Re: Has anyone been to a James Spence Authentication seminar? (I went today, results inside)
I just got back from this. It was an interesting way to spend a Saturday. It took place at Beckett in Dallas. There was 4 different seminars throughout the day. The 1st one I missed completely was on BGS grading. The second one was on BVG grading which is for the pre 81 cards. I caught the first few minutes of this… -
Re: Your 1970 to present MLB all star black pitching rotation.
I have stayed quiet throughout this nonsense. However, you as the moderator have missed the point here. My post was an opinion, no more, no less, and I stand on what I wrote. Injecting race is like the 3rd rail in our world. I think the OP could easily have written his post in a more general fashion and left race out of… -
Re: u1's top 10 of 2024 {a bonus #11 added 12.31.24}
1885-O Morgan Silver Dollar NGC MS-63 ★ (Great Falls Collection) ....and a bonus #11...this Morgan was picked up after my top 10 list and it was just too nice not to include! An eBay find I wasn't planning on, but after staring at it and debating, I figured I should buy it. Good thing that I did because the colors are… -
Re: Repeat of 2008/2009.....?
If the past year or two represents global stability.....imagine what instability would look like? Let's poll Europe, South America, Africa, Russia, Australia, Japan, etc. and see how "stable" things were for them. World stability is not based on rising US stock market, rising US dollar, rising UST Bonds, rising US… -
Re: Best way to pay for coin off of bst
As someone who occasionally sells high value items on BST, I generally avoid using PayPal Goods & Services unless the buyer has positive references. The reason? PayPal's seller protection can often fall short in disputes. Buyers can easily file claims such as "item not received" or "unauthorized charge," which are… -

Re: The Modern Gold Commemorative King Has Been Made *Updated Numbers*
The odds are that the mintages can't drop much from here going forward unless gold prices go way up, as these gold unc commemoratives sell about 1,000 coins in two months, then languish in sales for the rest of the year until they finally go off sale in December. In order to get 1,000 or less, it may have to be a very late… -
Re: Dave Parker and Dick Allen elected into the Hall of Fame
Allen meets every HOF standard that ever existed; every BBWAA voter who ever voted "no" on Allen is a disgrace. Parker blows away the new "better than Jim Rice and Gil Hodges" standard, so his getting in was inevitable. But he falls short of what I wish the HOF was, so I'll just shrug. -
Educational pattern post #2: The 1856 Flying Eagle small cent
This educational pattern post #2 is about the 1856 Flying Eagle cent. Now I hear some of you saying “is that a pattern?”. Well it might be a shock for those people, but it definitely is a pattern. It’s included in both the Judd and Pollock books. The story is about collectors from the late 1850’s, tradition and… -
Re: There were 894 horse racing deaths in 2023
A fair attempt. I tried to rationalize it with this angle as well. Show jumping especially has had its share of mystery deaths. There was also the “show jumping horse killing scandal”. The average age of horses for show jumping is 11.5 years. Horse and hound has a nice yearly memorial page for show jumping horses who have…
