A complete list of certification services- ILLUSTRATED!

I kind of liked how it showed when you had nominated posts or the like, but that's what prompted he who must not be named to abuse the snot out of it.

I sincerely HOPE that Peter isn't playing with the board today, it's a Holiday for most.

Me too, I hope he's taking the day off and enjoying the holiday.

 

Unless he's Jewish like Ruben and myself, in which case he's got 2 choices today... Chinese Food and wait till the Movies open around 7pm.

 

I'm honestly not familiar with the Jewish celebration of Chanukah or it's traditions. My understanding is it is a celebration of the re-dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem, but other than that I know nothing about the holiday. Happy Chanukah though.

 

LOL...Happy Chanukah!

 

I'm working tonight. Really, Christmas is a non-event at home.

It is good day for weddings. I was married on Christmas

 

You basically got it It was not considered an especially important Holiday, and technically still isn't, but it's a festival that comes close to Christmas.. soo......

It's got a few more days to go. In the interim I'm playing with some coins

 

I hope you do. My website is for helping collectors, and if you can publish a book that helps other, then I'm glad my website can help. I will also offer free advertising for your book. Just keep in touch and any new grading companies that you find, please let me know. I would like to add as many as possible. Thanks

 

For those of you that don't know, Conder101 literally wrote the book on the topic of this thread. Thank you Conder for all the help over the years.

 

Whats the name of the book?

 

Isn't Passover the most important holiday in the Jewish Faith? If memory serves, it occurs in the spring. Around the same time as Easter (which is the most important holiday in the Christian Faith).

 

Shabbos is.... Rosh Hashona, Yom Kippur, Succos, and Passover ae all second..

Ruben

 

Third Party Grading/Certification Companies & Slab/Certificate Varieties published in 2003 and has been out of print for about 3 years. The book listed the companies (82 of them), what I know about them, and when they were in operation. Then it listed all of the varieties of holder/certificates they had issued (231 production varieties, plus Sample slab varieties, Novelty slab varieties, Presentation slab varieties, and Body bag varieties. There was also a chapter on Miscellaneous material.) Over 95% of all the varieties are pictured both front and back in larger than actual size B/W images. (over 600 pictures, about 85% of them from my personal reference collection), 436 pages. I've been slowly working on an updated version which is up to over 150 companies now and over 350 production varieties. I keep hoping to get it finished but I am still not ready to publish and I keep getting pressure from people for copies of the book so I may have to have a third print run made of the first edition.

I don't want to because if I do I would want to wait at least two years before I published the second edition ( not fair to the purchasers of the first edition to then immediately come out with a second edition) and there is a LOT of new information that really need to get published.

 

Ruben is Shabbos and Shabbat the same?

 

Yes - Different Hebrew Dialects.
