GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8939 Posts	Posted 02/01/2019 08:48 am I was on Great Collections looking at sold prices when I came across this example. https://www.greatcollections.com/Co...CGS-MS-65-RD They attributed it as FS-901 Wide AM. It's clearly not for those who can tell. Here is a true FS-901. https://www.greatcollections.com/Co...CGS-MS-65-RD Do yall see this a lot? Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 02/01/2019 08:53 am That's what I have never understood why they call it Wide AM. They are all Wide AM's. The FS-901 is the correct attribution. Why the TPG's call it a Wide AM makes no sense to me either. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 02/01/2019 09:43 am Note that they are the same grade and attribution, but the one that sold three years ago went for twice as much. Values on all those "901" varieties have fallen hard as people continue to find them and what was rare becomes less so. Report this Post to the Staff

They are all Wide AM's. the naming makes no sense, and it's incredibly difficult for new collectors to figure out. Report this Post to the Staff

GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8939 Posts	Posted 02/01/2019 1:50 pm @stoneman it's listed as Wide AM because the WAM is RDV-006 they didn't feel the need to be specififc. NGC Designats it like this on their slabs. Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 02/01/2019 2:13 pm That tag given to 006 is a bit deceptive on a 1988 as the M is centered between the A and E on all 88's. The Close AM which basically caused the nameing of the Wide AM didn't come to us till 1992. Report this Post to the Staff
