Thanks to yennus I've finally "completed" my one of each Panda "set". Needed the 93, 07 & 09 S10Y http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/Coins/SetListing.aspx?PeopleSetID=139073 (let's pretend the 83-85 don't exist haha) Long journey starting from when comeaux gave me a nice 2011 MS69 S10Y... Finally have one of each every year and almost all varieties. Missing some notable ones such as Mirror/Serif 1/Micro Date/92 SD and so on but I'll get there in 2020 when I stop trying to buy random stuff every time .
Congrats! I am down to just needing the 97, 99, 12 for my pcgs ms69 set. http://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/MySetRegistry/mycollection.aspx?c=98873
Congrats Fishball, big effort that..........I'll just keep buying one here and there when the funds allow me too
congratulations Fishball, I'm very envious (it's best to be honest). So just the commemoratives, gold and plats to go
Bah! It's not a full set if it doesn't include the BIG3!!! ehehehe... (Joking... joking) Congratz bro! You beat me to the finish line. I haven't completed a full NGC MS69 set yet. Post pics! Next is a full MS70 set right?
It has been great watching your journey on the sidelines. Congrats Fishball. Even more encouraging is how much you give back to fellow Panda/Mi Goreng collectors.
fishball !! you are king !! do you sleep at all ? you cant eat much buying all those bears, and working on that fantastic site you got going! congrats .......................
Congratulations fishball. Its a long journey when we begin with the omp and capsule pandas to upgrade to ngc and now ncs and ngc pandas. I think yennus and comeaux are the guilty people with infected us with the pandamania. Yennus pandas and comeaux ngcs and ncss I think is the same than iphone. First iphone 2g. 3g Iphone 4., iphone 5 and ipad 1 and 2. Now pandas, unicorns, gow, singapores pandas, beijing pandas. Brass medals.
You are right. Started with capsules, graded, now looking for 69 pandas. Now I am hoping to wait out the market, hopefully unload all the MS 68 pandas that I have.
Not as satisfying as I had hoped but more satisfying than spending the equivalent on a holiday or a TV. The biggest satisfaction was the process of collecting. The goal itself while satisfying is nothing near the fun I had sniping Pandas on eBay. Luckily I am nowhere near complete in collecting Modern Chinese COinage... and never will be
Congratulations on an exceptional job fishball !!! It is rewarding to see your collection grow so quickly in only a short period of time, exceptional job !!! Thanks for all of the meticulous work you have done on the panda stats site and all of the other data you provide, you are definitely a machine !!! Your work is and has been extremely resourceful and beneficial to all panda collectors
