Build a story...let's try again...
The following is the berginning of a story I have written (except that I have changed the name of the main character.) Add a short paragraph. Let's see what happens. This is a good writing exercise...let's try and keep it serious! Feel free to use dialogue and introduce other characters. Octavius pushed his cart into the… -
About the rec.collecting.coins newsgroup
Many regulars here have been longtime regulars of the Internet newsgroup rec.collecting.coins. Contributions by many of the veteran posters have been absent or greatly reduced since the lawsuit by the "certain Florida grading company." That vacuum may account for some of the present unhappy situation. Recently the group… -
Word to the wiseguys: when in the midst of cherrypicking, it's probably best to not get greedy
Had this happen today at a stamp show, but I've seen it countless times at coin dealers and coin shows. If you know you're getting a rip, just shut up and pay the asking price without question. Don't give the dealer any reason to question or closely examine the merchandise. Otherwise the only person who is going to get… -

Re: Jordan sticker showing pack record or mistake
Did anyone else notice that he's a keyword spammer? All of the following appears in white text in his description: 1952 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 1061 1962 1963 1964 965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993… -

COLL: COllector's Lessons Learned
If this isn’t the right forum for this, let me know I’ll move it. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m knew to card collecting. I decided to put some of my “lessons learned” as a forum topic that we all can update/comment on and learn from. I guess the real experienced collectors don’t need this, but us newbie’s do! Of course,… -
The true PKOK coin story part 2
As a lad of 10, he would always ask his father to bring him to the local coin show every month. His father always agreed. In his mind, the show was a wonder. A large room filled with people, trading, selling, always bargaining. The lad was facinated. He stood by his father, clasping his hand for encouragement. "Mr Coin… -
Re: A thread for Don Willis to discuss the SSP & BST issues with us

How can we solve a problem none of us know exists? That's not to say we need the juicy details. But rather a testament to the fact that whatever issues there were,… -

For the love of God, no! It's thoughtfully mulling things over! Run! Run! It's making reasonable, fact-based arguments!…
