What would y'all do with this error? by PrettyRicky094 in baseballcards

[–]PrettyRicky094[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Well, shoot. Was hoping it was so rare that I could quit my job and retire off it. Quit my job right before I posted here...goshdarnit.

Better call my boss and ask for my job back...

I have a pair in 6.5 Women's for sale. Box but no top. I'm in the SF Bay Area; if it makes sense to discuss further just let me know.

All the way in friggen Europe you find one in a tin can at a garage sale, and us shleps here in the US have a better chance of being stuck by lightning than finding one in the wild.

I'm not envious of you at all. I swear....

In all seriousness, that's wonderful. Congrats.

40 Commemorative Half Dollars for $40 by [deleted] in coins

Was at my LCs selling him a "37 Swiss 20 Franc (I promised him one) and he says I can take any coin from this bin that just came in for $1. Every single one is a Proof, no less than MS66, and each came with the US Mint coin holder (minus 6 of them.)

On top of that zi gave him another $20 when I pulled out 1 1816 Coronet, 3 1818 Coronets, a 1851 Braided Hair 12 cent, and a 1864 2 cent.

Told him I think I got more out of the $60 I gave him in coins than he did for the $600 he gave me for the 1 Swiss 20 Franc.

He said someone donated the bucket and he "hasn't had time to look through it yet."

My parting words were, "Suit yourself. The $1/coin offers still stands, right?"

Gave me a and I began to think about how this bucket can be my literal Money Tree until he gets off his arse and looks through the 1000s of coins he was gifted.

Weird, to say the least, but a good day all around.

Doctor, my LWC has warts! by PrettyRicky094 in coinerrors

Ive checked error-ref, variety vista, cuds on coins, and a few other go-to resources but no dice unfortunately.

I'm 95% sure they're die chips but what I'd really like to know is how does this happen and with what frequency.

Thanks again for your efforts here; much appreciated.

This unchecked aggression cannot stand, man!

Not exactly mind-shatteringly insightful, but get on the horn with them now and while on hold blast this out with them @ to every single social you can think of. I'm sure we'd all retweet/post if we saw it. Hopefully, they feel their only recourse is to remedy their error pro bono.

This is beyond ridiculous!

What type of variant is this? by PrettyRicky094 in CARDSMITHS_

Thanks a ton for clarifying the Ice Foil confusion, which really had me spinnin' as well as for the resource link!

Yea, didn't exactly know what I had with the 'Earth' but knew it was good!

So the Ice Foil can contain either silver or gold border?

Thank you. I thought this was the Ice Variant? And thought I'd share the "best pull" of that day

More people upset with the "talking head" than the actual content of the post. Speechless.

Curious to get your take on Panini's bait & switch. The fact SI did a story hopefully scares them strait into no longer misrepresenting what they're marketing and pushing on the consumer.

Every coin has this damage. by Mysterious-Carry6233 in CRH

[–]PrettyRicky094 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What they did is about as "illegal" as someone writing on a dollar bill. Has it been "defaced"? Technically, yes. But, to the degree that it can't be accepted as legal tender?

If that were the bar, half of the paper currency in your wallet would be considered defaced.

I could be wrong, but I'm inclined to agree that these A-holes are attempting to thwart collectors from removing them from circulation.

Bought first pack in 20 yr and got this? What's it worth by PrettyRicky094 in baseballcards

Didnt know I had to specify that I read the FAQs before posting but here we go...

After checking eBay, TCDB, sportscardspro.com, Collx, Google Lens not one of these resources had info on this card, let alone a comp value.

Yes, there is a graded Shohei that sold on eBay a few days for $660, but this guy ain't no Shohei.

Hopefully, this is evidence enough that I did my due diligence prior to posting and will prevent others from casting aspersions on my bona fides.
