Where else can one go to see the incredible range of your collecting interests running the gamut from Koalas to Kookaburras, and everything in between!  Keep 'em coming!  Love the way your ever-vigilant avatar, Pistol Pete keeps a 24/7 watch over everything!  🤣

Thanks QA your right.  My collecting habits pretty much run the gambits

Yes, like the ones I saw advertised last night at 4 AM...."Only 340,000 minted, not millions.....with only several thousand in the valuable Mint State, your About Uncirculateds are the next best thing.....here you can see being offered for sale for $3,000 on Ebay.....yours here for only 2 payments of $199.99.  Limit 10 per household.  Order now, operators are STANDING* by."

I wonder why "operators" have to stand?

I wonder who they stand-by

[Henri Charriere]

My take on "stand by" is in the wake of all the quick sell-outs experiences by collectors elsewhere, there is no waiting. Operators are available to take your calls for orders immediately.  It's merely a way to indicate their telephone operators are ready when you're ready. a  typical advertising ploy. Strict limits, in this case, 10 per household, are one of the tools in their arsenal to get you to avoid procrastinating, and act quickly.

I have always wondered how strictly these arbitrary limits are enforced.

By the TV schlocks? Every room is a "household" as is every individual credit card charge.
