well not everybody is going to have there notes graded by experts, so your only
Going to have those ones that are, maybe there are higher grades out there maybe
Maybe not so what we our left with is the ones that are TPG and thats what we have
To go off of, always if and,s or buts if i was a mind reader i would be a $1,000,000
air, fact of the matter is i have several high grade notes for example my Series 661
$20 in 68PPQ this is a top pop and has a population of 1, when you say 5 years down the road well this note was graded way back in 2004 so almost 13 Years later
it,s still the one and only, another example my Series 681 $10 in 69PPQ was graded
in 2007 thats almost 10 Years ago so your theory doesnt really hold water though i can appreciate your opinion my examples speak for themselves i have more as
well if you need more proof, and book populations are not accurate, millions of dollars of MPC was destroyed especially in the Vietnam era notes 641,661,681
but i dont need to tell you this, you all ready know

i disagree, not really in it to make a profit but if i see opportunity i will take it, just like everybody else, and i have had allot of my notes for 10 plus years and everyone
has increased in value the TPG market and the Raw one are two diffirent animals

 

Most certainly not a best guess, its a fact here,s an example of a sale i made to
Jeff Smith who is a well know MPC collector at PCGS, sold him several notes including this combination for $3,200 Series 641 $10 68PPQ (Top Pop 1) and
Series 641 25 Cents in 68PPQ (Top pop 1) please feel free to visit the PCGS
Registry for verification.

no, not defensive just trying to explain where im coming from and yes thanks
for your opinions

 

a note's value can differ greatly because of the population or the lack there of


There must be many notes too common for anyone to have had one graded. Grade one of these and you have a top pop note with a population of 1, and therefore great value by the reasoning above.

But at the same time you still have a common note.

And as stated, if a few other holders of the note you have decide to get them graded, they become more common and less valuable. Despite there being no changes in the actual rarity of the note. The more people jump on this particular band wagon, the higher the population number becomes.

Therefore a 'top pop' note can only decline in value if the value depends on the item being the only one graded.

And lastly, the difference between a 65 and a 64 is more a matter of opinion than any clearly measurable factor, it may depend on whether the grader has had his morning coffee as much as any substantive difference in notes of 64 and 65 grades.

 

Often the difference between a 64 65 66 67 is based on centering which is discernible regardless of the coffee intake. If you put a 65 66 and 67 side by side you will see the centering difference.

 

your not grasping the concept here, obviously, and allot of the notes i have are far
From common many have super low populations to begin with let alone the burning
Of several million dollars of them in Vietnam (please read my previous posts)

Many of the top pops i have, have been that way for over 10 years !! some in the 13
To 15 year range and they have trippled in value, i appreciate your opinion but your
Rules do not apply in this situation.
