hype… hype…. hype
I wonder how many you ordered, JOE #2…
I love baseball, and love coin collecting so don’t really care that much about the “investment” part of it. Do you think there will be more curved designs? Hard to pick a better idea than a baseball – baseball glove combo.
Eddie… I was a Yankee and Met fan for years. I love baseball like anyone else. I have been in the coin collecting business since the early 70/s. It’s a mockery what’s happening today with coin collecting with these outrageous coin prices charging approx: $1,000 for a 1/4 ounce piece of gold. Today with first strikes, early releases and all the other bs things going on today, imo, this destroyed the coin collecting business by inflating these coins to outrageous prices.

JOE #2, Thanks for replying. I agree with everything you say, however if the public is “stupid” enough to go get them from those websites, so who is at fault?

I understand and agree with you point Eddie. Enjoy the coins…
The reason i didn’t buy any was because of the 90% gold and 90% silver. I won’t pay these prices for 90% as well as the coins down the road possibly can get carbon/ copper spots. Store the coins well..
Hey Joe, I use to think that .999 gold was free from copper spots till they started showing up on my sealed gold pandas and 1/10oz proof buffalo.
I never had any issues on my .9999 gold buffalo’s. I have heard issues on the .999 gold pandas. I have seen also 1 gold proof buffalo with the reddish orange spots.
