Re: Just added a pair of new favorites to my collection!
Awesome Aqueous Sabo's Russ. Are you planning to have PSA add this Sabo card to the Sabo master set registry ? I also noticed that the individual with the #1 1990 Donruss Aqueous test registry set is in need of a card # 242 Chris Sabo for his set !! Congratulations Russ !! Doug -
Re: The best looking raw 1959 Proof Franklin (DCAM) I have ever seen is for sale on EBay.
<< <i>The coin was shot using very low light. This method forces the camera lens to focus on the lighter areas, (devices), at the expense of the darker areas, (fields). This results in enhanced contrast, and is also what accounts for the screwed up white balance. Russ, NCNE >> I'm agreeing with Russ, it's a CAM at best. -
Re: Are 1967 SMS coins REALLY proofs, despite what the mint called them?
<< <i>Would appreciate knowing what page he mentions that on Russ, as I reckon I was in too much of a hurry. >> Page 93, item 4, second sentence: "However, proof planchets were double struck, while SMS planchets were struck only once." Russ, NCNE -
Re: Is there such a thing as a ms62 FBL 1953-s Frankie?
<< <i>The fact that PCGS hasn't graded any doesn't mean that none exist. Russ, NCNE >> Russ, I think it is pretty odd that none have been graded if this was true. I am sure people have been submitting that date like crazy trting to catch a big score. -
Re: A handsome set of quadruplets just back from a brief Florida vacation.
<< <i>Russ, are the NGC-graded AH Kennedy's commanding the same prices as the PCGS-graded coins? >> These are just regulars, but in answer to your question - no. NGC graded Accented Hairs bring quite a bit less than the PCGS graded flavor. Gap is not as wide as it used to be, but still substantial. Russ, NCNE -
Re: Coin Photo Lighting
<< <i>Wow Russ, if we could get that good we'd be real happy. >> It's not me, it's my $80 camera. << <i>Are you using a tent? >> Nope. Just bare bulbs aimed directly at the coin. Two high at the top, one a little lower coming in from the left. Russ, NCNE -
Re: A glaring example of eBay failing in their responsibility to protect bidders.
A sucker born every day, with that fact, we will always have folks like this. Great work by Russ for rooting these folks out. This board is great for that. Almost need to get E-Bay to appoint Russ head scam finder, and even pay him a few bucks...becasue profit is good. -
Re: This is the strangest thing I have gotten in the mail!
<< <i>I didn't want to waste the test label from my new printer. Russ, NCNE >> You could have just canceled it. Marty,you might want to get yourself tested for anthrax just in case Russ is trying to get rid of his cameo proof competition. -
Re: Anyone got Ebay auction ending tomorrow?
<< <i>It's okay to say crap. Russ, NCNE >> Russ said crap. I don't have anything for sale on ebay, but I am watching several items that end on the 4th. I hope a lot of people are out watching the fireworks. I could use a few soft prices. ----------- etexmike -
Re: Now that we have a new ANA Board...
<< <i>Send Russ and I the donuts then.....he needs them and I just like them >> While I do fit the "old" criteria, unfortunately donuts are no longer an allowable indulgence. Too much trans fat. And, strangely, I made that decision without government intervention. Russ, NCNE
