Re: So what did you guys do this summer?
Thanks! What's even better is that my wife would rather go fishing than stay in a fancy hotel!!! I live an hour from Mille Lacs Lake in Minnesota. Once the finest lake for Walleye. Last year, you couldn't even keep 1 Walleye. When you are allowed to keep 1 it has to be a certain length or "slot". Hundreds (thousands?) of… -
Re: what everyone thinks 2007 Platinum 10th anniversury set
I also have one other FS set that I also was going to send to PCGS, but I really think I am going to send it back to the Mint. If it's in a sealed, first strike eligible box, you might want to see if anyone is interested in purchasing. On ebay, you'd need to get $2,050 to cover ebay/paypal fees to break even. A set… -
Re: Coin hunting in Atlanta and a Dahlonega report
<< <i> I was surprised overall that coin shops in Atlanta are very spread out and far between - making visits difficult. However there is a "We buy Gold" setup in every town. >> I have not been able to make it to the barber shop place yet (other side of town, been closed both times). If you make it to marietta there are… -
Re: 1985 Topps Football Collectors
No, I never dealt with him. I used to find some decent stuff in Antioch from a guy named Carl. His store was cleverly named Carl's Cards! Athlon used to have a store with some cards in Cool Springs, but they relocated to Opry Mills and have mostly autographed items,as I'm sure you know. Do you ever go to the fairgrounds… -
Re: Too Philosphical this week?
I wonder what Socrates, Kant, and Mill would say about coins... That's what google is for. For example: The paradoxes of pre-Kantian Enlightenment thought are rooted in the following nostrums: * We have direct dealings not with things but with representations of things. * The mind is passive, or minimally active in… -
Re: Good card shops in LA/Long Beach area
Now that was a good day! When I first moved to the Philly area in 1994 I would spend every Thursday (my day off) shopping for cards and such. I would start at a local flea market at 6:30 AM and then travel 30 miles south and work my way back. I'd hit 6 card shops each week. Ebay has changed everything, I can't recall the… -
Re: Let's go DODGERS
It is what it is. In all fairness to the folks in LA, there is a lot to do out there, with the sunny weather, beach nearby, etc. So naturally there might be less interest in professional sports. My uncle moved to the LA area, about a half mile from the beach, around twenty years ago for business reasons. He doesn't have to… -
Re: Grades popped
Hi Phil, Whenever I'm in Cincinnati, I always stop in to see a friend of mine named Steve Wolter. He's very estute and well-known for his knowledge and expertise of Red's memorabilia. He owns the red corvette that Marge Schott gave Pete Rose when he broke Cobbs record in 1985. Here's a LINK with contact info. If anyone can… -
Re: Albert Pujols supposedly won't sign rookie cards at upcoming signing, $155 per sig.
<< <i>Blind "sports hero worship" must be a wonderful thing? >> Or how about it's more an admiration of the efforts the player puts out to help others, when he does not have to do anything? Albert could sit back and do nothing to help others, while enjoying the millions he makes each year off of his talents. Instead, he… -
Re: Does early Red and Red/Brown copper become less stable when reholdered, and should we try to avoid t
The whole "process" these days is regrettable. Some coins, especially the rarest ones, have more frequent flyer miles than all of my friends combined. Coins get shipped back and forth--looking for the upgrade at NGC, then the cross at PCGS. Then it is sold and shipped again, only for the new owner to "take a shot" at an…
