Re: Updated with inline pics: Picked up an old poured silver bar. Hoping someone could help identify it.
Originally posted by: PerryHall I had no problem with the links. I don't see a decimal point between the 24 and the 57. Could this be a serial number? Did you weigh your bar to see if it actually weighs 24.57 ozs? Is the word "SILVER" shown anywhere on your bar? Is the a manufacturer's name or logo shown anywhere on your… -
Re: FAVRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe the Eagles will trade up in the draft. Who do the Bucs have to start when Simms goes down again? Cade McCown? Luke McCown? Shemp McCown? Can't forget that proven vet backup, Tim Rattay. How much better is their O line this year? Simms is practicing the new 9 step drop as we speak. Scamper back, make sure you… -
Re: Dear Glamour Shot ...
Slammer: Don't get me wrong, you always look good...too good. You never have a bad hair day. Your cheek looks smooth as a baby's bottom even though I know it's pockmarked. Your fields look smooth and glassy but I know that they're scratched and littered with dirt. You always insist on showing me that "just so" tilt that… -
Re: Silver over $14 today?
<< <i>Namely, a couple of kooks trying to corner the market. Kooks? Hardly. As businessmen the Hunts took advantage of a paper dominated market that was supposed to be a metals market. The only reason they didn't win is because those who had rigged the markets were getting killed. Hence the rules were changed to protect… -
Re: Thanks... or NOT for the entertainment!
Dragon. I salute you for your 99% courage in uncovering and reporting to this board your find. I have known you to be an outstanding member of this board for a great deal of time. What I don't see (1%) of courage, in you admitting that you did contact bidders and know that this was wrong. General note here: I see this… -
Re: How to get TTM autographs on cards
Mike - I hope you don't mind me adding a couple of tips from and old-school TTM guy. 1) Especially with older players, you'll do well to hand write your requests. AND BE POLITE! The words "pleae" and "thank you" can go a long way to insure success. Yeah, it's real easy to mail merge 1000 requests on your computer, but the… -
Re: 1970s OPCs Undervalued? Look!
I just had to agree 100% with what 97% of the board members had to say. This guy ruins the auctions by bidding far above the value to make sure he gets his item at any cost. When he runs into another bidder doing the same thing, his wonderful plan of attack falls apart. Besides entering his amount and hitting enter, he had… -

Re: Does anyone have a picture of Izzy Switt?
I saw a VERY interesting show, on the Smithsonian channel....titled 'Hunt for The Double Eagle'. Anyone else see it? Very interesting piece in the tracking down of the '33 Double Eagles. Seems the 'chief cashier' named George McCann admittited to stealing coins from the Mint in Philly, and did a year in the slammer...,… -
Re: I have a question for those of you who think MOC is evil incarnate.
Walter was in a completely different league. He was not one bit apologetic for his transgressions. But they had nothing to do with coins except for the victims who were YNs or kids of fellow numismatists. MoC's problem wasn't just what he did to the coins and hte buyers. He wasn't man of coins enough to stand up and admit…
