Jstottmann, At times it's being at the right place at the right time / being lucky. Most of my collection is from trading with others / buying on ebay etc. For One person to find all this out in the wild is next to impossible as nickleman said. Once you start collecting the natural progression is to go out and start buying what you want for your collection etc after a point. The $1 notes I posted above was an afterthought as all those notes DID NOT come for sale at the same time. It took me a while to buy those notes individually once I figured out who had them / won the previous auctions. A dealer had won some of the notes......ergo, it made it somewhat easier to buy them and finish it off in sequence. |

I had found the 0007 8099 a while back in fed strap and traded for the 0007 8009 and 8010 earlier this week locally. 90 notes apart and leading separate lives. FWIW, these either come out in pairs at the end of bricks or as single notes in the middle of chcu notes in bep packs. Not as good as your star ladder sn...but these are the short run somewhat rare 03A $2 stars that I sent you a email about a while ago. Ergo, should hold a good premium.  Edited by Ceylon62

The closest ladder I've had was a $1 87653241 - that blasted '4'! I sold it for $5.

Sometimes these auctions are funny...I missed / forgot about placing a bid for an auction on a ladder note recently and it went for barely over face. IF IF I had placed a bid or someone else had placed a bid it probably would have gone for another $20 plus.

I know exactly what you are saying It's very common for me to watch notes for days but never bid on them. I enter in the amount I want to pay into my sniper program and when it is finally over and I look it sold for the minimum bid OVER what I bid. If I had a nickel for every time that has happened I could open my own coin shop. The thing to remember when this happens is that I was bidding against just one person, and that their max bid may have been much higher it only shows the minimum over my bid to win the auction. Who knows how much more that one person was willing to pay. If that one person had slept in that morning I would have got the note for less than my snipe bid. That difference could easily be a hundred dollars on some notes. |

Lets say you have this repeater 0640 0640. On a normal step up and down the sn would go like this 0640 0639 and 0640 0641. Wouldn't 0640 0630 and 0640 0650 be better OR.....  I think this is only possible when you have "zero" at positions 1,8 and centered. Pick ups from yesterday below. I had the 0405 repeater and like these flip flopped digit sn's as a set. Sort of neat.    |

Ceylon those sets are awesome! The first 3 notes love that 05040302. The second set sure wish it had the 05043000 serial, but of course that would have been in a different bundle (brick) now wouldn't it The last 2 notes are really nice repeaters but together as a set they are way cool! Nice finds!   |
