Yes, I remember...it was debt owned by Americans and we were talking the American economy. Zamiba's GDP is under $30 billion, or about 1/10th of...
42 bids for a coin worth melt ? :wideyed: OMG.....wonder how many unique bidders from the 42.
They still do, they hold about 2/3rds of the stock. Insiders at CLCT only hold about 3% of the company. So they must know something about job...
We have to see what the growth is this year. Did they just pull demand forward like all the at-home plays or is this a SECULAR change with folks...
It's a duopoly, though the duopoloy on high-end auctions (Sotheby's, Christies) has somewhat been invaded for certain items by Heritage and a few...

Well, some pretty smart guys just paid 3X FMV over a few months ago to buy the entire damn company. :D That's a pretty good bet that they like...
PCGS and NGC are like Sotheby's and Christies....it's a natural duopoloy and probably won't be cracked by any serious 3rd party entrant.
I would say that NGC and PCGS are in the pole position for grading and collectibles that is NOT based on size but on reputation and expertise....
I personally didn't see that, and I actually bought some notes graded by PCGS Currency. I think their reputation was pretty close to PMG. It's...
