I think some of the differences in how TPG's are perceived has to do with how collectors buy. Those who have the time and will to attend shows,...
Exactly. Are people considering it a physical store of value, or are they planning on using the copper to make things out of? You don't melt...

There's a 1961 Red Book on sale on Ebay for $24.99 (Buy-it-now) right now. Doesn't necessarily mean it will sell, of course, but Ebay is usually...
