Re: Is a link to an internet site the same as personal info??
The "it's your fault if someone posts your personal information" argument is weak, regardless of whether the information is on the Internet.

Re: Before grading services were established...........................

STOP BUYING COINS!
& read the books! I'm no expert by any means, but I do know a little about a lot. I often read threads here and for the most part, gain a lot of very useful information, but lately I've been reading what seems to be a lot of new collectors on buying spree's.

Hi All! A refugee from the PSA boards..
Hi folks, I'm in the process of putting together a website that will address the 'do's and don'ts' for buying and selling particular collectibles on online auctions.
