I still get excited for new episodes and I've watched all 50. I learn something new in each one.

[Berena]

One the best shows of the whole set. I really enjoyed the look back at the previous auction highlights. Seeing the results provides a good continuity between episodes. The candor, humor, and expertise are what I’m here for. 🎉

Congratulations for the 50th episode. I watch you guys since the first one

Congrats on #50 podcast 🤩! Your auction reviews are especially helpful for us collectors who may not have the time to cover all the important auctions taking place 😉.

Ah darn, I thought I had notifications set....I do now .
Hello Mike, Aaron !

[brooksrownd]

Interesting comments on the grading service notes. As a novice I love slabbed coins, and just enjoy the coin regardless of the grade. (The only thing I'd really care about seeing on the slab is identification and authentication.) But I can see how a person with a mind to sell/trade may have a distaste for the "gambling" on the judgement of the grading services.

First off, CONGRATULATIONS on 50! Here’s a thought: Aaron you ought to set up a PPV discussion/debate with David Vagi over at NGC. I would buy that show…….Just a thought. Good luck, guys, for the next 50. Best wishes as always, Fred from Esmont, VA

[whitefriarnerd]

Here's to 50 more, and please take your time. Better to do the podcast sustainably than burn out trying to feed the algorithm.

I despise all these companies that are slabbing ancients; they seem so shady.

[markcooper]

Doesn't NGC have NCS, their coin "conservation" service? Do they basically condemn any coin they didn't work on?
