Re: Stacks, Spectrum Numismatics, and Teletrade Joining Forces!
This is total non news. They are all owned by the same company. What took them so long? Teletrade has gone downhill since Ian left. Now Irma Kane has left as well. Spectrum stock rarely trades and has been delisted to the pink sheets. They need to start earning profits at Spectrum and they can probably start by lowering… -
Re: My worst Numismatic Blunders
Many years ago worked for a large company that had an internal posting for employee to employee sales. Kind of an internal Craig’s List. Someone advertised a 1799 dollar, fairly cheap.

That said, I'm open to hearing a good explanation as to why a private TPG (like NGC) would be more likely to fight coin docs and… -
Re: CU Stock down 10% today. Respnse to ZAG/GAI merger?
Let me say this again: Collector's Universe should NOT be a public company! They perform a wonderful service for people, but if you look at it, all they primarily do is review at cards (and coins) and slab them. No real future for growth, no products (other than the service that literally ANYONE can do), and a stagnant… -
