Re: Is the One Ounce Gold Enhanced Uncirculated Coin on the mint website new?
A 10- or 15-minute cart timer seems like a practical solution. It would give collectors enough time to complete a purchase without having to rush through checkout, which could be especially helpful for older collectors or anyone dealing with website delays. If the purchase isn't completed within that window, the item… -
Re: Interesting research...hypocrisy?
<< <i>I think I can make my point in light of Russ' statement above with one simple question : Why arent we going after easyman? If the answer is "Because he didn't come over here and raise a fuss" >> Dwood, That's a pretty interesting "massage" of what I actually said. Just in case anybody happens by and doesn't read the… -

Re: And the Sun rises on another day at the forum!!
I too really enjoyed the early forum days with @Russ. His posts were truly valued by most of the forum members. He was funny, smart, and wonderfully opinionated. I talked with Russ a few times a month back in 2008 and on, as he was my eBay consignor for selling my coins. His images were topnotch and always seemed to bring… -
Re: Wild trade for Quinn Hughes!
1 Shot on Goal for Kaprizov in the last two Colorado games is not going to pay the bills with a $17 million future contract expense. There's a chasm between his talent and MacKinnon at $12.6 milion a year. They're putting themselves in another similar situation with big, big contracts for a select few players. They need to… -

Re: Starting a new series - Standing Liberty Quarters in VF35 - Count: 23 (62% complete)
Update: After a long dry spell, I was finally able to pick up a few more VF35s, both on eBay … a 29-S and 30-P. These common late dates are tough. Not many floating around in 35 plastic. There was also a 17-P Type 2 on eBay for a while, but the price was too steep, and I couldn’t work a deal via Make An Offer. Passed on a…
