I would go further and say every new collector should own a redbook, (assuming US coin collector). Its a great wealth of knowledge on one small...
Its fine, lots of people do it. :) You will have some very expensive coins at the end to collect, however. Another problem is there are lots of...
I am always a fan of type collections, especially for newer collectors. Excellent recommendation. :)
Yeah, Frank Robinson used this coin in his book as an example why you should just call if you get a list and it has something good on it. He said...
The only possible answer is to collect what you love. Many reasons: 1. You get a better "return" from the hobby in the form of enjoyment. 2....
Cherd, two things. One, all price guides are historical. The greysheet is historical, but more accurate since its more current historical....
Academic Senate. Ouch. I once heard someone describe the ferocity of Academic debates as being due to so little at stake. In business, there...
Personally I use distilled water and change the water every few days. You can get it for free from runoff from AC or dehumidifiers. I never found...
...yet everyone wants one. :) I get this all of the time with ancients, people asking me "how do I tell how much its worth"? I recommend Sear,...

We give them that "power", they were not asking for it Inflexion. Their markets are all about their customers, and their needs. They are not...
I spoke perfectly clear. It is your misunderstanding. Most contracts are offset, thereby the person making them does not need to physically...
331,332,333. Thanks for the contest. I just became a dad 9 months ago, I know the feelings you are experiencing. :)
I never said ANYTHING about quality. I never said I asked CME officials how great their market is, how great it works, etc. My butcher analogy I...
The open interest is the volume of actual commodity. Lets say there is you, me, and Jim in the market. You and I make a contract, so there are 2...
A few may get delivered, but the vast majority do not. I never said none, just the vast majority. Well, we can disagree on the second point...
1000% factually incorrect. The vast majority of ALL commodity contracts are never delivered, and are simply offset. A farmer "sells" his corn on...
I am saying the markets are a hedging mechanism, not a place where the good physcially change hands. Talk to all of the traders, CME officials,...
