  1. There are some excellent cover from the Bronze Age and in this thread. My favorite:
  2. The last one is the “Money Line.” It is just picking the winner of the game, no pints are involved. With your numbers shown. You’d need to lay $130 to win $100 on Iowa (the favorite) and $105 to win $100 on LSU. If you want to continue betting, I highly suggest finding a different book to use. This one is charging 15 cent juice before the game starts, when almost all books only charge 10 cents. (It is common to switch to 15 cents for live betting on games though.) You might also see numbers such as Iowa -1.5 -115 and LSU +1.5 -105. Hope this helps a little bit.
  3. At least one book from Janis Ian’s collection is noted as such on a CGC label. There could be more, but I’ve only seen one.
  4. This is just a guess, and I apologize if anyone has already mentioned this. Is it possible that the new slab that had a special label can’t be attached to an old number? Maybe labels and certs done before the specialized artwork labels started can’t carry the old cert number into a new reholdered slab? My best guess.
  5. Do we have to factor in the exchange rate for the random Canadian coins that inevitably end up in that much change? Asking for my Canadian accountant friend.
  6. Wow. That was a nice portion of the run in CGC 9.8. There were a few Pedigree books too. I wonder if someone just gave up on putting the run together in 9.8? I can say from experience that it isn’t easy.
