<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2779452, member: 27832&quot;]OMG -- The Sticker King!!! (29957blue, aka &quot;Zack&#039;s&quot;, used to post photos of coins in 2x2s covered with stickers. The one I remember is &quot;Less than 3 pizzas!&quot;, referring to the price, not the amount of cheese in the ad, I think.) I remember getting annoyed at him because he&#039;d spam hundreds (thousands?) of new listings in one batch, drowning out the stuff I was looking for. He certainly isn&#039;t the only one, though.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t see his listings any more because he doesn&#039;t do BIN and I rarely search on anything else. I just had a look at his store, and it looks like he&#039;s taken the volume <i>way</i> down, and given up the stickers.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like your (ex-) collection. I completed my set a while back, but I wasn&#039;t nearly as discerning as you, so it&#039;s got quite a lot of problem coins, and very little consistency. I did send the two nicest ones to ANACS (the 1909-S got XF40, the 1901-S got XF40 details), and I&#039;ve got a few in the VF range, but I&#039;ve got quite a few slicks, especially for the early keys.</p><p><br /></p><p>Funny thing: most of them came in lots from eBay&#039;s coinsantiques.18, one of the eBay fronts for <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/thr-associates.205515/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/thr-associates.205515/">THR Associates</a> before their spectacular implosion. So there&#039;s a little bit of ickiness attached to them, given that they were probably obtained through deceptive business practices -- but that kind of ick is pretty darn prevalent in our hobby, I&#039;m afraid. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
