to drive away good sellers with a 1% reserve fee
ebay fees are expensive, paypal fees are expensive but: last time i listed an entire group of lots on ebay i estimated their value at $550. final auction value was $810. that $260 over expectations covered ebay fees/paypal fees nearly three-fold. so you can either use ebay's exposure to your advantage and pay the high fees… -
Re: A Very Nice 81 Proof Set Surprise
Having just purchased a 1981 SBA Type II, I would say that you should get them slabbed. I've seen prices on the SBA recently run from $260-$375 for a PR69 DCAM. While raw coins are about $200. If you have a PR69 DCAM, submit it. You'll have no problems selling that coin on EBay. While I was at Long Beach, I asked probably… -
Re: I WAS INSPIRED... (Part Two, with pics.)
I went back to the bank last Monday to deposit some money and asked, just for the heck of it, if they had any more rolls of halves. The Vault Babe said, "Yes, over a hundred dollars face. I thought you brought them back here." I told her that I had promised not to dump them at that bank and had taken them elsewhere so that… -
Re: (Huge?) gold sale...
Gold Cartel has probably sold their entire holdings many times over through the futures market. Much easier to sell what you don't have and can't deliver. The SEC has been very accomidating to them. And eliminating the up-tick rule only helped them further. The CB's have sold up to 50% of their gold stash over the past 15… -
Re: 16th Birthday Giveaway! Winner announced in 1st post.

Heck...there were… -
Re: Kelloggs on the SMR
Mikeschmidt - I understand what you're saying, but I don't really agree with it. Look at the '68 Topps 3-D set with 260 total cards graded. How many collectors are actually putting that set together - very few. Now look at the '70 Kellogg's 3-D set with over 5,000 graded. There are a slew of people collecting that set and…
