<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 2247484, member: 36864&quot;]For the record, I think TPGs have helped the hobby much more than they devalue their services with practices like this, but are they really struggling for submissions to make some cash?&nbsp; Apparently not judging by the turnaround time of my last submission. I just wish that knowing how to grade, studying the market and knowing the series that you&#039;re collecting still meant a thing or two. I&#039;m 39, but I remember the days before TPGs ever had a marketshare and it was possible to find quality coins without having to deal with population reports and plastic cases (not to mention eBay or the like). Maybe I&#039;m just old school, but those days were fun if you took the steps to learn the hobby. Today it&#039;s all about making a buck more than it is to be a collector. Even the mint is propagating this with all of their &quot;instant rarity&quot; offerings. To me, this is all making the hobby much less fun, but I love it anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
