    Likely their placement from the die cut master. They probably get printed as a full sheet of 9 or 12 and then cut out as individuals from there. There are always marks on items like this to tell where it was printed, when and also from where exactly in that set it came.

    If you look on a USA Cent, you'll see a S, D or P, signifying at which Mint it was struck. One of them is actually denoted by a missing letter but I forget.

    It's the P mint except for 2017 pennies

  2. Only one way to find out dunno if anyone has theirs handy

    Hey @Hybrid The Konami/Ultra things are beginning to gain steam in the higher end spectrum of the hobby so I think it’s worth tracking whether or not the label has any sign of label lift.

    Also, someone said to me that the 5-screw Oddities all have Konami manufactured boards whereas the standard releases don’t. if there’s any validity to that then I think we have a solid way of tracking these things as legitimate.

    You would actually consider stealing something that isn't yours? What's the difference in keeping it and pulling a knife on someone to steal it? Sounds like the same thing to me, it's robbery either way. Man, I don't understand how people can do some things, I have seen situations where $20 makes the difference between rent and homelessness for a person and thinking about that person being kicked out of their home so I can buy a bag of chips just seems ridiculous.

    I always think that I have the option to do what's best for me or to do what's best for everyone else all the time. If I do what's best for me, I have a total of 1 person in the entire world looking out for my best interest. If everyone always did what's best for everyone else first, then I would have billions of people looking out for my best interest. Which would you prefer?

    I was in the dressing room getting dressed before hockey one day and some guys next to me were talking about times they found a wallet and took out all the gift cards before returning it, laughing about it. I stopped talking to that person, I didn't trust them with anything I owned and I made sure I didn't use their plumbing company for any work on my home, plus I told all of my friends about it. The amount of money they lost for a couple of gift cards is huge and they still don't even know it.

    Yes, you did the right thing. At some point in everyone's life, they wonder if they're a good person because money start to become less important. Not everyone is able to say they are.

    Dealing with the public in general has hardened me over the 20+ years of working retail. I personally would not consider doing it, but it was an option. Doing something nice for someone made me feel good. 😊

    I don't get it. What other option did you have?

    As others have said leave it there.

    Fix it and claim it for myself

    Throw it away

    Remember there's always other options.

    I'm still waiting on the call back when the person gets here

  5. Today I came home from work and found a cellphone on the lawn to where I live. I powered it up and found a message on it (on the first screen that came up) to call this number if found. I waited for a bit and then decided to call the number. When I got ahold of the person she seemed almost shocked that someone called.

    I still have reservations about doing it. Did I do the right thing?
