Although I would never but coins from a TV show, I always look forward to watching them. I commented a few weeks ago about how HSN was selling slabbed 2013 ASE's on New Year's Eve and using 2012 and 2010 ASE's inside the slabbed ANACS MS70,I thought that was amusing.
I watch another show on ShopNBC and they were also selling slabbed MS70 2013 ASE's, but they were showing a 2012 slabbed, but repeated upfront that these are not 2013, but have gotten back a preliminary report from NGC on how many MS70's they have so far. I totally accept this method vs. HSN's method.
What really had me laughing (out loud) and my wife telling me I am such a geek, is the ShopNBC guys were ripping into the "other network's methods of selling slabbed MS70 2013 ASE's and acting as if they had them in hand and they went on to rip them for selling that way, hiding the date on the screen and using a less inferior TPG (ANACS), they said we don't have the slabbed MS70's in hand, but they are shipping out soon, they did have a full monster box of 2013's they opened on air. They also said, we get ours graded by a more reputable TPG, NGC.

I was laughing so hard at how they were ripping the other network, I thought I was the only one who noticed the HSN method. I just thought this can only be appreciated by fellow coin collectors and watchers of these shows.
Anyone else see this?

I missed that one. I guess I was too busy watching The Steve Harvey Show.

Actually, I was too busy reading and posting in this forum.

On a serious note, thanks for sharing. I only catch the shopping networks when channel surfing. I usually block them but my cable provider tends to give me problems and I have to re-program my TV about once every couple of months.

I love these salesmen on TV the coins, but have never bought anything. Many of you out there patronize these companies?

all I have seen for sale lately on these shows are ASE's and wheats
they are amusing at first but can get boring pretty fast because they say the same things over and over
