Re: What was it like before TPGs?
I have heard horror stories that the market was full of problem coins and counterfiets and that dealers consistently overgraded everything. How much of that is really true? all of the above was true "then" as it's true "now" though there's a safeguard in place. i find it rather amusing that some actually think it was more… -
COUNTERFITS ON THE MARKET
Does anybody know how many counterfits are on the market right now? How come I always see that 1952 topps Mickey Mantle with the crease on the hat. Someone is printing the hell out of that card because they all look the same. What the hell is going on here? It seems like every dealer and collector has that same card. That… -
Walkers, General Buying tips
Hello All, I made the decision the other night to start collecting raw Walkers. I know this set will take me a long while to collect but I really like this coin out of all of them. I'm going to be going for coins that go for less than $100. I realize that in some years that this won't get my foot in the door but I'll save… -
Re: Managed Payments, When do I see some money?

Anybody else doing business with new ebay user tamcdonnell?
The transaction I have ongoing with him is setting off a few yellow flag warnings but no real red flags. If 5 other people are having the same issue then red flags will fly...

What would you do with this ebay situation on card payment?
Had a guy win three of my cards for 400.00 and some change. He promptly mails out a money order. I work 6a-6p mon/tues so my wife gets the mail today and goes to the bank to cash the MO for me. She calls me later to tell me that the bank refused it because the ebayer or the person or bank employee he purchased the MO from… -
Re: A business model for pcgs to monetize the bst forum?
<< <i> << <i> Folks have gotten scammed on the BST in the past and, since getting a CU Forums id is a snap, I expect that folks would continue to get scammed. >> To be fair it kind of already has a member feedback collective and I have only heard of a few sour transactions over the years with limited oversight while on… -
Re: Minnesota "Bullion Coin Dealer" Law
Seems like this might be one of those laws that prove the saying about the road to hell being paved with good intentions. Those that shepherded this through the system did not actively consult with the legitimate industry leaders on this, although some of these dealers tried to engage with those moving the bill through the… -
Re: Why are there no newbies collecting actual coins?
I am not sure this is even related but it might be why we are seeing a lot of error questions and folks thinking about making money and not really trying to “collect”. For some time now, its been my observation on eBay that a number of listings for the 1992 Close AM cents, and some ordinary circulated wheats have been… -
Re: Idle thoughts on a Super Bowl weekend Saturday
I assume that you were talking about the first generation NGC slab. A few years ago NGC offered black insert slabs but they are sufficiently different from the first generation slabs that they can be easily differentiated. A few years ago someone sold on eBay a first generation NGC slab shell with the black inset and label…
