In the spirit of furthering this discussion and also transparency in this discussion, I will provide a "negative" example acquisition

Ok…I’m just a small time collector here. I don’t like selling any coin for a loss; however, I won’t hesitate to do so to free up most of that money to put towards other coins. This strategy is based on the fact that all of my cumul…
As an end-user, Customer, I fully enjoy what JB bring to the market, as well as the enthusiasm he brings to coin collecting. It is much needed and much appreciated.
The DLH and DLRC relationship, I dunno ?

He has been selling a bunch of duplicates through DLRC for some time now, most of them are sub par. Based on a few PCGS registry sets I’ve seen, he appears to be re-positioning them, maybe with CACG? As far as; “hurting the mark…

This came back recently after 3 months mellowing patiently in queue in SoCal with XF Details - Scratched in the database though labelled as “Gouged” on the insert. Looking for feedback
Interesting information here, did not have time to absorb all the details (yet). Wanted to say though that I think the opportunity to interact with someone on the grading team is a wonderful opportunity and one I hope all can appreciate. So much to…

I was not aware of this Thanks for sharing
A lot has changed in this Hobby. Not that many years ago I was filling out carbon copy 3-ply forms to submit to CAC stickering. This is a hobby where advances can have a huge impact but it is also a conservative pursuit, by nature Pun intended
