Spring PNNA Show report
Been quite a while since i have had a stress free, nearly slow down free drive from my home north of Seattle to Portland but the trip down Friday was easy. I left at 1130 thinking it would take me 6 hours and got to the venue in 4-1/2. Had to kill a couple hours before they would actually let us in to set up ( I… -
Re: Whatzit #9, or, In Defense of the Bowie $5
I wonder whether the arguments made against the Bowie $5 in this article are sound? I guess there is only one way to find out - examine it point by point. The article appears in italics below - my commentary will be in bold, non-italicized type. The False Bowie $5 Coin. 1. Who was J. H. Bowie? Those who argue the case for… -
Re: New submission turnaround times
There are 4 large corporations in the infant formula business... Nestle, Abbott and two others that elude me right now. There are probably hundreds which make and distribute "baby food" in the United States. "microchips"... this is usually referred to as "semiconductors". There is a rather large semiconductor industry in… -
Re: Ryan Howard transformation to Dave Kingman thread...
<< <i>" and manage to get a false 110 RBI" lol, how does anyone get false RBI? And I don't want to hear the free throw analogy. I do agree the Phillies did pay him a lot of dough. But what major league superstar does not get top dollar? Steve >> I did miss that the first time. What's a false RBI? -
Re: Update to the Marla3748 eBay Scammer Thread! She is Now Bidding as yourad**k to harrass those who he
I hate to play devils advocate, but what if youradick123 is actually a legitimate new user and this is just a coincidence? How many legitimate users provide false contact information? Not just false but obviously false. I can understand someone just wanting some anonymity but when they use a name like youradick dickhead in… -
Re: After you buy a coin, and if you plan to keep it, what's the importance of a TPG opinion on the coi
After you buy a coin, and if you plan to keep it, what's the importance of a TPG opinion on the coin's grade? Assuming the coin was graded accurately, not much! But then again, there are suckers born every second! I can understand the importance of the TPG grade when buying a coin because -- for better or for worse -- it… -
Re: Is the 1818 14 star large cent a contemporary counterfeit?
MrEureka January 03, 2010 Patterson's letter states: It is probable that the manufacturers and distributors of these coins may not have known that the business was illegal as the spurious cents were not direct imitations of the true ones. What am I missing? Granted, I haven't seen the 1825 law to which he refers...… -
Re: True or false: All circulated coins have been cleaned.
"Any time the word "all" is used in a True or False statement, the answer tends to be "False"." I could not agree more. Any time that such extreme language (e.g., all, every, none, never, always), or other such hyperbole, is used in a statement, I tend to disagree. Although I understand the premise of your question, I… -
Re: No More Pennies?
False. Now that that bit of pedantry is out of the way, what something is and what it's called can be two different things, as Alice discovered in a conversation with the White Knight. Flying Eagle cents were contemporarily called nicks. -
Re: 1972 Topps Football
I agree with Favre. I never recommend complete sets or unopened boxes to build a graded set. On the surface seems reasonable but not efficient dollar-wise. You can pick up so many graded cards cheaply on eBay. For the tougher ones, you can buy singles and send in for grading. This may not be a 'pure' way to build a graded…
