Re: Breens Encyclopedia Arrived~~short report
Realone May 21, 2010 I read that he had financial problems and needed to quickly finish the book by filling it with false info in order to stay afloat. That is what I meant when using the word fraud. In addition since a writer of such text needs to act in a fiduciary manner since collectors will be relying on his info I… -
Re: Like the NFL REALLY cares about the air pressure in the balls.......
Let me pile on. When Deflate-gate happened I stated that Brady should sue the NFL. Many wondered on what grounds. How about these grounds? The sound you hear is the air being let out of Goodell's head a couple of snipet's And despite the NFL stripping New England of a first-round pick, fining it $1 million and millions of… -
Re: FAQ for you: Acronyms (e.g. TTT, BIN, DMPL)
This list stolen from here coingrading.com Adjustment Marks - Scratches which appear mostly on pre-1807 silver and gold coinage. These scratches were file marks, , made at the mint in order to reduce the weight of a coin so that its metal value wouldn't exceed its face value. As such, adjustment marks do not reduce the… -
Re: Coin collectors and Crypto
My chief argument for not using it is trust and what has occurred over the last year and the last week has shown crypto hasn't earn that trust. Another reason it has failed and will continue to do so is governments and those that control the current monetary policy. No entity that threatens that control will survive. A… -
Re: Huge theft at the Dallas Card show today.
Completely agree! Frankly, it seems to me that the owner was quite lackadaisical with a suitcase containing a million dollars worth of cards. The suitcase was even in the back of the display area and nobody was even watching it. Perhaps being in the venue gave him a false sense of security, which was a costly mistake on… -
Re: Device for coin photography at ANA show
I spoke with them for quite a while. Their goal was to make a self-contained, desktop lighting device that someone that's not all that skilled or interested in the finer points of photography could use to quickly image coins for a business using a phone or point 'n' shoot where throughput was most important. Solving the… -
Compare these Morgan MS64+ DMPLs
I’m looking for a DMPL CC Morgan. I prefer sticking to a common date variety since it’s more within my price range. The 64+ grade is interesting in that it falls between two grades that see a significant price increase, so in my mind, there is more potential for it to be more easily regarded as a higher grade by the right… -
Re: test
In the Kingdom of Coinalot, things are quiet. Very quiet. Tomb-like quiet. Silence of the Lambs quiet. Really, really. really quiet. In fact, the only sound that is heard is the humming of the castle spiders as they weave their silken webs: Spider One: Oh, what a tangled web we weave! Spider Two: ...(muttering) Dumbass. At… -
Re: What's with the lack of action.
I don't track the prices on cards that much, but recently checked the PSA estimate on the ones I have listed there on my collection. I was shocked at how much they've gone up in value in the year since I'd last checked. Mine are 99% vintage. I think the new grading standards have made any vintage go up in value a lot in… -
Re: 1982 Topps baseball traded set case - Ripken rookie.
Your guy is a "huge Orioles fan". This is the key to the question to me. Also curious if he's wealthy. This guy hit a home run on an investment. Does he care about the money, or not? First, to answer your question, you will get between 0 and 5 PSA 10's if you opened all 100 sets. My guess would be 2 or 3, but 0 or 1 is a…
