<p>[QUOTE="JCB1983, post: 1346353, member: 23885"]<span style="color: #008000"><b>I just want to throw this out there. It is certainly more of a feeling/opinion than fact. I am feeling something in the eBay Franklin trends. It is starting to pick up dramatically. I thought about making a youtube video about this, but didn't want to bore anyone. If you look at the price guides from 1990-91 you will see Franklins at mostly less than 5 dollars. I believe there are still a fair amount of raw franklins that are FBL/DDO-DDR. At some point in time PCGS became lax on spotting errors. Not sure if this is because people didn't request it, or if they had heavy volume comming in, or what? It has been pointed out that there are a number of regular slabbed PCGS Franklins that have doubling. People on eBay are starting to catch on. In an attempt to win a Franklin in which I thought there was reverse doubling (States) I sniped somone at 9 seconds. I was re-snipped at 4 seconds and lost the bid. There was a slightly toned 1953-S FBL Frank that was realized at upwards of 10k within the last two months. I cannot find the link, but maybe some of you recall. Even regular run of the muck Frankies are getting insane action (especially OGH). Check out this auction that just ended 10 minutes ago.</b></span></p><p><span style="color: #008000"><b></b></span><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/320825233584?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/320825233584?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/320825233584?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649</a> (Top Rated eBayer)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is another brilliant example that raised some eyebrows.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1959-FRANKLIN-PCGS-PROOF-69-Virtually-Flawless-/180786426724?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item2a17b5f364" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1959-FRANKLIN-PCGS-PROOF-69-Virtually-Flawless-/180786426724?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item2a17b5f364" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/1959-FRANKLIN-PCGS-PROOF-69-Virtually-Flawless-/180786426724?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item2a17b5f364</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please feel free to comment.
