Yep, just another gimmick to seperate the collector from his or her money. It's pure genius. You get to pay just as much or more as you did for the coin so somebody else can tell you what you already knew except it's put in plastic with a paper grade attached. A grade which will change every year or so and you've gotta go thru the whole process over again...

Right up there with the Drew Rosenhaus and other Sports Agents
