Howdy!

I've been a "Graded" Sports Card collector for the last 12 years (non graded since 1980ish) and im a regular on many card forums.  Not sure why, but in the last month i began to think about coins.   Figured..... eh, read up on it, you know about slabs and such, give it a go.   Well, what an awakening!  SOOOOO much to learn, only 24hrs in a day! LOL

i still don't know how much i'll get into it, but as a hobby-ist, it's always good to learn new things.   Won my first coin about three weeks back on eBay, a 64 JFK PCGS63.  Ran me $12.52/dlvd.   Not the best of shape, but better looking (to these untrained eyes) then the raws that seem to sell for $9ish.  At the very least i own a 90% silver coin, and i get to see what the slabs are like in person.

TPGs may "cost more" when buying, and heaven knows they are not perfect, but they offer a certain peace of mind when buying, especially online.

i like the idea of buying Modern 1oz Silver Coins in MS69s.  Like anything else in life, It all depends on price point.  if i can get a MS69 for $7 over spot delivered, i think that's pretty cool.

i do not buy MS70s because of the real fear of spots, which kill the 70. (of course if they are at spot, i'll risk it! LOL)

i don't have much interest in old coins, but one never knows, that may change sometime.  

Anywho, that you for having me here and taking the time to read my dribble :)

If you ever have any sports card questions, i'd be glad to help the best i can.
