Future for Coin Market and Teletrade Looks Very Bright 
by Melissa on Wednesday, December 30, 1998

1998 is coming to a close as Teletrade reaches it's 1,120th auction. This has been a year of growth for both the coin market and Teletrade. Coins came alive as price sheets showed multiple plus signs for the first time in many years. Coin shows were actually buzzing with activity and optimism showed on many dealers faces. Teletrade has grown in several ways. Our auctions have grown in size, value, and frequency, our staff has virtually doubled, and most importantly we became a public company as a fully owned subsidiary of Greg Manning Auctions. The future for both the market and Teletrade looks very, very bright. To all of you from the staff at Teletrade, have a Happy and safe New year! We appreciate all your support and greatly appreciate your business.

Teletrade Unveils New, Lightening Quick Web Site 
by Melissa on Tuesday, December 08, 1998

Teletrade released the much anticipated new, quick access web site on December 1. With an easy to use navigational structure, the new site offers the most advanced, cutting-edge internet technology at the fastest speed possible. Teletrade's new auction supersite offers a wealth of on-site resources. The first online "Real Price" guide for certified coins, sportscards/memorabilia, and certified diamonds is now available to visitors. The price guide is updated as soon as an auction closes and visitors can search the online price guide for specific items. Teletrade's new "Track and Bid" utility, a sophisticated yet easy to use auction system, allows access to auctions while they are in progress and allows for "real time" bids. Visitors can enter auctions and watch the bidding without placing a bid. When they choose to plunge into the fast-paced action, they place real time bids that are immediately displayed on the screen. Bidding by telephone is also real-time and it is all integrated into one auction system. The experience of a Teletrade auction is similar to that of a live floor auction - fast paced and exciting". High resolution digital images of selected lots are also available at the site. These images are considered the highest quality in the industry and on the internet and are created entirely by Teletrade's in-house team of skilled photographers. For questions or comments regarding the new site, please contact Melissa Goldberg at melissag@teletrade.com

Teletrade Offers over $2,000,000 in Diamonds in Upcoming Auctions 
by Dave Coliukos on Monday, July 13, 1998

Whether your looking for an investment, an engagement ring, or a special present, Teletrade is your source for buying quality diamonds at wholesale prices. Every diamond is accompanied with a GIA certificate, isuued by the Gemological Institute of America. This certificate is recognized as the worldwide standard in diamond evaluation. Additionally, every diamond comes with a scanned Gemprint image and registration or a laser inscribed identification number. Gemprint is the international computerized identification system for diamonds. Gemprint uses a low powered laser to shine through a diamond and reflect the 'sparkle pattern' created by the angles of its cut. A computer scans and captures the unique pattern of the diamond and the image is printed on a registration certificate and downloaded to the Gemprint International Database. This identification system provides proof of ownership, recovery potential in the event of loss or theft, and insurance savings with participating insurance companies. You'll never have to worry about tampering or fraudelent stone-switching when leaving your diamond for cleaning, repair, or re-setting. Gemprint lets you verify stone ownership with absolute confidence. If you would like further information on our diamond auctions or a free consultation on what to look for when buying a diamond, please contact Melissa Goldberg at 800-232-1132 Ext. 203 or by E-mail at melissag@teletrade.com
