i have read a few of the things people have said in regards to what this "journal" is for....

well im not too sure what certain peoples problems are with my journal on raw coin submissions and auction house submissions

to me the journal is a place where a can share my experiences in collecting..whether good or bad i put them up my thoughts for people to read....you choose whether to read this or not and im not forcing anyone to read my journal...infact if you dont like my journals then please dont read them

my journal is also a great place for me to go back too see what i was doing and thinking at a certain time in regards to my collecting ie changing directions , what submissions are working for me, my furstrations etc etc etc

i think telling people, who ever wants to read of course, about my dealings with people on ebay and what the results from submissions from auction houses and ebay sellers are is a good thing...i would want to know if i was reading someone elses journal if an auction house was accurate with there gradings or whether a certain person knowingly sells cleaned coins while stating MS

I want people to tell me these things otherwise where else will i learn them? im not in the "inner circle" of dealers and the bourse floor im just a simple collector who has invested quite alot of money in my collection(although u wouldnt know due to 2/3 of my sets being deleted! and me being to lazy to add them back )

So basically ive started to loose my train of thought again.......thats right...i want more people to tell me whos good, whos bad, who fixes customer complaints happily etc etc etc

And to the person who doesnt need to send there coins in to see if they have been cleaned , then you sir have a better eye then me and most other people who have submitted quite alot of coins because im sure there are plenty of others out there who have received the infamous "body bag" improperly cleaned grading from NGC when they thought the coin they sent in was nothing but a great MS

or maybe im just needing glasses and everyone can see what i cant(and no there wasnt any visable hairlines or anything under a 5x loupe on the coin in reference that i sent in..still dont know why it was body bagged but thanks to the great ebay seller i wasnt stuck with an expensive cleaned coin).

anyway enoughs enough happy collecting to all
