Hi there: the current for sales thread combines three age (gold/silver/bronze) into one thread and it’s cumbersome and we would all be better served if you would create a separate thread for each age.

I honestly wouldn’t know where to begin responding to your incredibly ignorant statements. Just plain stupid.

This is a very irresponsible opinion and misinformed opinion as we are only in the early stage of its potential to spread.

2008 doesn’t seem so long ago, but it’s all one big blur and I don’t remember what I was buying or selling at that time. thank goodness for Heritage Archives! 😉

Seems as though Heritage received a flurry of last minute consignments just before the deadline date. as of this morning, 305 OA lots are listed with full title and descriptions, but there’s a lot more great OA in the miscellaneous section, too. unfortunately, I think I’ll be sitting this one out, watching along the sidelines.

The Canadian dollar tanked against the $US back in Jan 21 2002, when it hit a modern day low of 61.79 cents US. the cross rate was $1US = $1.618 CAD. It would have cost around $1.65 CAD to purchase $1USD

It’s a psychological threshold. $1 US now cost $1.48. Ugh!

Agreed. Once we break under the 70 cent threshold, it will be much easier for a free fall to occur.

If the $US dollar continues to strengthen against my beaver dollars, I may be forced to sit out this auction. $1USD = $1.44CAD. Ouch!!!

City of Calgary has declared a state of emergency

Yes, I saw that. as far as the grade goes, the seller was very,very lucky to get a 9.2

It depends which country you’re talking about. Italy’s mortality rate is higher than most and the lockdown hasn’t had the desired effect yet. meaning, this virus is highly contagious!

Times are tough and will become tougher. in order to prevent further spread of Covid-19, The CN Tower is closed, all government run March Break programs are closed, public libraries are closed and/or will close today, worship at churches are cancelled, Toronto Zoo is closed, hockey Hall of Fame is closed, Royal Ontario Museum is closed, along with the Art Gallery of Ontario, classes at Ontario’s two largest universities are cancelled and will be conducted online only. Several other universities have also cancelled in-person classes, and many, may more cancellations too numerous to list here. oh yeah, and as a preventative measure, Toronto’s mayor is in self isolation for the next two weeks because he recently returned from a trip to the UK

We should ask D-I-C-K O...he’s never been wrong on an estimate...after the final hammer.

Unfortunately, there are and will always be people whose self-interest (Terry) outweigh the greater good. So be it. He had an opportunity to do the right thing, but chose to call us all ignorant of the facts, because he clearly knows better than the doctors, virus specialists, governments and so on. I think its only a matter of time before the State of California shuts down his convention anyhow. Way to go, Terry!

Here in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area), March break has been extended by an additional two weeks for all grades, the St Patrick’s Day parade is cancelled, the Superior court of Ontario has issued a statement that trails requiring juries are postponed, and so on. We’ll see how this evolves, but if the number of cases continues to spike significantly, we can expect the closure of more public facilities such as libraries, community centres, religious events, and possibly, movie theatres, malls, and who knows what else.

Actually, here in Canada, the Council of Imams and the Muslim Medical Association of Canada have recommended that services be suspended indefinitely in order to do their part to reduce the spread of covid-19. i wish convention promoters would be as responsible and do the right thing by cancelling their conventions. those that haven’t yet cancelled are clearly sending the message that the almighty dollar trumps your health, and that of anyone else you may come in contact with. they do not have my support and they will not receive my business now or during subsequent events.

I live in the GTA and I'm not setting foot anywhere near the convention. Last thing I want to happen is a similar situation to Italy, where the entire country is under lockdown. If the cost of avoiding a lockdown is cancelling some stupid comic convention to prevent more death and misery than necessary from occurring, then its a SMALL price to pay.

Absolutely! and since you're so good at predictive valuations, it would be a shame to share your wisdom only with me. So let's help you reach out to a larger paying audience by providing us with your valuations for the following pieces in the upcoming HA auction, with variance of +/- 10%: 1.

Right!

The 4 weeks is just a starting point, as in let's see where we're at with further study and understanding of this virus, etc. I never implied that it would go away after 4 weeks and we'd be done with it.

Children are NOT immune. Not sure where you’re getting your information from, but that is unequivocally false.

I can’t answer that. No one can

Schools in the province of Ontario will have to close for an additional two weeks, on top of March break, which begins next week

You don’t have an online presence? better that you get infected and transmit to your family?
