Re: Did any of you notice any unusual Mickey Mantle cards at the 2015 National? Please elaborate.
I recall seeing a Mantle mask at the big Philadelphia show at the packed George Washington Motor Lodge in 88. It looked like it was the worse for wear, perhaps cracked a little here and there. My vague memory of over 25 years past is that Mantle's face was by then pretty worn. However, Bishop's specimen looks top notch.… -
Eyeballing as a kid.....no detector needed!
Okay, here's my story. Perhaps you'd share one of yours with us? A little background first. My family is from Carson City, but I was born in the SF bay area when Dad was building troop ships at the SF shipyards during WWII. So, spent many years there before moving to Carson as a teen. No pics, just a read about an 8 year… -

Re: Donations accepted here to assist homeless Charley victims
Hi All, My wife and I just returned a little while ago to my brothers house in merit island. There have been quite a few donations made via pay pal and some people sent checks to my home address and they were actually delivered!

Re: 2025 NFL Regular Season Thread
Well, we're beating this Sanders topic to death, including me, so this might be my final post on the subject (until the next one - LOL) College sports is a whole world different than the pros. The discipline needed to succeed in the pros is far greater than in college. I don't think Sanders has that sort of discipline.… -

Re: Between 1930 and 1939 What Items Had Value In America?
CASH - not PMs - are going to be the key. Depend on it. Metal-Bulls just don't get it. You cannot have ultra-high PM prices and a population with no access to cash/credit. You must have forgot to read the accounts of the great depression where gold was so favored that the President had to ban ownership. The simple act of… -
Re: Factors that make top provenance
This is interesting, but I suspect we may have quite a divergence of opinions. For what it's worth, a collection will never be considered great and a provenance to chase without documentation. i.e. a major auction sale at one of the main houses or a sylloge, such as that for the Schneider collection of English gold, is a… -

Re: Interesting article on attendance at sporting events
There are a few reasons why soccer, at least MLS soccer, will never become a mainstream sport in the U.S. (in some order): 1. We know we are not watching the best soccer players in the world. It's like watching AAA baseball. 2. There will probably never be "world class" American soccer player, like a Messi or Ronaldo.. If…
