Great Collections in California has weekly auctions ending Sunday evenings. They usually have a smattering of mid range and QE2 prooflikes, all certified. Shipping to Canada has been suspended due to the CP strike.

That 58 is a beauty......looks like a nice old time collection. I remember buying those blue coin folders about 1970.

Duties are a different subjectd, but Fedex has been collecting the GST and PST based on the grading fees my last 3 orders.

In all likelihood, it's the courier company that does the PST/GST/HST calculation, and I know Fedex has been assessing taxes from PCGS orders based on the grading fees, not insured values. Fedex must be getting pressure from a desperate CAD Gov't to collect these amounts, and Fedex doesn't care, they just want the package to keep moving.

I'm usually a sucker for the older designs but I remember the tribbles from Star Trek looking differently.

I'm a MC member but haven't bought anything in a couple of years. The 1oz gold coins can be bought in the aftermarket, in a PCGS or NGC 70 holder for about $1,000 less than the RCM's price.

I know KSA from sports cards....in my experience of re-grading cards from KSA to PSA, is that KSA is overly generous.

Silver maples make a heck of a racket when you dump them in the bathtub with a bucket.

These pirates come thru every so often here in Vancouver. They must do ok in smaller towns where there is no LCS.....but seriously, the amounts they offer are almost criminal. They probably get a lot of stolen stuff that LCS and pawn shops won't touch.

I've noticed since September, anything clearing thru MIssissauga (which is everything) from ebay, is attracting GST/PST regardless of the value of the item....and of course the $9.95 brokerage fee.

I've noticed the past couple of months, anything passing thru Mississauga (sp) CP is attracting taxes and of course their handling fee.......
I'm talking about my ebay purchases from those sellers not in the ebay shipping service (which guarantees the taxes are collected and package's journey takes an extra week).
