Baseball21 nailed it. What you see now is a true market. The TPGs weren't founded until the mid 80s. I got my first crappy cell phone in 1999....
Time for an NGC scratch resistant cross-over. Drop off at LCS next time you're there and piggyback their shipping.
The hobby's always dying but I keep waiting for prices to come down! I just re-valued what I have yesterday. Some stuff goes up some goes...
Yeah the PCGS ban flared up a while back. Like what a couple years ago? Some people quit once this happened. At first they grandfathered the...
I think I do for a multitude of reasons. I too love the history and designs. But I also like the accumulating aspect of it. The store of...
I recently bought a couple 64-Ps in pristine BU condition for $8 a piece off ebay, shipped. That was too high of a price for current silver...

I have a Mitutoyo and a Lyman. Trust them both. The toyo is higher quality.
I have a love/hate relationship with the NGC star designation. To me the vast majority of stars I've seen were toned Morgans and various blast...

Paypal Bill Me Later is basically a 6 month interest free layaway that I bet gets used heavily here.
