My Mood: | HSN "What A Deal"
Channel flipping trying to find the NASCAR race came across HSN, with, get this, all 4 2009 Lincoln cents, proof, graded PR70, by ANACS. All this for only 139.95 + $8.95 S&H.
Sales pitch is that the proofs are 100 time rarer than the production cents, and the PR70 is 100 time rarer than the average proof.
Found the race it's on TNT

Aren't the PF70's going for like $400 a set on ebay, graded by NGC?
I know everything you buy on HSN is a crock, but the log cabin pennies were good deals when they started out, two MS67's, P and D, then two Rolls one P and D, then the red oak presentation box for less than $50. (If you ask me that was one heck of a deal, for what the 67's go for now graded by PCGS and NGC)
Me personally, I wouln't buy from HSN or recommend it to anybody

Heyyyyyyyy Aaaaaabbott!
Love those guys. One of my favorites was when Costello's uncle struck gold in Alaska and sent a telegram, Struck Gold. Need Help. Come Quick.
Bud and Lou go through the U-Drive routine to save money on the travel, finally after getting to Alaska they find Lou's uncle in jail. His explanation was, " yea I struck gold, Sam Gold, the Sheriff"

My favorites are "The time of their lives" and "Hold that Ghost".

Me personally, I wouln't buy from HSN or recommend it to anybody | For once, that was actually a reasonable deal. It also included two free ANACS grading certificates.
