Re: Ebay Selling Advice
One of the big decisions is how you set up the starting price. A $1 start will absolutely get you the most attention. It will probably also get you the highest final price. But you can also get burned badly with that approach. If you know the market very well, I suspect the absolute best approach is to price things so high… -
Re: Next chapter of my life - Military
Old person advice: * Thank you. * Get a bank (checking and savings) account with USAA (and/or NFCU if you are near a Navy base). They understand. * Sign up for the TSP, even if it's just a little bit. Combat pay can bump up your contributions. Have a little tucked away even at the beginning, time is on your side. Either… -

Re: The Greatest Quarterback of All Time
i'm partial to Rex Grossman. anybody who can be that BAD and still somehow quarterback his team to the Super Bowl, has experienced greatness. if you measure the incredible accumulation of BAD that Grossman managed throughout his career vs. that temporary rise to a higher plateau, i believe that makes him the Greatest… -
Re: What Makes a Coin Special?
Bill, not sure where the put down is but I was being sincere in the hope you find one. Your search is adding to the story of the coin once you add it to your collection. Let's be a little less sensitive. You don't know me. Best of luck! Have the forum members become so cynical that wishing someone good luck is now a… -
Re: 2005 Sacagawea SF grades received
<< <i>No 69s -- Sucks To Be You. >> This is definitely a time when you'd rather have a "you suck" for getting a high grade *score* than a it sucks to be you for a disappointing grade... How did the 64 differ from the others, endzone? Don -
Re: then vs. now
Thanx for the nteresting topic. I’m probably coming at it from a slightly different angle since I was buying packs in the 1950s, but I honestly didn’t think of myself as a “collector” at the time. The cards were just part of being a kid. We flipped them, traded them, stuck them in bicycle spokes, carried them around in our… -

Fancy descriptions: Were you ever so impressed by a dealer's description of a coin that it stuck in
I have to admit that I've learned some new words by reading dealers' descriptions of coins. For instance, there are some colors that I never knew existed... Some descriptions are like poetry, and the person who did the writing is obviously very talented. Can you give examples of some unique, creative ways that you've seen… -
Re: To sell, or not to sell?
Great advice for what you have, and how to consider selling. I may have missed it but the "giant quarters" (i.e. "pucks") are 5 ounces Silver, and the Eagles are 1 ounce. I'm all-in for the suggestion for listing on the BST. Ask if the member has references if you are asked to ship first. Then ask a few people in this…
