Message:: [QUOTE="vwap, post: 285216, member: 10114"]Do they really sell out when they say they do? (We only have 400 sets, and they're 60% gone! ... and then I watch as the ticker tick its way toward their magic "sellout" number) Goodness they're full of crap.. heh. (No, I'm not about to buy anything from HSN <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Just watching for the heck of it..) And 2007 Uncirculated Mint Sets being sold already, "First Day Of Issue." They had "thousands!" of sets graded, 297 sets graded "SP69". These are ICG graded. There're 28 coins in a set, let's say 1500 sets, or 42,000 coins. How is it humanly possible for ICG to have competently graded 42,000 coins in ONE DAY? That seems rather excessive... Even at 10 seconds per coin (pulled that number out of my rear. I've no clue how long it takes to grade a coin), that's almost 117 hours, or about 15 people grading for 8 hours nonstop. And Presidential dollars? PF70 sets! Buy now! There's a 99% chance they're going to move the edge lettering off the edge next year! 99%! ... I was under the impression they already decided to keep the edge lettering? Was I imagining things when I heard this? See, this is what happens when no sports are on -- I end up watching HSN. Yikes...[/QUOTE]
