<p>[QUOTE="bahabully, post: 1078568, member: 17555"]This may be the first thread in a very long time which I could say...... everyone is right. or at least directionally correct.... and it's only in the extreme of each persons argument where problems can be pointed to.. Usually I can stand on one side of an issue within a thread and enjoy a heated debate, but really can't find my footing in this one.</p><p> </p><p>Anyway,,, Interesting thread, and I fully disagree with no one that I've seen post.</p><p> </p><p>All the comparative stuff motivated me to check a few 13D's out.. There's one on the 'bay closing today that I was watching closely until it peaked over $200 (pcgs ms63 rb).. right in my sweet spot, so decided to check out HC 13'd archives and current offerings..... most of the HC archived 13d sales were old, but significantly "lower" than $200 with the exception of one old pcgs slab that had much more Red than the one on the 'bay..... If anything, this observation has opened my eyes abit more with respect to the need to do more comparative shopping before dialing too far into any single offering on any site, I'm not watching the 'bay 13D anymore and am now tracking a few sharp AU's and a couple MS's 13d's on HC... how they close will tell me alot (maybe the FUN cents were just overblown by an excessively large audience)... </p><p>.. that said, and with respect to super deals and getting quality coins at "dealer" costs or below,,, I don't think you'll do it effectively anywhere else but the 'bay.. and it's about one a year, maybe two,, provided you put in hundreds of hours of work, my personnal routine is an hour a day, sometimes more... ~300-500 hrs per year..... anyone wanna translate that to days sitting on my <span style="color: red">edited</span> annually. ; )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
