Should I Buy These?

On the actual show he was showing signed cards for all three items, each time that they appeared. For that reason I just assumed that he had some input in them or some involvement in the process.

The beaver does show a signed card: http://www.theshoppingchannel.com/T...nav=R:512690

And for the Pond Hockey, in the description it says:


I just assumed that when they come with the art card, which is exclusive to Steven Bromberg's sales, that he has some input in the creation process. But you're right, it is just pure speculation. And it fits with the Mint's release that 3 coins from the November issue were commissioned by dealers. It would be nice for them to explain which coins and by which dealers. I guess that explains why the Polar Bear appeared to be so 'hot', because Bromberg probably got a decent chunk of the mintage to sell since he commissioned them.

And, here's one more connection - which may be unrelated. On Bromberg's CDN C&C website he is doing a Christmas giveaway/draw type thing. The prize: Swimming Beaver 5 Oz., Iconic Polar Bear 1 Oz., Pond Hockey 1 Oz. and the Dreamcatcher coin.

I just wish we didn't have to do so much 'speculating'. The Mint should just make all of this known.
