"Collectors Price guide"

Funny you should use that line. I described exactly that view to someone even "more like me than I am", if you get my drift. He looked at me like I was high. He couldn't relate to transportation and acquisition as budget items in tension. He views them as completely symbiotic.

I suppose I am lucky on several counts. I live in an area that competes with ANYWHERE on low airfares or train fares, generally. Most places are very cheap to get to for me. This coming Denver ANA was looking like the exception, until the Frontier Airlines emails started popping.

Thanks much. I can see it as a useful resource for SOME of what I do, but not my "wheelhouse".

 

Auctions are easy when you know what will be in it. Just look them up ahead of time and write it down to bring a cheat sheet with you for the ones you are interested in

 

I want you to know that usually I go into an auction having seen NOTHING but descriptions, very tiny brief ones - no pictures. It all goes down with live preview time. Then it's "go" time.

 

Yup, that's what ends up happening. I use a color code of marker swipes. Orange is an "I need one of these" coin, and I'll have a max bid for each grade it could POSSIBLY be (a range around what they say it is). Yellow is a "check this in case it's a variety they didn't attribute" coin. Green is a "Be cool, fool," coin. It denotes a coin that SHOULD be above my range, but it may "sleep".
